Russia is preparing for drone strikes on a nuclear test site located 2,500 km from Ukraine — media:

The Russians have already equipped similar protection against drones at the Olenya airbase.

The Russian authorities have begun to increase security at the largest nuclear test site on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Arkhangelsk region, which is located more than 2,500 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, The Barents Observer reports .

It is noted that satellite images from Google Earth from August 14 show how three rows of fuel tanks supplying the settlement of Severny are now covered with blue metal mesh. These meshes are designed to prevent drones from exploding on the tanks and thus preventing the fuel itself from igniting.

Chișinău should prepare for a possible Transnistrian capitulation, which could happen by the new year, as the separatist regime struggles after Russia’s failed attempts to influence Moldovan politics.

For the past five days, Transnistria has been in a strict gas-saving regime, with industry halted and residents left without heating or hot water, leaving the separatist leaders with no viable options except either surrendering or following a last Kremlin order to destabilize the region.

Like in communist times: Russian gas stations introduce further restrictions

Restrictions on gasoline sales, which have already been introduced in the annexed Crimea and Chelyabinsk Oblast, have also affected Tyumen region (western Siberia). The N-1 gas station chain in Tyumen has introduced a restriction on fuel sales per customer - no more than 30 liters of 92 or 95 gasoline at a time.

The problem has also arisen in the Sverdlovsk region. According to residents of the region, Lukoil gas stations have stopped selling fuel in canisters, others have no gasoline left, only diesel fuel remains, and some are not selling more than 30 liters per car.
