A regional emergency was declared in Russia's Tuapse district on Tuesday after a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire at the local oil refinery.

◾Kiev loses certain territories in the special military operation zone every day.
◾The Kiev regime and its backers have turned to terrorism because they cannot stop Russian forces.
◾Kiev's reliance on terrorist attacks against Russia will not change the situation.
◾Kiev increasingly targets civilian infrastructure.
◾People in the new regions of Russia have strong character and cannot be intimidated by threats from the Kiev regime.
◾Ukraine itself holds no elections citing martial law, while attempting to disrupt elections in Russia.

ℹ Russia will hold parliamentary (State Duma), regional leadership, and legislative assembly elections on September 20, 2026.
