Eighth Day of the Oil Depot Fire in the Rostov Region

Fire at the oil depot in the Rostov region

After the massive strike on Ukraine, all the propagandist forces are screaming with delight, calling this strike revenge for Kursk. However, the same propagandists conveniently forget to mention that the oil depot in the Rostov region is still burning after Ukrainian strikes.

The oil reserve depot “Kavkaz” in Proletarsk, Rostov region, has been burning for eight days now. And no one can do anything about this fire. All that’s left is to wait for the petroleum products to burn out on their own, while the residents of Proletarsk have no choice but to breathe in the toxic smoke and quietly curse the chief strategist, Putin, who launched the “special military operation” in February 2022.

When the massive fire at the oil depot first started, local residents initially gathered aid for the firefighters, but now they are forced to clear out pharmacies of regular masks, which can at least somewhat protect them from the suffocating smoke—or rather, from the soot particles that have permeated the entire air.

And this is far from the end. The fire continues, and the flames are already approaching entire tanks of kerosene. The next episode of the fire show will be when they overheat and start exploding. Of course, a miracle could happen, and the wind could change direction, preventing an explosion—an explosion, not just a gradual ignition. Because it’s the overheated kerosene vapors that will explode. This is what the “special military operation” has become, right on the territory of the Rostov region, where a sanitary zone similar to those in the Belgorod and Kursk regions is beginning to form.

Meanwhile, as residents of the Rostov region watch in horror at the fire that has been raging for more than a week, in the Kursk region, the Russian air force decided to show the Ukrainian Armed Forces who’s in charge by dropping a guided bomb with a planning and correction module on a children’s ice rink in Sudzha.

And do you know why these Putin’s falcons did it? Ukrainians wrote on the ice rink building, where residents not only from Sudzha but also from nearby settlements learned to skate, that Russians should take away their corpses lying around the city.

As a result of the guided bomb strike, the ice rink ceased to exist. And here’s the important detail—there were no Ukrainian Armed Forces there when the strike was made.

So, for the residents of the Kursk region, who have been forced to flee from the “special military operation,” there’s very bad news—your homes will be turned into ruins by the Russian army, just as they are doing now in Donbas.
