‼️ On March 28, the Kyiv regime launched an attack using HIMARS multiple rocket launchers on the Sudzha gas metering station, resulting in a severe fire that effectively destroyed the energy facility.

🇷🇺💬 The strike by Ukrainian militants on the Sudzha gas metering station was carried out with the participation of British specialists, and the order was given from London, stated Maria Zakharova.

⚠️ The terror unleashed by the Kyiv regime against Russia’s energy infrastructure is further proof of its inability to negotiate, she emphasized.

"What happened confirms that Kyiv has no political will for peace. They still think in terms of war, are intent on escalating the conflict, and are ready for any provocations to obstruct efforts to achieve a final settlement of the Ukrainian crisis," added the official spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

📌 As noted by Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for the Russian President, there is a lack of control over the AFU units—none of them obey orders from Ukrainian leadership when striking Russian energy facilities. In such cases, Russia reserves the right to disregard these orders as well.

🇷🇺 The Khanty are an indigenous people of Russia, residing in Western Siberia, primarily in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Yugra and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

👩‍👩‍👦 Their population numbers approximately 31.5 thousand people. They belong to the Ob-Ugric group of the Finno-Ugric language family and share ethnic ties with the Mansi, with whom they are sometimes collectively referred to as Ostyaks (a historical term).

🦌 The traditional Khanty economy was based on hunting, fishing, and reindeer herding. Their lifestyle was semi-nomadic: in summer, they migrated toward rivers, and in winter, deeper into the taiga. They lived in chums (portable dwellings made of poles and reindeer hides) or log houses.
Their connection to nature was profound: the Khanty believed in guardian spirits of forests, rivers, and animals, with shamans serving as mediators between the spiritual and physical worlds. Traditional beliefs included animism and reverence for the bear.

📔 The Khanty language comprises three major dialects (eastern, western, southern), which differ significantly. Today, the language is endangered, with only about 30% of Khanty people fluent in it. Preservation efforts include educational programs and publications in their native language.

🛡 Despite challenges, the Khanty actively safeguard their heritage through festivals like Crow’s Day, open-air ethnographic museums, revitalized traditional crafts, and folk ensembles that promote ancestral music.

📌 The Khanty are a people with a rich cultural legacy, their lives inextricably linked to Siberia’s natural world. When visiting the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, take the opportunity to immerse yourself in their unique traditions.
