Putin recognizes the oil map for the first time
Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged for the first time that Russia is building 'some oil reserves' during a meeting focused on energy issues. He emphasized the need to strengthen domestic oil production and increase output. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces continued their attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, detonating an oil purification plant in the southern Krasnodar region, which produces around four million tons of crude oil annually. The Krasnodar region is one of Russia's largest oil-producing areas located near the Black Sea. On Tuesday, Ukrainian forces launched large-scale air strikes on Sevastopol, the largest city on Crimea, including attacks on oil facilities. In response, Russia, which annexed Crimea in 2014, has restricted fuel sales to the public to counteract the energy shortages. According to reports, these attacks have had no impact on the front line. During an interview with a Russian state television station, Putin described the Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure as an attempt to destabilize Russian society. He stated that Ukraine's goal was to halt the deployment of Russian military units to improve their position in arms control talks.

Mountain sunshine
The article discusses the phenomenon known as 'Bergsonne,' which refers to the sun appearing above the mountain peaks despite being below the horizon at ground level. This optical illusion occurs due to atmospheric refraction, bending light rays as they pass through different layers of air. The effect is more pronounced during colder months when the atmosphere is drier and clearer. Bergsonne is often observed in alpine regions like Austria, where high elevations and clear skies create ideal conditions for this natural spectacle. It has become a popular subject for photographers and nature enthusiasts who seek to capture the unique visual experience.
