- There is no tragedy from the perspective of the residents, consumers. It is more of a problem for us because everything needs to be rebuilt – said Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilev.

However, Reuters reported on Monday, citing three sources, that the Moscow refinery halted Euro+ oil processing due to the fire.

This oil accounts for approximately half of the refinery's output. Sources claimed that the repair will take 5-6 days.
