Western and Ukrainian outlets circulated a report, likely false, of a Russian general allegedly threatening to destroy Europe’s largest nuclear facility, the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), if Russia could not hold the plant.

This likely misreporting distracts from the very real risks of Russia’s militarization of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, which may include mining the plant and almost certainly includes the unsafe storage of military armaments near nuclear reactors and nuclear waste storage facilities

Key Takeaways
Reporting of a likely falsified Russian statement distracts from the real risks of a Russian-caused nuclear disaster at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Russian forces continue to conduct attacks from and store military equipment near the plant’s nuclear reactors, likely to play upon Western fears of a nuclear disaster and degrade Western will to provide additional military support to Ukraine.
Russian forces conducted ground attacks northwest of Slovyansk and northeast and southeast of Bakhmut.
Russian forces continued ground attacks northwest and southwest of Donetsk City.
Russian officials postponed reopening the Antonivskyi Bridge after a Ukrainian strike damaged the bridge and nearby construction equipment.
Russian forces are deploying less-professional occupation forces and increasing pressure on Ukrainian populations in occupied areas.

Which means lack of discipline and likely war crimes resulting. It's not like the regular Russian military has much discipline to begin with

Zelensky could stub his toe walking to the coffee pot in the morning and you’d call it a Russian war crime

I’m sure it’s not that hard. Lots of NATO countries already use MiGs. Some of those countries have probably already mounted HARMs on their jets. If not, I’m sure Raytheon or whoever makes the missile has researched and developed in an attempt to sell the missile to those countries by now.
Israel modified most of the NATO Migs to use NATO weapons back in the 2000s.

Naw, we don’t have to make up Russian war crimes. There are plenty of real ones.

Not really. People like to make stuff up to bolster their point.
I see pro Russian guys sensationalize things right here in this thread every day.

UPDATE ON UKRAINE 9 August 2022
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
Over the weekend, Russia has continued to focus efforts on reinforcing defences in southern
Ukraine. Despite the shift in effort, Russia has maintained attacks on Ukrainian positions in Donetsk oblast.
Over the last 30 days, Russia's assault towards the town of Bakhmut has been its most
successful axis in the Donbas; however, Russia has only managed to advance about 10km during this time.
In other Donbas sectors where Russia was attempting to break through, its forces have not gained more than 3km during this 30 day period; almost certainly significantly less than planned. Despite its continued heavy use of artillery in these areas, Russia has not been able to generate capable combat infantry in sufficient numbers to secure more substantial advances.

Certainly supports the reports that the Russian military is punched out and no longer has enough combat strength to advance. I guess the question now is whether Ukraine’s military is also punched out.

Pentagon confirms Ukraine has high tech HARM missiles; 17 Kremlin anti-air systems reportedly hit
A senior White House official on Monday confirmed recent reports Ukraine’s air force is now operating high tech HARM anti-radar missiles, a potentially game-changing weapon responsible for the claimed destruction of as many as 17 Russian army anti-aircraft systems over the last 72 hours.
Colin Kahl, the U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, told Washington reporters the US first sent Ukraine an unspecified number of AGM-88 High-speed Anti-Radiation Missiles (HARM) as part of a recent arms shipment. It was the first official acknowledgement the advanced US weapon was in use in combat in Ukraine.
“In recent military aid packages, we have included a number of anti-radar missiles that can be fired from Ukrainian aircraft and can affect Russian radars and other things,” Colin Kahl said during a press briefing on Monday.
Kahl said that the US and allies have also helped Ukraine get spare parts and other parts to get more Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jets into the sky, but , he did not state the type of aircraft Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) used to launch the HARM.
In the early days of the war the Kremlin touted the S-300 anti-aircraft system (NATO designation SA-10 Grumble) as a key component of Russia’s purported massive technological superiority over Ukraine’s armed forces.
The UAF used long-range ground-launched rockets, conventional artillery and even high-risk behind-the-lines infantry raids past attempts to hit RF air defense systems like S-300. The distance at which the best Russian Federation air defense systems have been positioned behind Russian lines – typically 50-70 kilometers – has often placed Russia’s top-tier S-300 systems well out of the range of Ukrainian weapons.
Manufactured by Raytheon and Northrop Grumman, the HARM missile has a listed range of 185 km, making by a substantial margin far the longest-range weapon known to have been transferred by the US to Ukraine thus far in the war.
Depending on the type, a single HARM missile reportedly costs between $280,000 and $850,000. HARM missiles used by US and other air forces badly damaged ground-based air defenses in wars in Yugoslavia and Iraq, and were a key contributor to near-total allied air dominance in both conflicts.

Dude, you just don't get it. It is a fact the most war crimes are committed by undisciplined troop. that is the entire point.
Simple things seem to fly right over you head.

Exactly. According to this thread the only thing that Russian bombs can hit are orphanages and schools and not a single Ukrainian soldier has even sniffed death. Ukrainian bombs and missiles never miss and have managed to kill every Russian tank and ammunition dump in the county.
Yet somehow the Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson that supposedly started a month ago hasn’t made any progress and the Russian army is still advancing in East

You have passed being absurd. We know thousands of Ukranians have fought and died for their country.
You pretend to be impartial, but you like the others are part of the red brigade here that provides excuses for Russia to wreck and kill their neighbors. You and the others get unhinged when any good Ukranian news is reported just as you are now.
