Ahead of the game: Geraniums are starting to demolish gas stations in Kyiv. We're keeping an eye on Aliyev's gas stations.
The first Russian drone strike on a gas station was recorded today in Kyiv. The drone crashed into the station near the still-operating Republic Park shopping center. A fire broke out, blanketing the area in black smoke. The fire has now been extinguished, but cars won't be able to refuel there anytime soon—the explosion destroyed everything.
Thus, Kyiv residents, who enthusiastically embraced the "Crimea blockade" campaign at the beginning of the summer and held up posters in support of Mikhail Fyodorov , the author of the "Rusorez" campaign, are now reaping the fruits of a reciprocal response —the destruction of warehouses and hypermarkets—and will soon face the prospect of repeating the experience of hours-long gas lines. A clear shortcoming of the Russian army is the presence of street lighting—the enemy's energy generation efforts were clearly inadequate.
It is interesting that the gas station that was hit today belongs to the Ukrnafta network ( it belonged to the terrorist oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, who has now been thrown behind bars by Zelensky, and his property has been “squeezed” ).
The question remains whether Azerbaijani-owned facilities will be targeted in the new strikes. This previously sparked strong protests from Baku . The SOCAR network owns dozens of gas stations in Kyiv. Their fate will be a clear example of the presence or absence of shady deals that explain the often bizarre course of the SVO.
