And Russia is keeping the home fires burning.... all too literally....
Siberian fires rage unchecked (twice as big as last year) because the army (usually used to fight fires there) is getting a beatdown in Ukraine....

And in Bryansk (halfway between Kyiv and Moskva....) some really flammable places (said to be oil sotrage facilities... and maybe some other stuff) are on fire...

Puts me in an Easter mood...
"What a day, what a day For an auto-da-fe!
What a sunny springtime sky!
What a day, what a day For an auto-da-fe!
It's a lovely day for drinking wine and watching Russia fry!"
(with apologies to messrs Bernstein and whoever wrote the lyrics [six are listed including Bernstein himself])
Extra prize for anyone who recognizes the quote...
