Repeated Ukrainian strikes against a critical Russian energy export node in the Krasnodar region city of Tuapse, and unchecked fires and massive pollution, have forced Kremlin propagandists to acknowledge national air defenses are struggling to prevent Ukrainian attacks, most recently on Wednesday during a broadcast of Russia’s probably single most popular news program, Solovyev LIVE.
“For us, here, there is a war going on. Just now, they [Ukraine] hit Tuapse, and not a little. We are being hit everywhere,” Solovyev erupted during a conversation with a Russian female beauty influencer named Viktoria Bonya. “The thing is, there is a part of our society for which there is no war. Which doesn’t want to accept the war. Which doesn’t want to see it.”
Hours before Solovyev’s broadcast, in the pre-dawn hours, workhorse Ukrainian An-196 long-range pusher drones had appeared over Tuapse and attacked. Locals reported 10-20 explosions. The strike package set at least four oil reservoirs at the site on fire and expanded a blaze in progress since an earlier attack on April 20. Practically all crude oil or crude oil derivatives exported by Russia via Black Sea ports pass through the Tuapse facility.

There is a simple answer to your problem, Russia. Stop your bloody, genocidal, terroristic (3 day?) war against Ukraine. Withdraw all your troops from Ukrainian territory.
