Except the Russians did it.

The reference to Ukraine supposedly considering it when Russia was defending Kherson - except they didn’t and Ukraine captured Kherson so that logic no longer exists.

Insane indeed. Desperate attempt to change the focus while the Uber-offensive sputters in its first wave. Media are already in a feeding frenzy like after the NordStream attacks.

OK, how? What weapons, what delivery, how many were used? If Ukraine doesn’t have it and can’t delivery it, they did not destroy the dam. This was far more than a single HIMARS attack.

The ZNPP is the key factor here. Zelvis thinks the potential for meltdown will force the UNSC to order the IAEA inspectors into the plant, while somehow blaming Russia and bringing down the wrath of worldwide environmentalists on them.

Maybe that’s his secret plan for instigating the new Russian revolution.

Ukraine says that Russia did it; Russia says that Ukraine did it. Russia is the worse liar, Russia is the terrorist power, and Russia has been destroying civilian infrastructure. So far, the balance of evidence is that Russia did it. But I’ve got nothing from anyone trustworthy.

The Russians had planted bombs before leaving in November. The Russians blew it up as they retreat further from southern Ukraine

One minute the Scotland Today article cites tweets that say Ukraine was shelling the dam, the next it says it was a drone.

The article also says Zaporozhzhia Region “overwhelmingly supported” annexation despite the number of Oblast residents not voting at all VASTLY outnumbering the ones who did vote.

The title of the article suggests Zelenskyy ordered the attack but doesn’t provide even an allegation to that effect, let alone a sourced quote.

A test strike six months ago, which was intended to impair the use of the bridge not to blow the dam up, proves nothing.

Russia has spent the last few weeks evacuating people out of dozens of settlements south of the river, and moving them to the coast.

Russia is currently shelling Kherson while thousands of people are trying to get out of the way of the coming flood. Quite a stroke of luck, that they were so quick to retarget and so quick to know where to hit.

Russia is also saying, Crimea’s only going to be temporarily affected by the flood because they’d planned ahead.

Russian Telegram channels can’t make their mind up. Some are delighted that this breach will wash away Ukrainian forces downriver and are cheering the dam collapse - they’re only too happy to claim the credit.

Others are blaming Ukraine but are cheering the smarts of Russia moving its people out of the path of the flood, and could care less about those who haven’t gotten out of the way.

Who was in control of the dam? I thought it was Russia. A bloody drone didn’t do THAT much damage. Heck, even a targeted missile would only have done it if there’d beem a heck of a fluke.

Russia had more to gain and less to lose; it had more rational motives; it had better means and opportunity; it got the excuses out early; it got its people out of the way first.

All VERY convenient for Russia.

The idiot Ukes did it. The Russian side of the river is the low ground and it cut off the north Crimean canal water supply again. It also endangers the nuclear plant cooling. Russia had zero advantage from this. It was the idiot Ukes… likely advised by Brits.

Major General Andrey Kovalchuk, former head of Ukraine’s Operational Command South....

Admitted in an interview with the Washington Post in December.Kiev indeed considered blowing up the dam to paralyze Moscow’s forces who were defending the city of Kherson – and even “conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates”

The dam was reportedly struck around 2am local time. A video captured from a drone has circulated on Telegram, purporting to show the aftermath of the attack, with streams of water seen flowing through the breach.

Dams generally have real time video, if the area is controlled by Russia and the video is not released, we know who did it.

Evidence I’ve seen suggests the dam was already damaged from prior shelling and ruptured on its own. Each side seems stunned and unprepared by the event.
