In the Russian city of Bryansk at night and in the morning on April 25 two oil depots caught fire. Russia's Interfax reported these fires, citing its own sources. In addition, videos of large-scale fires are already being broadcast on numerous Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels.
“Early in the morning, a diesel fuel tank caught fire on the territory of the oil complex on Snizhetsky Val. The fire engulfed a 10,000-cubic-meter tank,” a source told Interfax.
“At 02:00 on April 25, 2022, the operational shift of the Main Directorate of the Ministry for Emergencies of Russia in Bryansk Oblast received a report of a fire at the following address: Bryansk, Fokinsky District, Moskovsky Ave. – before that Interfax wrote about the first fire, referring to management of the Ministry of Emergencies. – There is a fire on the territory of the oil depot “.
At least one of these oil depots, according to Russian propaganda media, is owned by Transneft-Druzhba JSC. Russia to Europe compared to maritime transport. In Bryansk – the main distribution area.
It will be a heavy blow for Russia. The Druzhba pipeline pumps up to 150,000 tons of oil daily. It is almost impossible to quickly redirect the supply of such raw materials to other routes. Russia's budget could lose up to 10 percent of its direct revenue from customs duties, and the oil business will suffer a significant blow that will be difficult to recover from. Reducing supplies will lead to the conservation of wells, and the resumption of production will require significant time and money.
