A race for the prize of the governor's newspaper was held in Perm - oil facilities have been burning in the city for the fourth day

On May 1, a sports relay race was held in Perm for the prize of the Zvezda newspaper. This was announced by the mayor of the city Eduard Sosnin.

“Teams of enterprises and factories traditionally took the start line: the relay combined work and sports, history and today,” he wrote.

Judging by the official's footage, teenagers, state employees and pensioners took part in the event. Perm 36.6 notes that the Zvezda newspaper is part of a media holding controlled by the governor.

The fire at oil facilities caused by Ukrainian strikes cannot be extinguished for the fourth day, notes Perm 36.6. Residents are asked not to go outside and keep their windows closed. The governor reported the day before on his trip to the fire site. According to him, everything is under control, but he did not provide any specifics. The sky over the city is still filled with black smoke.
