I'm convinced now. Russia totally didn't attack the nuclear power plant....

Pentagon: Ukraine attacked Saki air base in Crimea. The U.S. Defense Department stated that Ukrainian forces bombarded the Russian-controlled Saki air base in Crimea on Aug. 9. Earlier, the Pentagon stated that weapons provided by the U.S. were not used in the attack.
I told y’all it wasn’t ATACMS or any other US weapon.

Key Takeaways
Russian forces conducted ground attacks east of Siversk and northeast and southeast of Bakhmut.
Russian forces conducted ground attacks southwest and northwest of Donetsk City.
Ukrainian forces destroyed the last functioning bridge Russian forces used to transport military equipment near the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant.
Ukrainian officials confirmed additional Ukrainian strikes on Russian ammunition depots and a logistics point in Kherson Oblast.
Russian regional officials may be misrepresenting percentage fill of newly formed volunteer battalions.
Ukrainian partisans are likely targeting Russian occupation officials and Ukrainian collaborators who are preparing for the sham annexation referenda to disrupt the Russian annexation of occupied Ukraine.

Only about 6 months behind. They should have started that before they ever invaded.

I'm talking about a Ukrainian soldier taking a Russian hostage who's rolled up in his sleeping bag. That is total balderdash.

I would not want to be one of those collaborators right now. Having to look over your shoulder to watch for the loyal Ukrainians coming after you and watching for the Russians who will be intimidating you into not backing out on them.

I expect the intensity of the fighting around Kherson to intensify in the coming days. There is no way that Russia can keep its troops supplied in Kherson using only ferries.

The Key Word is ATTEMPTING

I think the old Gum Cove ferry south of Vinton which crossed the GICWW to Shell's oilfield could transport more supplies.

Ukraine has cut every bridge to the city, and even the bridges far north of the city the Russians could use. It's looking like they'll actually attack the city.
With that said, the UA and Ukraine government have been talking up a "Kherson counter-offensive" since March. I'll believe it when I actually see it.

Without enough supplies, winter might make them surrender without much effort

UPDATE ON UKRAINE 13 August 2022
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
The two primary road bridges giving access to the pocket of Russian occupied territory on the west bank of the Dnipro in Kherson Oblast are now probably out of use for the purposes of substantial military resupply.
On 10 August 2022, Ukrainian precision strikes likely rendered the road crossing of the Dnipro River at Nova Kakhovka unusable for heavy military vehicles. In recent days, Russia has only succeeded in making superficial repairs to the damaged Antonivsky road bridge which likely remains structurally undermined. Last week, the main rail bridge near Kherson was also further damaged. Since late July 2022, Russia has been using a pontoon ferry near the railway bridge as its main military resupply route.
Even if Russia manages to make significant repairs to the bridges, they will remain a key vulnerability. Ground resupply for the several thousand Russian troops on the west bank is almost certainly reliant on just two pontoon ferry crossing points. With their supply chain constrained, the size of any stockpiles Russia has managed to establish on the west bank is likely to be a key factor in the force's endurance.

Russian equipment makes strikes on Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant seem as though coming from Nikopol
Saturday, 13 August 2022, 17:10
Russian occupying forces have placed several artillery systems on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). They are using these systems to fire on the power plant, while making it seem as though the shells come from Nikopol.
Source: Anonymous ZNPP engineer in an interview for BBC News Ukraine
Quote from the ZNPP engineer: "There is an area on the territory of the plant where heavy metal structures, such as new steam generators, are stored. That’s where the Russian artillery systems are currently placed; they are shelling the ZNPP while making it seem as though it is being hit from Nikopol.
I have personally seen the shelling being carried out from this particular area, I saw the projectile being launched and I saw it land. No more than three seconds passed between the launch and the strike. Each of the ZNPP workers saw and heard it. Each of them even knows where [the projectiles] are coming from and where they’re going."
more details from same engineer...
