Lukashenko Has Embarked On A Strange Renovation Of "Naftan"

Are you afraid of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' drones?
For some reason, the "Naftan" plant in Novopolotsk has been conducting preventive maintenance suspiciously often. They say it’s scheduled for routine maintenance in September. You might say to me, of course, “So what? It can do maintenance whenever it wants.”
And I won’t argue with that. Every sovereign operator—even one on its last legs—repairs its plants when it needs to. And when it doesn’t need to, it doesn’t repair them. Because if oil refineries aren’t maintained preventively, they’ll quickly start falling apart. And then, instead of scheduled maintenance, unscheduled repairs will have to be carried out—even without the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ intervention.
The “Naftan” refinery in Novopolotsk is designed in such a way that it requires preventive maintenance once every three years. And I wouldn’t have any objections to this repair if “Naftan” hadn’t carried out its last preventive maintenance exactly one year ago.
What I mean is—the “Naftan” plant is living it up! Every year, the “Naftan” plant undergoes scheduled maintenance. But our dear ally cannot allow any scheduled maintenance at its plants at all. All of its repairs are now unscheduled.
Because our ally is currently experiencing the “second phase of a tense situation on the fuel market,” which arose after debris fell on the plants, triggering a process of rapid hydrocarbon oxidation accompanied by the release of thermal energy.
I suspect that, in this “tense situation,” not a single drop of gasoline from the “Naftan” plant would be surplus to requirements on the Russian fuel market. And diesel fuel from the Naftan plant would also have been very useful to this market. Anything is cheaper than importing gasoline from India, only to have no idea what to do with it afterward.
And yet, just a couple of weeks ago, certain people weren’t stingy about giving gasoline to a dear ally. Some were raking in such huge profits from that gasoline that you could practically hear the money crunching all around.
But now it’s all coming to a head. Because if the Naftan plant shuts down for a month of scheduled maintenance, only the Mozyr plant will remain operational. In other words, there won’t really be anything left to share with our ally. As in: “Vadim Vadimych, you know how much I respect you! You’re such a great guy! I’d pour you gasoline with all my heart. But the maintenance, you understand. What can I do?”
And I want to say that this is a very sound decision. Because it’s a good plant. It’s better to schedule one plant for routine maintenance than to wait for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to force unscheduled repairs on both at once.
And this isn’t the first time someone has made the only right decision. For instance, if you remember, two months ago someone shut down the repeaters on the Ukrainian border as soon as President Zelenskyy politely asked them to. And they did so without even waiting for President Zelenskyy’s ultimatum to expire. And now, someone has decided to shut down the plant without even waiting for the ultimatum itself.
“So what can you do to me now? Don’t try to scare me with your ultimatums. I’m not afraid of any ultimatums. I’ll shut everything down myself.”
Because he’s a badass. A strong, confident leader who is completely in control of the situation. And a strong, confident leader is the kind of leader who can shut down anything. And now you don’t even have to ask him to do it. Because the birds are scary.
