Russian Military Mines Crimean Titan Enterprise, Threatening Ecological Disaster and Evacuations

If in the case of the hydroelectric power station, the threat was primarily associated with flooding below the dam, as well as with drought above it, then in the event of a Titan explosion, one should also be prepared for chemical threats. About what the situation is today and what it is worth preparing for – in the material 24 channels.

The Russians are mining the “Crimean Titan”

The units of the engineering troops of the Russian occupation army have been continuing to mine the shops of the Crimean Titan enterprise for several days. This was reported in the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

We are talking about those shops that are still working. In addition, the occupiers are planting explosives in the factory and adjacent areas.

A potential terrorist attack on the “Crimean Titan” will be a big man-made disaster. Indeed, on the refrigeration equipment of “Crimean Titan” about 200 tons of technological ammonia are used.

The Ukrainian-Crimean Tatar partisan movement “Atesh” also confirmed the information about the mining of the enterprise.

“Ammonia was brought to the Titan. Now it is in tanks on the railway tracks. Equipment is being actively removed from the plant towards the Crimea,” the Crimean partisans said.

What are the potential threats

Candidate of Chemical Sciences Gleb Repich during the stream 24 channels said that the enterprise “Crimean Titan” is engaged in the processing of titanium ore. It is a very resistant metal that must be broken down to produce titanium dioxide.

In order to destroy this ore, sulfate acid is used there. In large quantities. This is a super corrosive substance, very dangerous. It’s not toxic, but it’s super caustic and dissolves anything it hits,
Gleb Repich explained.

He notes that sulfate acid is not a volatile substance. They say that in the event of an undermining of the “Crimean Titan” one can not be afraid of “a huge toxic cloud that will kill everything on the spot.”

“The consequences will not, for example, be the same as at enterprises producing chlorine. Here the consequences will really be catastrophic. After all, chlorine is a gas. .

The specialist is convinced that the consequences of a possible terrorist attack on the Crimean Titan will be much easier for people than from a chlorine-producing enterprise. However, The consequences for the environment will be enormous.

First, this acid will spill around the station. Which will make this land unusable for anything at all. Somehow to recultivate it later, to do something is a lot of money and time,
Gleb Repich said.

There is another point that the Ukrainians have already felt. We are talking about a situation where sulphate acid began to evaporate due to the dried-up settling ponds of the plant. Then the consequences of these fumes were felt by the inhabitants of nearby territories.

“That is, you see – it can fall in the form of acid precipitation. This is very bad. After all, this is an environmental effect and these fumes with the wind can spread hundreds of kilometers,” the scientist explained.

How to protect yourself from a possible threat

The candidate of chemical sciences advises people living near the Crimean Titan plant to prepare for evacuation. After all, if a terrorist attack occurs at the enterprise, then you should be ready to quickly evacuate.

The same advice – in any case, collect an alarming suitcase. And in general, I would advise people living near large chemical enterprises, not only Crimean Titan, to have a gas mask,
advised Gleb Repich.

He stressed that in the event that a rocket or something hits such an enterprise, the presence of a gas mask will obviously not be superfluous.

The Russians are already evacuating

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, in the occupied Armyansk in the north of the Crimean peninsula, the Russians are preparing for the evacuation of both representatives of the occupation administration and the local population.

Due to the terrorist act committed by the enemy at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and, as a result, the lack of water in the North Crimean Canal, production processes at the Crimean Titan plant in Armyansk have been disrupted to a critical level,
scouts say.

The Russians consider it impossible to resume work at least at the minimum proper regime. So in the temporarily occupied Armyansk they are discussing the probable stop of the “Crimean Titan”. All this is happening against the backdrop of subsequent mining operations on the territory of the enterprise.

But the Russians are mining not only the Crimean Titan. Member of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people Eskender Bariev on air 24 channels told that the same all fields in the Krasnoperekopsky district were mined.

“As far as I know, now the plant is working and they are using it for the needs of the Russian army. Therefore, I can’t say whether they mined the plant itself, but it is known that the Russians replaced the same sedimentation tanks. After all, they are shallow and their crossing would not be a problem for the Forces defense of Ukraine,” said Eskender Bariev.

Partisans from the “Atesh” movement also confirmed that in Armyansk the occupation administration is compiling lists of state employees and their families. They can be evacuated from the city.

They are so afraid of the Ukrainian offensive that they are ready for another ecocide to prevent it. They won’t be able to do anything.
– assured the Crimean partisans.

Do Crimeans know reliable information

Gleb Repich, Candidate of Chemical Sciences, emphasized that the evacuation council would be relevant in territories where the government functions normally. Like, the occupiers, even in the event of a terrorist attack on the “Crimean Titan” may not report anything to the local population.

We have already seen a similar case on the left bank of the Kherson region. When, after the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, people in the occupied part of the region were left alone with the consequences of this tragedy.

Eskender Bariev noted that Crimeans who support Ukraine are trying to watch Ukrainian television. This way they get the latest information.

They also ask us if we can confirm certain information to them. They also share some information with us, if they have such,
– stressed a member of the Mejlis.

However, a significant part of the people now living on the Crimean peninsula watch Russian television. So all the information comes to them distorted.
