Officials announced the recruitment of volunteers for "service as part of a mobile fire group for the protection of a particularly important state facility (oil base, Ust-Luga) and countering drones," as quoted by the media announcement of the local government. As the channel suggests, it is probably about the defense of the facility on the territory of one of the largest oil product complexes of the Baltic Sea — the port of Ust-Luga.
A number of important facilities of the Russian oil industry are located there, including the Transneft-Baltika oil depot, the Ust-Luga Oil cargo terminal, the gas condensate processing terminal, and other industrial and logistics facilities. In particular, reservists are called to join the group of volunteers. They are offered to sign a contract for 3 years. The contract states that they must protect petroleum products from drone attacks on schedule 2 in 2 months.
One such announcement indicates that the salary of volunteers will be in the region of 15 to 30 thousand rubles. Russian authorities have begun recruiting volunteers to protect oil infrastructure facilities due to continued attacks by Ukrainian drones. It will be recalled that on October 1, military expert Dmytro Snegyrev explained in his Focus column how Ukrainian drones paralyze the export of fuel from Russian refineries.
