1. Easter egg.

2. Is this still one of Russias tank building facilities?

3. Latest reports say an area of 4000 square metres now ablaze.

4. Very nice. I hope the US isn’t going to step in to tell Ukrainians to wrap this up.

5. Russia is an ecological nightmare. In fact a nightmare of a country full stop.

6. I wonder how a factory that produces heavy machines — and so presumably is full of big machine tools and some sort of assembly line — can burn like this. I think it’s a general rule that the black smoke we see here is the result of the incomplete combustion of some sort of petroleum product. So why the hell would a factory have huge stores of diesel or whatever on-site?

7. Seems like russians can’t stop smoking in fire hazard areas… /s

8. Burn da mudder fukkin orcs 🔥

9. Good.

10. The excessive fumes are choking out the flames
