Background
The Neste terminal at Lomonosov is a petroleum import and storage facility owned by Finnish energy company Neste, located at the port of Lomonosov on the Gulf of Finland, 40km west of St Petersburg.
The terminal was struck in Ukraine's 400-drone Kronstadt wave on the night of 5–6 June 2026, one of four simultaneous targets including the Baltic Fleet corvette Boikyi. The strike on a Finnish-owned facility raised questions about targeting of commercially-owned infrastructure in Russian military-logistics zones.
How the World Sees Them
Finland
The strike on a Neste-owned facility added a diplomatic complication; Neste had withdrawn from Russian retail in 2022 but retained storage assets. Finland declined to comment publicly.
Ukraine
Ukraine targeted the terminal as part of the Kronstadt logistics corridor strikes, treating it as part of the Russian military-adjacent fuel infrastructure regardless of ownership.
