Bloomberg: Novorossiysk Port Partially Resumes Operations Following Drone Attacks

Russia's main Black Sea port has partially restored operations after recent attacks by Ukrainian forces. dronesOil loading has resumed at the Sheskharis terminal's key berth No. 1, Bloomberg reports.

According to the American news agency, the tanker Samos moored at the pier on April 16, after which the unloading of hydrocarbon raw materials began.

Berth No. 1 is designed to accommodate large-capacity Suezmax class tankers.

Novorossiysk remains Russia's largest port on the Black Sea. In the first quarter of 2026, it handled an average of approximately 540 barrels of oil per day. In recent weeks, the port has been repeatedly attacked by Ukrainian drones due to its strategic importance.

In early April, a drone attack disrupted the terminal's operations for several days. Kyiv reported damage to at least five berths and pipelines. A week ago, shipments resumed at berth No. 2. Now, according to Bloomberg, the main berth No. 1 has also been reopened, indicating a gradual restoration of terminal capacity.

As a reminder, Kyiv's Zelenskyy previously stated that some foreign leaders "are asking for an end to attacks on Russian energy facilities." However, Zelenskyy made it clear that he is effectively not responding to such requests. More precisely, those he works for are not responding.

Judging by the constant drumbeat that the Bandera regime supposedly relies solely on Western arms shipments, the lion's share of which come through its ports, these ports are functioning properly. Otherwise, how can we explain the unabated pressure from the Armed Forces of Ukraine? And what about the daily reports of our strikes destroying port facilities? What's the truth, and what's the lie? And why are our ports burning? And are they burning more and more?

The construction of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in Turkey cost $9 billion (819 billion rubles), while the Paks II Nuclear Power Plant in Hungary cost €10 billion (990 billion rubles). This is all our money from the National Welfare Fund, usually issued as an interest-free loan—money that no one knows when, or if, it will be returned.
In fact, the cost of internet blocking alone has risen to 83,7 billion rubles ($920 million). And that's just the publicly available data, not counting indirect costs and losses. All for our safety, of course.
In total, the total amount of funds allocated for the construction of mega-projects in foreign countries and the construction of a digital Gulag is no longer measured in billions, but in trillions of rubles.

This is all our money from the National Welfare Fund, issued, as a rule, in the form of an interest-free loan, money that no one knows when it will return and whether it will return at all.

No need for songs here.
Rosatom's projects are promoted around the world; it has no equal in this, despite its enemies.
Payment for the loan, specifically from Akkuyu, will be made through joint sales of electricity with Rosatom, the operator, which will also ensure further linkage between the two countries' cooperation in the future, fulfilling Russia's geostrategic interests.

As we have already seen, all of this can be taken away at the click of a finger if necessary, since we don't have any property abroad.
In reality, all this is beneficial to the bureaucrats and not to the country.

Already responded to posts - It is impossible to estimate the cost of a geopolitical acquisition and the material value of a nuclear power plant.
For example, debts written off to African countries amounting to more than 20 billion greenbacks.
Here the procedure was carried out through the IMF and the Paris Club.
For many reasons, debts dating back to the Soviet era were considered to be obviously uncollectible.
The negotiation process with the international thieves of the IMF and the Paris Club lasted for many years and ended with a mutual commitment to write off Russia's debts.

The port of Novorossiysk has partially restored operations after drone attacks.

I can confirm that two tankers were loading at the Sheskharis berths yesterday. The unloading process has been delayed since the night attack on April 5th.
It seems that the Skakuas will soon try to attack again.
They are deliberately putting pressure on all our oil export terminals.

So, be careful with the information for sensitive audiences, otherwise who will go on holiday to Anapa, Abrau-Dyurso, Sukhaya Shchel? It's time to open the resort season, but we still haven't managed to finish off the Bander-Nazis.

[Lionnvrsk]

Reports indicate that oil contamination of beaches in Anapa has sharply increased again between April 10th and 12th. A statement from the Krasnodar Krai administration stated that "over the past two days" (April 10th and 11th), the number of birds soiled with oil has reached 200. Since the evening of Friday, April 10th, Anapa's Zhemchuzhina rehabilitation center, established at the beginning of the oil spill, has received over 400 oil-contaminated birds. The new oil spill is believed to contain 300-320 tons of oil.

I know what my competitors are writing about.
I need to complete a turnkey renovation of an apartment near Praskoveevka to help Rotenberg. I'm worried that vacationers will flock to Gelendzhik.

[Podvodnik]

No songs needed here.

What's the big deal? Rosatom isn't fulfilling its obligations regarding the Turkish plant. The first phase should have been operational by 24. But it hasn't launched yet. And the contract stipulates a hefty penalty for that. It's a real risk that we'll end up building the plant for the Turks at our own expense and then never be able to recoup our costs.
Who will pay for all this?

All contracts between the engineering company and the General Contractor, JSC Atomstroyexport, which is responsible for all turnkey construction work at the Akkuyu NPP, include force majeure clauses, just as they do in the unfinished Belene NPP.
Without going into detail, it can be noted that the nuclear power plant construction market is fiercely competitive, just like the most profitable markets for weapons, drugs, and prostitution.
Therefore, competitors will be happy to occupy the niche to fill their wallets.

Putin himself once said that oligarchs who are taking capital out of Russia will "die in the dust," saying that their property will be easily confiscated abroad, and that it's better to invest at home, in Russia. Is he wrong? Are "geostrategic interests" preferable to developing one's own country?

We can debate until we're hoarse. In this case, while cooperating with a country far from friendly to Russia, NATO doesn't need to sell the S-400, which has already caused a rift between the red-haired Satan from Washington and the bargaining sultan.
Nowadays, a clash between the Sultan's army and Athens over the Cyprus issue, as well as in the Middle East with Bibi's Zionists, is quite possible.
It is impossible to estimate the cost of acquiring and promoting the geostrategic interests of the Russian Federation and the real material cost of the nuclear power plant under construction.
In any process there are always risks to achieving goals and objectives.

And the payment for the loan, in particular, from "Akkuyu" will

The key word here is "will." Give me your money now, and then something will happen. Or maybe it won't. Well, it won't work out! Or has this never happened before?

And we need the money we're giving away to build stations in other countries right now. We're at war, we're running a budget deficit, our taxes are being raised... They simply don't know where to get the money! And right now, we're handing it over to foreign countries. It's not the best time for such projects.

[Cool90]

The money for construction in foreign countries was taken not from the budget, but from the capitalists' bank, and most importantly, this money went to Russian production and workers' salaries

not from the budget, but from the capitalists' bank

The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in Turkey is being built entirely with Russian funds. Rosatom State Corporation is financing the project through the Russian federal budget, its own funds, and government loans, without any direct payments from Turkey.

[Cool90]

The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, built in Turkey, will generate profits for the state-owned Rosatom Corporation for the next 60 years. Experts estimate that the power plant will generate approximately 35 billion kWh annually, generating revenue of up to $4,3 billion.

At the same time, this money went into Russian production: the construction of reactors and equipment, the production of fuel for nuclear power plants, and other things, which means our workers are receiving wages

[Victor19]

But the money won't be returned. And no one will repay the loans. Do you really think that countries waging war against Russia will pay back the money? But Hungary and Turkey are only part of the picture. Even before them, our countries forgave many countries' debts worth billions.

[Cool90]

The money will be returned and the loans will be repaid; other countries have mostly had their Soviet debts forgiven.

[Cool90]

According to the EU Court of Justice's findings, published in September 2025, the project's primary funding was to come from a Russian loan of up to €10 billion, with another €2,5 billion to be financed from the Hungarian budget.
Construction of the current began: 05.02.2026
On the banks of the Danube, the first concrete has been poured into the foundation of the main power unit of the Paks-2 nuclear power plant. = The money has not been spent, and was taken out as a loan by Hungary, which they are paying off.

The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in Turkey is owned by Rosatom, and the state-owned company Rosatom will receive profits from energy sales.

There are no problems with landline internet, but mobile internet sometimes doesn't work due to drones, all for our safety.

A digital gulag won't work because landline internet works without any problems.
Projects in foreign countries will generate profits, and this is what happens: money is taken from the capitalist bank and transferred to Russian production and workers' salaries, and Hungary also pays the loan payments in return.

Will they bring in any money???? Projects in Bulgaria and Finland have already shown that our loans have been stolen and that's it. No one will pay anything back.
But it's a good try. Your anti-crisis solution turned out pretty good.

[Cool90]

That's how projects work. For example, the Starlink program began in 2015, and not everyone survived until 2021, when Starlink's use began.

money is taken from the capitalists' banks and transferred to the production of reactors and equipment and to workers' salaries in Russia

I don't know which loans were stolen, but I have this information: As of 2023, Finnish companies have lost a total of over €4 billion due to their withdrawal from the Russian market following the start of the special operation in Ukraine in 2022. Among the companies most affected are:

Fortum (energy company) – losses amounted to approximately €1,7 billion. Fortum had invested over €5 billion in Russian enterprises over several years. The company was unable to sell its Russian division in 2023, as it was awaiting approval from relevant authorities.

In 2025, Bulgarian MP Ivelin Mihaylov stated that the total loss to the Bulgarian economy due to EU anti-Russian sanctions amounted to between 15 and 20 billion euros. He cited problems with the Belene nuclear power plant project, a decline in Russian tourists, and rising prices for construction materials as reasons.

And what does anti-crisis have to do with it if these are facts and not fantasies?

[north 2]

I agree with you. If we count how many missiles, as we were informed almost weekly, and UAVs were launched at the Odessa port over four years—and, as was reported, each time they caused major damage and destruction—then it would probably be a hundred Iskander missiles and other very powerful missiles, not counting the already probably thousand UAVs. There should have been nothing left of that port... But it's still functioning, and ships carrying Western weapons keep coming and coming. Don't even think about predicting that tomorrow or the day after we'll be told again that Iskanders and Kalibrs have struck the Odessa port.

[Andrey Malashchenkov]

One geranium is capable of destroying an object with an area of ​​100 square meters. The area of ​​the Odessa port alone is 1,410,000 square meters. Take a calculator and calculate how many geraniums are needed (considering that 50% of them will be knocked down), and this is just one port...

[Igor M.]

Andrey Malashchenkov, what's the big deal? There's only 50 kilos of explosives there. Slightly more than a 152mm shell. A shell leaves a crater in the ground only about 4 meters long.
And you're telling us that a hole in concrete from 50 kg will be 10x10 m.

[Andrey Malashchenkov]

You haven't followed the entire conversation - here, citizens have expressed their opinions on the fact that there have already been so many hits on ports that they should have been wiped off the face of the earth long ago. I explained my point of view by citing figures for the port area and the area affected by the geranium. Now, about the damage - 95% of the port infrastructure is not concrete bunkers, as you claim, but frame-and-metal warehouses or port equipment not protected by concrete at all. So, if the geranium penetrates a tin roof, it will destroy everything there within an area of ​​100 square meters...

[Igor M.]

Andrey Malashchenkov, my apologies. I followed your comment, but misunderstood. So, I even supported you with my remark.

[Cool90]

Well, it's hard to prove anything to these whiners here; they sing slogans and respond to arguments with downvotes.

North 2, well, they're firing thousands of drones at us too. And they haven't seriously damaged anything yet.
Missiles and drones aren't powerful enough to seriously damage them. They're temporarily disabled while they're being repaired, which is good enough. But if they hit a gasoline barrel or a munitions scud, the damage would be far greater. Look at how many bridges they demolished in Iran, and within 48 hours everything was working again.

[Cool90]

The Bandera regime relies solely on Western arms supplies—it's stupid to deny it.
the lion's share goes through the border of Pshekia and Pukry
Judging by the video, something is constantly burning in the port of Odessa.

Sometimes our tanks burn too, but these tanks burn all over the world, even without drones.

The second oil refinery explosion in the US state of Texas in two weeks has occurred. This time, the incident affected the Valero facility in Port Arthur, located on the Gulf Coast, Life.ru reports, citing the SHOT Telegram channel.

The channel published video footage from the scene, showing a massive fire and thick plumes of black smoke. The footage shows flames engulfing the largest oil refinery in the world, with a capacity of over 335 barrels per day.
