Fuel Depot in Flames as Russia, Ukraine Trade Blame
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Russia and Ukraine are at it again, trading accusations. On Sunday, the governor of Russia’s Belgorod region claimed that Ukrainian forces launched an attack on a fuel depot, sparking a series of fires. This came after both Moscow and Kyiv pointed fingers at each other for overnight attacks on border regions.

What They Are saying

Vyacheslav Gladkov, the Belgorod governor, took to Telegram to report that Ukrainian forces, allegedly armed with drones, hit a fuel storage site in the Volokonovsky district, conveniently near the border. Of course, this triggered explosions and ignited several fuel reservoirs, causing yet another firestorm, literally. Firefighters were on the scene, trying to control the blaze as fast as possible.

“The Ukrainian military, aided by lethal drones, attacked a fuel storage site in Volokonovsky district,” Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote on Telegram, referring to an area near the border.

Gladkov didn’t stop there. He claimed that drones also hit three other localities in the region, though, in a twist of luck, no casualties were reported.

Why It Matters

Meanwhile, over in Ukraine, officials had their own grim report. Two people were killed and four others injured in Sumy region during the overnight attacks. In Belgorod, three civilians were reported injured, including two children. Sounds like both sides are making sure no one misses out on the destruction. Sumy’s military administration added that several homes and cars were damaged in the process, because, clearly, nothing says “war effort” like smashing civilian infrastructure.

Gladkov added that in Belgorod, two residential buildings were wiped out, and over 15 structures were damaged. Guess what? Two children were among the injured here too.

And, of course, Russia’s Ministry of Defence wasn’t going to sit this one out. They jumped in, claiming to have destroyed two Ukrainian drones, one in Belgorod and another in Kursk, a region that had been the site of a cross-border incursion last month. Talk about keeping busy! They said two more drones were intercepted over Belgorod overnight.

Let’s not forget, though, that none of these reports can be independently verified. Reuters even made a point of saying that. So, who’s telling the truth? Who knows? But what we do know is that both Moscow and Kyiv continue to deny targeting civilians, each insisting they’re just trying to destroy each other’s war infrastructure. What a noble cause! Meanwhile, thousands of civilians have died, cities have been reduced to rubble, and millions have been displaced since Russia decided to launch its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Bottom Line

This endless back-and-forth doesn’t seem to have a finish line, but what’s clear is that civilians on both sides are the ones paying the highest price.
