The St. Petersburg oil transshipment facility is one of the largest on the Baltic Coast and is situated a staggering six hundred and eighty miles from the Ukrainian border.
And in a shocking video, we see the rudimentary air defense Russia deployed to protect the city.
And what am I talking about? Well, it's a guy with an AK-47 trying to shoot at a drone in the sky.
That shows that over Russia's second city, they really don't have this layered air defense capability that we would expect to see.
The strike left a shadow hanging over the city as Putin's guest entered the International Economic Forum just ten miles from the burning terminal.
Who are Putin's remaining global partners? Well, attendees include the alleged human trafficker Andrew Tate; conspiracy theorist Candace Owens; allegedly corrupt and Putin crony ex-German chancellor Gerhard Schröder, the man Putin requested to be an intermediary in peace talks with Ukraine; and last but not least, you know, an organization known for, um, its prowess, the Taliban.
It hits the Russian leader at his heart, and his attendance list is from countries that don't really have very much money.
Further attacks in Taganrog by the unmanned systems forces of the Ukrainian military saw the shadow fleet tankers burn in the port of Fedosia, and the Kurganneftprodukt oil depot storage facilities were also hit.
