Chemical engineer here with 35 years in oil and gas E&P and refineries (including 14 in 🇷🇺) and have discussed this several times on @Volya4UA as “de-rating” of these refineries through quick repairs. And the storage tanks pointed out here are the least of 🇷🇺 worries. /1

You can tell much about a man’s insecurities by the things he holds in contempt.
Zelenskyy is a war leader and a humble, genuine hero. I can see why a coddled 5x Vietnam draft dodger might feel insecure about him.
Had the good fortune to see the Merchant of Venice 1936 today. Powerful production and great cast 👏
