Maybe they are preparing for the option of dropping theater nukes or bio/chem weapons on the area if Ukraine succeeds (scorched earth - they do have a precedent for doing that.)

Look for a big flood or possibly a tactical nuke.

I heard something about flooding, and I thought maybe they would be flooding the underground tunnels.

⚡️The city of Kherson will become a fortress that the troops will 'defend to the end', deputy head of the russian occupied Kherson region.

They get the civilians out of the way to create a killing field for the Ukes.

If Canuckistan uses nukes, that will be the end of Canuckistan.

Captain Obvious rhetoric material that simply leaves out the obvious:

If anyone uses nukes, most of this planet will need to bend over and kiss its collective arses goodbye as the planet goes up in one huge mushroom cloud.......

Did you even read it? I didn’t even realize this was Moscow Times. It actually reads pretty well/balanced to me.

In fact, it pretty much is telling the world they are pulling out of Kherson...pretty big news actually and a big defeat.

Many who are leaving are pro-Russian and fear reprisals for collaborating when the Ukies return with their army. The plan is likely to settle such people in Luhansk or other claimed Russian territories to increase the pro-Russian population there.

The city of Kherson will become a fortress

good, Ukrainian forces can just bypass it and slowly starve it out

(modern warfare: avoid urban fighting)

How do you starve out a city you can’t surround, don’t have air superiority and has a port?

“good, Ukrainian forces can just bypass it and slowly starve it out”

Ukraine stands to gain if they blow the dam - power to Crimea will be greatly deminished and Russian troops wipd out. Russia has nothing to gain if they blow it unless they’re planning on letting that chunk of Kherson area go back to Ukraine on the other side of the river.

Better if neither blow the dam of course.

The Kherson dam is far more important to Russia than Kherson city. ....it feeds power to Crimea and enables their military to cross.
