I wonder how many Ukrainian civilians have died today. A lot, I think.

Looking at Oleshky local chats right now reminds me of Mariupol chats during the darkest days of the blockade.

Hundreds of messages pleading for help to rescue their families who are stuck on sinking rooftops.

Okay so where? Do you know a hydro-engineer? I’m sure you wouldn’t share classified intelligence here.

Don't use Twitter or reddit. No the video I saw was about a hundred feet from the breech, and was clearly a mortar round or small artillery round. You could hear it come in. Explosion was minimal, mainly just a vertical splash

I’m genuinely curious what the right number is.

The post that I shared on the previous page quoted the director of Ukraine's state hydroelectric agency.

Again, this was the quote that I posted:

quote:

We will see the peak tomorrow morning. Tomorrow it will stabilize, and on the third or fourth day it will begin to subside. We think that within 10 days all the water will have already gone to the Black Sea, and when the reservoir is empty, of course, the channel of the Dnieper to the Black Sea will also be with a small amount of water. There will be practically no water there at all if we block the DniproHES.


So, that's where the 10 days comes from.

The peninsular territories opposite the villages of Krynka and Korsunka essentially ceased to exist after the flood.

Very interesting.

NBC News:

Drone attack in Moscow may have targeted homes of Russian intelligence officials, U.S. officials say

quote:

A drone attack in Moscow last week appeared to target the homes of Russian intelligence officers, the latest salvo in a psychological campaign against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime over its invasion of Ukraine, multiple sources familiar with the strikes said.

The drone assault Tuesday was the first on a residential area in the capital since Russian forces launched an invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022.

A senior U.S. official and a congressional staffer with knowledge of the matter said the drone strikes appeared aimed at what were believed to be the Moscow residences of Russian intelligence officers.

At least one of the apartment buildings hit in the drone strikes has ties to Russia’s SVR, the Foreign Intelligence Service, according to Strider Technologies, a Utah-based strategic intelligence startup that uses open-source data.

According to the Strider Global Intelligence team, the building was owned by a Russian state budgetary organization, which has held contracts with a military unit known to be a cover for the Foreign Intelligence Service.

It was not clear whether any SVR officer’s home was damaged or whether any Russian intelligence personnel were injured.

“This was not some random attack on a wealthy suburb,” said Eric Levesque, the chief operating officer and a co-founder of Strider Technologies. “The strike gets to the heart of the psychological warfare elements of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which for the first time is reaching Moscow neighborhoods."

It is shot from the turbine complex on the Russian side of the dam.

1) Marked the sluice cranes with circles and the rail line (right/top) crane line (middle) and roadway (left/bottom)





2) Not fake in as much as it was from November last year for that video, I posted one earlier from the guardian showing the same footage when it was originally shared by another poster.

Second link I provided is telegram not reddit.


If it wasn't either of the ones I provided then provide a link to the source of your claim please. If you won't then I'll end the discussion there as this amounts to noise rather than any desire to exchange information to clarify events.

Edit: Clarity

Now, he makes the point that I made earlier. There was no real tactical advantage to Russia's blowing the dam. If they wanted to flood Ukrainian positions on the islands in the Dnipro delta and their little area on the other side of the Dnipro, they could have simply opened all the floodgates, because the water level was at a 30-year high. They HAD the control station. There was no need to blow the dam, which is, again, part of why I personally think that failure is more likely.



The Soviets blew a hole in the damn in 1941 to slow the Germans. Rebuilt a decade later. If anything, we have seen mostly WWII tactics from Russia.

If you have ever read any Russian history, they have never had Western thinking or Western morals as part of their culture, never.
