#1 Vodka and laziness are much more likely causes than Ukrainian saboteurs. For one, those saboteurs would need INCREDIBLE infiltration skills to get all the way to the Sakhalin coal site.

Actually the Russians are during the work for them:

The Russians have been forcing Ukrainian refugees to take jobs in Sakhalin Island and other areas that were depopulated after the Cold War.

There are probably a number of disgruntled Ukrainians working on the island now.

#7 Is the rate of industrial fires higher than normal, or are we just hearing about them more because of the extra attention to Russia?
