Belgorod False Flag - This is the dramatic moment Ukrainian attack helicopters allegedly blew up an oil depot INSIDE Russia as heroic pilots dared to hit back at Vladimir Putin.
A huge fireball has exploded at a Belgorod storage factory as defiant Ukrainian forces look set to battle across the border with the tyrant, with initial reports saying two have been injured.
Belgorod False Flag
Moscow accused Ukraine of being able to fly two Mi-24 helicopters across the border undetected before launching an air strike on the depot, causing a huge explosion as a huge plume of black smoke filled the sky.

Pictures have emerged from several sources showing the facility being blown up in the Freyda industrial area in the city of Belgorod, just 25 miles from the Ukrainian border.
Another clip appears to show two attack helicopters flying from Belgorod just meters above the ground as fire rages in the distance.
Belgorod region governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said the plant - operated by Russian energy giant Rosneft - was hit by a low-altitude Ukrainian attack helicopter around 5.50am local time.
A few hours after the oil depot was hit, another explosion was heard around 1pm local time amid unconfirmed claims that a shell had hit the village of Nikolskoye in the Belgorod region.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Friday that he could neither confirm nor deny Ukraine's alleged involvement in the strike on the fuel depot.
Asked about the attack at a briefing in Poland, Kuleba said: "I cannot confirm or deny the claim that Ukraine is involved, only because I do not have all the military information."
Gladkov said: "There are injuries. Two people. They are workers of the oil center. They received first aid and there is no danger to their lives.
"We are starting to relocate residents of Pochtovaya, Makarenko and Konstantin Zaslonov streets to a safer place."

Firefighters battled to contain the inferno as some areas of the city were evacuated as black smoke billowed into the air.
Speaking to reporters on a conference call, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin had been informed of the incident.
"Of course, this cannot be considered as creating comfortable conditions for continuing the negotiations," said Peskov, adding that everything is being done to prevent interruptions in fuel supplies to the city.
After Kuleba refused to confirm or deny Ukrainian involvement, Defense Ministry spokesman Oleksandr Motuzyanik declined to comment directly on the strike.

He told a briefing: "Ukraine is currently conducting a defensive campaign against Russian aggression on Ukrainian territory, and this does not mean that Ukraine is responsible for every disaster on Russian territory.
It comes amid Western claims that Russia aims to carry out "false flag" attacks to be blamed on Ukraine as justification for continuing the war.
Two days earlier, Russia said Ukrainian forces fired a missile at an ammunition depot about 12 miles from the border, also in Belgorod Oblast.

If the attacks on Russian territory are confirmed as Ukraine, it would mark a significant increase in the war - and a change in tactics from Kyiv.
Regarding the earlier attack, Gladkov claimed: “Six cases of missiles were registered. The most important thing is that there are no injuries."
It comes as Putin's offensive continues to slow, with more than 17,000 Russian soldiers killed since Putin ordered his butchers to attack on February 24, according to Ukrainian officials.
Russian forces have also lost thousands of vehicles in the war in Ukraine, including around 600 tanks and over 1,700 other armored vehicles.
