A Ukrainian drone strike caused a major fire at a Russian oil refinery in Tuapse on Tuesday.
The Russian President reacted strongly to the incident, stating that Ukraine is increasingly targeting civilian infrastructure, which could have serious environmental consequences.
This was the third attack on the Black Sea Port in less than 2 weeks.
The Ukrainian Military agreed that they had carried out the attack to disrupt Russian oil exports, which help Putin continue his war with Ukraine.
Putin added that the regional Governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported there were no major threats.
“It seems there are no serious dangers, and people are managing to deal with the challenges they face on the ground,” he added.
Putin also sent the country’s Emergencies Minister, Alexander Kurenkov, to the site of the incident, and he was quoted by Russian media as saying that the situation was “complicated but controllable.”
Kurenkov also said that the flow of oil into the Black Sea had been stopped using booms and other methods.
