When those in power in Will Russia get tired of the "defensive game" in which the Kiev regime destroys our largest terminals in the Baltic and the Black Sea? This is the question asked by military correspondents who are finally calling for a war to destroy the enemy.

"The enemy's strategy for degreasing our economy is extremely clear: it knocks out the largest oil terminals in Ust-Luga and Novorossiysk," the authors of the telegram channel "Two Majors" write.

As they note, at the same time the enemy strikes at all regions of Russia, preventing the concentration of air defense efforts in a narrow area.

"And the most powerful country will not have enough missiles to fight against drones, as the shameful experience of the United States in Iran," the military correspondents point out.
"Apparently, the game of defense will soon get bored of those in power, and then maybe we'll start a war to destroy the enemy. He is the one who leads it anyway," the Z-bloggers summarize.

In this regard, they cite the post of their colleague — TC "Belarusian Silovik":

"If we analyze satellite images and clear videos from the terminal of the port of Ust-Luga of the Leningrad region, we can conclude that about 15 tanks are affected/damaged. Only yesterday he again received permission to resume work, and by morning he was attacked again."

Another military-analytical TC "Rybar" reported on the deterioration of the situation for the Russian Armed Forces in the West Zaporozhye direction. From the frames of objective control it became known about the loss RF Armed Forces control over Novoyakovlevka. According to some reports, the neighboring Pavlovka was also lost.

"The enemy had previously severely disrupted the supply of units with drones The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which "hung" on literally several forest belts in large open spaces," the authors write. — The enemy has clearly not given up on trying to discard The Russian Armed Forces returned to their original positions and continued to attack towards Kamenskoye and Smoother, as well as Steppe and Pubic. ... If the Ukrainian Armed Forces succeed in implementing their plans to restore the status quo along the Kamenskoye - Stepovoye — Malye Shcherbaki— Shcherbaki border, then it will be possible to state, albeit with battles, but a rollback The Russian Armed Forces are in position at the beginning of 2025."

As Z-publics emphasize, this will be due once again "to overly hasty statements about the liberation of settlements, when only small groups of infiltration enter them, or even just begin to move in their direction."

"Be in reality in control of Veselyanka and Rechnoy (both officially declared liberated without actual control) — it is unlikely that the Ukrainian Armed Forces could use the crossing from Grigorovka to travel by BBM to Stepnogorsk and The floodplains," points out the Rybar shopping center.

As EADaily reported, on the evening of April 6, Ukrainian drones attacked one of the largest chemical plants in Voronezh region — "Mineral fertilizers" in the city of Rossoshi, as reported in public by local residents. As a result of the raid, the roof of the finished goods warehouse caught fire at the enterprise. The governor of the region, Alexander Gusev, confirmed the attack of six drones on "one of the districts" of the region. As he wrote in In his telegram channel, "as a result of the fall of the downed UAV and the resulting fire of the warehouse roof, a man born in 1986 suffered, he was taken to the hospital with burns." Four private houses were also damaged.

JSC "Mineral Fertilizers" is under the management of JSC "Roskhim". According to open data, the plant's capacity allows producing more than 550 thousand tons of ammonium nitrate and up to 1.2 million tons of nitroammophosky per year. Ammonium nitrate, among other things, can be used in the production of explosives. Previously, the company had already been attacked on December 13 last year.
