IFW - Russians deliberately destroy Kakhovka dam, evidence shows
10.06.2023 17:00
https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3721032-ifw-russians-deliberately-destroy-kakhovka-dam-evidence-shows.html

Several independent sources reported additional evidence that an internal explosion likely destroyed the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (KHPP) dam on June 6.

According to the Institute for the Study of War, Ukrinform reports:

Norwegian seismic monitoring center NORSAR reported that seismic data indicates that an explosion occurred on June 6 at 2:54am local time, about the same time as the collapse of the KHPP dam.

NORSAR seismologist Volker Oye stated that seismic data indicated a pulse of energy that was “typical of an explosion.”

The New York Times reported that a senior White House official stated that U.S. spy satellites equipped with infrared sensors detected an explosion at the KHPP dam before it collapsed.

The Wall Street Journal reported that multiple engineers and munitions experts assessed that an explosive blast likely detonated at a specific point or multiple points of weakness, which destroyed the KHPP dam.

The preponderance of evidence suggests that a deliberate explosion damaged the KHPP dam, the report reads.

“ISW continues to assess that the balance of evidence, reasoning, and rhetoric suggests that the Russians deliberately damaged the dam,” ISW concludes.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on the night of June 6, Russian forces blew up the Kakhovka HPP dam. The plant cannot be restored, according to the operator. In Kherson region, a rescue and evacuation operation is underway to get the people out of the flooded areas. The situation is especially difficult in the temporarily occupied territories, where the invaders left people without any help.

Oh Boy. That is going to make the Putin Fan Club angry.

Russia controlled the dam.
Russia talked about destroying the dam.
Russia talked about destroying other dams.
Russia admitted they mined the dam.
Ukraine does not have the weapons to destroy a dam designed to survive a nuclear strike like all Russian built dams.

Russian Logic: Ukraine destroyed the dam because, reasons.

Thanks for citing these excellent sources.

Kim Dotcom is ESPECIALLY trustworthy.

You can tell, because the Banana Republic of America seized his assets and is trying to extradite him from New Zealand for Banana Republic "justice" - similar to the railroading that President Trump is getting from the illegitimate Biden regime.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine released information on the losses of the Russian occupiers on June 10, 2023.

The statement reads: “The enemy continues to suffer heavy losses, which it tries to hide. Thus, in the temporarily occupied Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia region, the occupiers closed the territory in the western part of the city around the city morgue.

Up to ten ambulances and several refrigerated trucks were observed on the territory of the morgue itself. The movement of ambulances in the northern direction to the contact line continues.”

On the morning of 10 June, several more Ukrainian missiles struck the Arabatska Strelka spit in Kherson region, temporarily occupied by the Russian army.

The mayor of occupied Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, said this on Telegram, Censor.NET reports.

“The holiday season in Arabatka is so hot that a few rockets decided to join the racists at the squeezed-out recreation centre this morning. For some reason, the invaders didn’t like the company, so now convoys of cars with Russians and local collaborators are urgently leaving for the still-occupied Crimea. What’s the matter, aswabadites? The hot climate doesn’t suit you? I’m sure it will soon become too hot for you in Crimea, too,” the message reads.

The traitor Vladimir Saldo also reported about new night strikes on his Telegram channel.

According to him, the strikes were carried out with Storm Shadow missiles around 5am on 10 June. Saldo complains that the Positive Hotel in Zalizny Port was destroyed.

Of course not. If what she posted was only 1/4 true Russia would have been defeated months ago. I ignore the posts because they are all propaganda. We get enough of that from our media.

VIDEO WITH SUMMARIZED COMMENTARY:

⚠️ Watch RFU in 18+ languages: https://www.youtube.com/@RFU/channels

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and sixty ninth day of the war.

Day 472: Jun 10

Today there is a lot of news from the Velyka Novosilka direction.

Here, after a short regrouping, Ukrainians ramped up the intensity of their attacks in order to leverage newly captured positions and generate new gains. One of the main axes of advance became the hills west of the river. If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Ukrainians gained a foothold right above the settlements, and as I told you last time, even if Russian claims were true and they indeed recaptured the settlements, they would not stay there for long due to the overwhelming fire from the hills. And this is exactly what happened.

Today Russian sources confirmed that they decided to retreat from Neskuchne to more reliable positions. Ukrainian sources also posted drone footage that confirms that Russians abandoned their positions around Storozheve as well. Some non-mainstream Russian sources claimed that the front line collapsed under the pressure of the second wave of Ukrainian attacks all the way to Makarivka.

But this is just the beginning because Ukrainians also launched a massive attack from Zolota Nyva. Russian sources reported that, at first, Ukrainians launched a small attack on Novodonetske to fix Russians forces and protect the flanks while almost immediately launching a powerful attack towards Urozhaine. Even the most prominent Russian sources confirm that Ukrainians very quickly cleared the tree lines, and the fighting is taking place right in front of the settlement.

As you can quickly notice, this attack completely cut off Russian forces in Blahodatne, and Russian sources confirmed that Russian forces retreated to avoid being taken into a pocket, which means that Ukrainians secured Blahodatne without a single shot being fired.

There are also at least 3 more lines of attack along the western section of the front line, namely toward Rivnopil, Novodarivka, and Levadne. The freshest reports indicate that Ukrainians secured new tree lines in front of the settlements, however, the assault units are reportedly small, so for now, these are just supporting attacks. Overall, in 1 week of storming operations around Veluka Novosilka, Ukrainians managed to liberate around 95 sq km of the ground.

When it comes to the Kherson region, in the aftermath of the destruction of the Kakhovska Hydroelectric Power Plant dam, 600 sq km of the ground appeared under water. This means that the topography of the region has completely changed. 90% of Oleshly and Hola Prystan, which are the main Russian strongholds where they were hiding most of their equipment, were submerged under the water.

The flooding has also destroyed many Russian first-line field fortifications that the Russian military intended to use to defend against Ukrainian attacks. Rapid flooding has forced Russian personnel to evacuate as fast as possible. Recently released footage shows how Russians are using boats from the local tourist center. Unfortunately for Russians, there were only blue and yellow boats left.

Recent footage also shows that Russians had to use their transport helicopters to evacuate from the Kinburn Spit because the flooding had reportedly cut off the main supply roads. Ukrainian Southern Operational Command Spokesperson Nataliya Humenyuk stated that in some places, Russian forces had to roll back by up to 15 km.

Local residents also showed what happened above the dam. As the reservoir has been gradually emptied, the river width has shrunk by multiple kilometers. In fact, if we look at the satellite footage, we can see that vast areas have turned into land.

If we increase the contrast of the image, we can also see how narrow is main river path. This means that if the water levels continue to recede, Ukrainians will be able to establish a pontoon bridge and conduct a mechanized assault on a completely naked and unfortified part of the front line.

Hmm..I wonder what Post #29 was?

Deleted posts on these daily propaganda threads seem pretty common.

I sure hope it’s of a case of censorship.

Only a fool would believe that Russian troops in positions that they had more than enough time to prepare ahead of time are not inflicting massive casualties

No one said Ukraine would not and is not suffering casualties.
