BREAKING: #Druzhbana oil depot near #Bryansk, Russia is apparently on fire. I’m not yet sure if this is a junction of the #Baltic Pipeline System-2 (BPS-2) - the longest pipeline in the world. Very bad news for Russia if so. 1/5
The BPS-2 pipeline begins in #Unecha, runs North (passing through #Bryansk & #Smolensk) & ends at #Ust-Luga at the Gulf of Finland. 2/5
The pipeline I was constructed (at a cost to 🇷🇺 of over $4bn) so Russia could have an alternate route to bring oil to Europe so it didn’t have to go through Belarus. 3/5
This oil supply system, which also serves Russia territories, is owned & operated by Transneft (government-owned) The pipeline is 727 miles-long (1,170km). 4/5
I believe the oil depot is about 100 km (63 miles) from the Ukraine border. Don’t know the cause yet but it’s certainly not “false flag” to rile up Russians. Sabotage or missile hit. 5/5
