An inflection point in Ukraine

Up In Flames: Ukraine Strikes Key Fuel Depot Crucial To Moscow's Victory Plan

BY TYLER DURDEN
Ukrainian drones attacked fuel depots in the city of Engels in the Saratov region in western Russia.





There was an explosion and a huge fire. Local authorities decided to introduce a state of emergency, reports the Interia news portal

The attack on the oil depot, which supplies fuel to the Engels-2 military airport, was carried out on Tuesday night. The strike was confirmed in a statement by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

“Numerous explosions were reported near the target and a large-scale fire broke out. Local authorities confirm that an ‘industrial facility’ was hit  (…) More detailed information on the results of combat operations is being clarified,” it was written.

“Damage to the oil base creates serious logistical problems for the strategic aviation of the Russian occupiers and significantly reduces its ability to attack peaceful Ukrainian cities and civilian facilities,” it added.
