Washington. A deadly fire at an aerospace research institute in Tver, northwest of Moscow. Another blaze at a munitions factory in Perm, more than 1,100 kilometers (680 miles) to the east. And fires in two separate oil depots in Bryansk, near Belarus.Coincidences, or a sign that Ukrainians or their supporters are mounting a campaign of sabotage inside Russia to punish Moscow for invading their country?
Since the blaze at the Central Research Institute of the Aerospace Defense Forces in Tver on April 21, which killed at least 17 people, social media has leapt on every report of a fire somewhere in Russia -- especially at a sensitive location -- as a sign that the country is under covert attack.
No one is claiming responsibility, but analysts say at least some of the incidents, particularly those in Bryansk, point to a possible effort by Kyiv to bring the war to their invaders.
In a post on Telegram, Mykhaylo Podolyak, a senior advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, called the fires "divine intervention."
"Large fuel depots periodically burn... for different reasons," he wrote. "Karma is a cruel thing."
In a massive country such as Russia, a fire at a remote factory or building would normally not be particularly eyebrow-raising.
But since Russian forces invaded Ukraine on February 24, more than a dozen blazes noted by people who document the war have drawn huge attention on social media, amid fears there is a concerted campaign of arsonous terror by the Ukrainians.
Even fires late last month in Russia's far east -- at an airbase north of Vladivostok and at a coal plant on Sakhalin -- raised suspicions.
And on Wednesday, a massive conflagration struck a chemicals plant in Dzerzhinsk, east of Moscow....

"We don't confirm, and we don't deny," he said."
Reminds me of all those “work accidents” the Iranians were having a while back. “The Lord works in mysterious ways...”
I certainly hope so. I would be if I had the means.
Sabotage is possible, but never underestimate Russian incompetence.
Like most things they have, their factories are filled with 40 year old machines dating from the Soviet days being operated by undereducated technicians who down half a bottle at each break time.
Hopefully, it is not Ukraine using US weapons and intel doing this.
But given the loose lips of the Biden Admin, they will admit it in the next few weeks.
I’m not recommending that Americans become afraid, but the upcoming few days are fraught with danger. Just keep your eyes open and your ear to the track. Be prepared.
Frankly, I’m more worried about the apparent sabotage campaign going on right here in America against food processing plants and distribution centers.
The media fueled by mis information is painting the Russians as the bad guys. We’re going all out to wipe them out.
The US is probably doing this using Ukrainians. Why think any different? The only people they are fooling are the brainwashed slugs watching CNN.
They need to totally go after Chechnya
Wrong. Putin’s actions are painting Russians as the bad guys.
“The Lord works in mysterious ways...”
Hilarious!
Great line to use with the Russian’s.
Having lived, worked, and traveled in Russia for nearly a decade, I have visited a number of ROC monasteries, and debated a number of ROC priests (including a few of its so called leaders). Many are agnostic at best with some fundamentally being atheists (it’s both weird and true, reflecting what the ROC has been since WWII). Other leaders and priests are rank gnostic’s and neo-pagans,who try to spread gnosticism, paganism, and more a religious but anti-God Eastern religion centered on the belief that man is God. Again, fits very well with Marxist state atheism.
In the end, the ROC is an iconic/symbolic piece of state jewelry, worn and run by the state.
“The Lord works in mysterious ways”, flies in the face of the near universal religious statists and their hedonism.
“But given the loose lips of the Biden Admin, they will admit it in the next few weeks.”
Yep. Probably Dimjo while speechifying to some group he is trying to impress. Something along the line of how he met Rosie the Riveter maybe.
It doesn’t sound like the ROC is much different from Protestant churches in Europe that are funded by the state. The churches are run by government bureaucrats, basically. Although Russia is more corrupt and the ROC leadership has cashed in by being Putin’s cronies. I feel sorry for the faithful people who go to church where most of the leaders aren’t even believers (add to that the corruption that must exist).
The media fueled by mis information is painting the Russians as the bad guys. We’re going all out to wipe them out.

Nothing is ever black and white with humans.
With the Cuban missile crisis the United States demonstrated that we have a right to eliminate threats near our borders. Hunter Biden’s laptop proved that the U.S. has been funding tens of “bio-research” labs in Ukraine, much like the Wuhan labs. Russia has a right to more security than that. However, the things that tip the scales for me are that the Russians are in someone else’s country killing them, and that I am an American. Period.
Methinks that oil thief’s are covering their tracks.

In 1997, 1998, and 1999, there were a number of large apartment buildings and shopping areas were bombed in Russia, in several cities, (including Moscow). Not saying the Chechen War was anything but brutal, but these specific bombings were reaply not Chechen, and were large scale, mass casualty, and barbaric, and then universally used as “PRETEXT” for Putin ordered, total elimination of men, women, and children in significant populated areas of Chechnya by the Russian Army. But at least twice, it was revealed the Russian Army response on Chechnya to the large scale appartment bombings, was ordered before the appartment bombings. (Big OOPS!)
And the Russian Army didn’t just target civilians, they tortured to death many.
A few of the individuals involved were shown to be FSB and not Chechen, and Putin was calling the shots even while Yeltsin was still the figurehead.
A number of FSB officers even remotely acquainted with those agents involbed in the revelations were assassinated, including their wives and children.
Not incidentally at all, if any ok ne bothers to look at the timeline, while all.of this was being conducted by Putins FSB in Moscow and Chechnya (which both rocketed him to total internal state power, and caused great fear wit h.c others), the FSB was rapping up elimination (by assassination) approximately 120 Ukrainian politicians and high ranking pre-1991 UA-CCP KGB officers who had been involved in breaking off the Warsaw Pact, and forcing the USSR to become the CIS.
Then (1997-1999) a number of journalists (including several high profile TV anchor type journalists), who were involved in the revelations against the FSB globally (including North America) were assassinated over the course of about two years.
By the time it was all over, Putin was formally appointed president by Yeltsin (no initial.election), and Putin quickly acted to formally ban non-state controlled media, and unfriendly press. Not a coincidence, it was at this time, “The Mosfow Times” and “Moscow Tribune” were temporarily closed, archives and databases seized, and leadership replaced. (Albeit, even those fought back a bit, and there have been cycles of the same since).
This FSB state activity was the same across the board. The Kremlin acted to eliminate all “WESTERN FRIENDLY” RU and CIS government heads.
Later, he exact same M.O. was observed in CIS member Georgia, then Syria and Libya (again), and now in former CIS member Ukraine.
I am not saying we know conclusively, but Putin has used FSB designed attacks as “PRETEXT” several times, to justify even larger and more decisive offensives, or as a way to deliberately motivate larger foreign attacks, which then must be eliminated by all means necessary.

As the “captured” puppet Obama/Clinton/Biden manchurian type fraud continuum goes forward, they may well claim responsibility for the junk in Russia, even to provide cover (as they already have) for their bosom buddy they have been doing lucrative and treasonous business with since the 1990’s.
Probably not. Vlad the Imploder update.
Maybe Biden’s CIA will take credit for those as well.
