The President received a report from the Emergencies Minister on fire situation in Tuapse following Ukrainian drone strikes

April 28, 2026

Vladimir Putin received a telephone report from Minister of Civil Defence, Emergencies and Natural Disaster Relief Alexander Kurenkov on new fires at the oil refinery in Tuapse following Ukrainian drone strikes.

In accordance with Presidential instructions, in the next few hours, Alexander Kurenkov will head off to Tuapse to personally oversee firefighting operations at the affected oil refinery and the elimination of consequences of the incident.

Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov emphasised that the Kiev regime has once again targeted oil infrastructure that stores oil for export operations, namely, to honour export contracts. Consequently, through these actions, the Kiev regime is exacerbating the existing oil deficit and provoking further destabilisation in global energy markets, which already face significant difficulties owing to the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.
