⛽️ The "Gasoline Cloud" Delusion Because Russia cannot deliver gasoline to the occupied Ukrainian territories, as Ukraine controls all the routes, Russian general and deputy Gurulyov proposed an idea of how to bypass this. A direct quote: "We have technologies, still Soviet ones. We can heat and evaporate several train cars of gasoline, say, near Anapa, and form a gasoline cloud from it, and then direct it to Crimea with special fans, where we will make it rain. The technology was already tested in 1986—just get your basins ready!"
