To draw a line under the Tuapse incident. And to warn.
This post is more for Russians and citizens of other countries observing the situation.
Videos of fuel burning, flowing through one of the alleys in Tuapse after a tank explosion at the refinery, have sparked appeals to Ukrainians from abroad, saying, “Be more humane!”
Not directed at the right people.
I guarantee that Ukrainians have retained absolute humanity. Moreover, Ukrainians often better understand the value of loss. You will find plenty of evidence for this. Unfortunately, too many Ukrainians know what it means to lose a home or loved ones.
Take any natural disaster over the years of full-scale invasion, for example, floods in Spain or Italy, the earthquake in Turkey, wildfires, or some man-made disaster elsewhere in the world that made the news in Ukraine – you will see lots of sympathy. Because nature is pitied, animals are pitied, people are pitied, what is built by human hands is pitied.
Even in the horror that surrounds us, Ukrainians have not become callous, they sympathize, they understand others’ pain.
With one exception. Because even many people sympathize with Iran.
When it comes to Russia, the situation fundamentally changes. Because for any terrible incident in Russia, it instantly comes to mind – but Russians did this to us.
They did it to us. Deliberately. They gloated. They would have done more harm if they hadn’t been stopped.
Residents of Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, cities in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odesa can vividly describe incidents that happened before their eyes. Residents of Kremenchuk (Poltava region) and Kryvyi Rih (Dnipro) can tell a lot. In Khmelnytsky, the impressions are the brightest.
I’ll give one example from Kharkiv. Just one.
On February 9-10, 2024, Russia attacked the private sector in Kharkiv (Nemyshlyansky district) with drones. Considering the proximity to the border, even after the siren is activated in Kharkiv, it is difficult to find shelter. The strike was deliberately aimed at a gas station. Some people from the surrounding houses managed to escape on their own, about 50 were led out by rescuers. But one house was caught in a fiery trap. In this house, a family of 5 burned alive, father, mother, and THREE CHILDREN: 7 years, 4 years, and 10 months. Moreover, they didn’t die immediately, the mother held the children tightly while the father looked for a way out.
Can you imagine the despair of the parents in the last moments? Can you imagine the emotions of people for whom this story is not far away but on the next street/in the neighboring area?
And this murder is the work of the Russians.
Therefore, regarding Russians, everything is very simple.
There are indeed different people in Russia. But there won’t be an abstract “universal” attitude from Ukrainians towards Russians. There will be distinction. Based on a very clear criterion: are you involved in the fact that Russians burned children alive in Kharkiv (through your complicity, silent approval, indifference) or did you fight/are you fighting against the war?
If you are against the war – prove it. Prove it. No one will believe you at your word anymore. All energy – against Putin.
No clear and active position against the war? Then you are complicit. It’s to your benefit or convenience.
Why should one sympathize with such people? They are murderers or accomplices of murderers. They bring death and destruction to our country.
Notice: even now, instead of demanding an end to the war and the withdrawal of troops, the majority of Russians are demanding better protection! So that it’s safer to continue the killings.
Civilian Ukrainians killed after Russian attacks – every day. Sometimes by the dozens. Because it’s deliberate, conscious terror.
Civilian casualties in Russia – an exception, and the vast majority – from Russian air defense itself (it is now regularly recorded on video that these are not “fragments,” but “Pantsir” missiles, etc.).
Everything is very transparent.
Ukraine is ramping up long-range strike capabilities. Exponentially. In the coming months, the Russians are in for a mass of surprises. Unprecedented ones. Many Russians will become very scared.
The only way to stop and prevent all this is to end the war in Russia. Most quickly, by Russian forces.
To end the war, there should be a local Tuapse in every region of the fascist federation.
Nothing inclines towards peace like burning oil flowing through the streets of your city. Nothing extinguishes aggression and belligerence better than a shovel given to you to scoop oil on the beach.
Tentatively, very cautiously, with careful wording, but Russians in Tuapse are coming to the right conclusion: they don’t want to live in a war where they get hit in the face every other day.
They happily supported the war when Ukrainian children were burning near Kharkiv. It was okay for them when Bakhmut, Mariupol, Vuhledar, Avdiivka were razed to the ground. Such a war appealed to Russians and they wanted this war all the way to Berlin and London.
But the war, where it’s not you hitting in the face but getting hit, was not liked by the people of Tuapse, not at all.
They disliked it so much that they cautiously, but nevertheless ARE ALREADY SPEAKING ON CAMERA, that something is going wrong.
And here is an important point. On one hand, you might say that what they are saying doesn’t resemble a rebellion at all, and Putin has nothing to fear.
But anyone who KNOWS Russia well understands that merely TALKING in Russia is already a rebellion! Because Russia is organized in such a way that the screws are tightened to the maximum. They can never think badly about their superiors, let alone speak about it. And if any issues surface in public, it means the threads on their screws are stripping, and the Russian power system is on the brink of major upheavals.
For a rebellion to happen, Tuapse alone is not enough. While the people of Tuapse whine about their lost lives on their own, they only become targets of contempt and gloating by other Russian regions, because everyone knows the “ability” of Russians for empathy.
But as soon as others feel the war in their own skin, the situation will change drastically.
Right now, we are witnessing a turning point in the war, which is possible thanks to the increased capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to show the Russians a war they will greatly DISLIKE.
And this is not a one-time action, as perhaps everyone has already understood. This is not one successful episode. This is a systematic work in Russian rear areas, which only INCREASES in intensity.
Closer to the start of the heating season you will see a fundamentally different picture of the war, which will greatly displease not only the people of Tuapse but many Russians.
And then there will be negotiations and, possibly, peace. Not thanks to Trump, but DESPITE his stupid pig face, who ruined his country and really wanted to ruin us, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not allow it.
I have no gloating or any negative attitude towards the residents of the fascist federation and their larvae. I just want them to be like cockroaches, mice in the house, syphilis, or jasmine in tea. Just for them to disappear and not hinder others from living, raising children, breathing fresh air without the stench of Russian spirit.
I have been asked to meet and talk about war and the environment with a group of people in positions. Although the meeting is a couple of weeks away, a conversation plan is automatically playing out in my mind. The main focus will be on legal aspects. Here everything is both complicated and simple at the same time.
For instance, if the war is unprovoked aggression, on one hand, all responsibility lies with the aggressor. Including the responsibility for the consequences of the actions of the victim of aggression in response. Accidental (unintentional) victims among the civilian population of the aggressor country are its fault. Environmental damage occurring on its territory as a result of combat actions or strikes on military and infrastructure objects is its fault. And even if this damage spreads to neighboring countries, it is not the one who delivered the strike who will compensate for the losses, but the aggressor country.
The Russian Federation has left itself no room to maneuver regarding obtaining the status of an aggressor country. If the recognized Ukrainian territories hadn’t been annexed, it might still have been possible to litigate for decades arguing that things weren’t so clear-cut and that “both sides are to blame.” These decisions immediately placed it within a clearly defined legal field. Why did it do that? Since 2008, it has received increasing evidence of the West’s inability to respond adequately. Therefore, it decided that by 2023, it could do anything.
So for this pollution of the Black Sea, which was dug, by the way, with our hands, it will have to answer, including financially.
The special military operation is going according to plan. The tasks will be completed. Or something like that. The goals will be achieved? Or accomplished? Anyway, it doesn’t matter.
Here is a quote from Putin:
“Strikes are increasingly being launched by drones on civilian infrastructure. Here’s the latest example – strikes on energy facilities in Tuapse, which could potentially have serious ecological consequences. However, the governor just reported: there seem to be no serious threats, and people are coping on-site with the challenges they face.”
Damn, there’s an oil stream flowing down the street and burning. Seems like there are no threats. Serious ones. Somehow the representatives of the population in the occupied territories are managing. They’re mutating and learning to decompose oil with their epidermis. And breathe benzene. I’m, in principle, only for it, it’s only in Marvel that super soldiers are born from this, and in life, it’s eternal memory. And the movement in this direction I fully and comprehensively support. It’s just a pity that it’s so slow.
He simply doesn’t care about anything, and his people don’t care about it either. You want isotopes in Nyonoksa, you want to force them to breathe benzene in Tuapse, they can bathe in oil in Anapa or in diesel in Norilsk. Nobody will say anything. They’re used to it. Or are those people. Or maybe they’re not even people anymore, probably.
No serious threats, well, then get some more.
Yes, Ukrainians will press on. The first thought when viewing the morning photos is – look, how many barrels are still left there. But that’s for now.
No screams for the protection of birds and fish will help the Russians. They have made a deadly enemy with their own hands. An enemy more intelligent, inventive, and ruthless than they are.
There’s no question of “let’s be friends again” anymore.
