Imagine waking up in the morning and the first thing you know is that russia committed another war crime/ecocide/crime against humanity. The reservoir cools down Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and gives water to the North Crimean Canal (hew, remember how russian claimed that they attacked Ukraine because they needed water to the occupied Crimea?). Hundred of villages and towns will be drowned just in a few hours. Thousands of people will lose their homes. 
I can’t even start to describe how vile it is, how angry and heartbroken I am right now.

Kherson, 09.06.23.
Maria Leontievna is 84 years old. She caught WW II as a child, now the russian occupiers forced her to experience the tragedy in a new way.
She was left with nothing.

Дуже хуйово. As you know, the left bank of the Kherson oblast' affected by the flooding is under the control of russian occupiers, who don't allow any rescue missions and prevent us from even evaluating the scale of the destruction. Well, the word of mouth says they didn't do shit to help the people in the flooded villages and now there are HUNDREDS OF CORPSES drifting in the stillwater.
I feel sick. This is the most transparent example of genocide I can remember in my lifetime, and it is being literally translated online. The forced neutrality in the statements of some certain magazines and organisations is nothing but intentional complacency. Don't even get me started on the friends of kremlin. For their sakes, I hope hell exists.

Tucker Carlson on Twitter Ep. 2 « Le barrage de Kakhovka était en fait Russe. Il a été construit par le gouvernement russe. Il se trouve actuellement en territoire contrôlé par la Russie. Le réservoir du barrage fournit de l'eau à la Crimée, qui abrite la flotte russe de la mer Noire depuis 240 ans. Mauvais pour l'Ukraine, mais encore plus dommageable pour la Russie, c'est pourquoi le gouvernement ukrainien a envisagé de le détruire.
« Toute personne saine d'esprit conclurait que les Ukrainiens l'ont probablement fait exploser, tout comme ils ont fait exploser le gazoduc russe Nord Stream l'automne dernier. Et en fait, comme nous le savons maintenant, c'est exactement ce que les Ukrainiens ont fait.
« Il ne semble pas que Vladimir Poutine cherche à déclencher une guerre contre lui-même. »
Tumblr media
🇺🇲🇺🇦🇷🇺 L'année dernière, le Washington Post a rapporté que l'Ukraine avait attaqué et endommagé le barrage avec des HIMARS américains - n'y trouvant rien d'immoral.
Quelques mois plus tard, le barrage est détruit et les élites des médias politiques moralement indignées insistent immédiatement sur le fait que seule la Russie pourrait être derrière cet acte maléfique.
Tumblr media
En deux émissions sur Twitter les 6 et 8 juin, Carlson est allé chercher un auditoire de 168,8 millions de spectateurs. C'est à peu près 50 fois plus que ses compétiteurs _ensemble_ et 117 fois plus que l'auditoire chez son ancien employeur. 😏

As many already suspected, evidence is coming out that suggests a Russian sabotage group planted explosives at the Kakhovka Dam in southern Ukraine, triggering serious ecological damage.
Ukraine's security service posted a segment of an audio conversation online that they said was intercepted, but further information is not available.
If true, the motivate stated on the audio clip was to scare people, in order to deflect any potential Ukrainian counteroffensive. The BBC states this in their own report on Ukraine's counter-offensive:
It seems highly likely that Russian forces, which controlled the dam, decided to blow it up, taking one of Kyiv's military operations off the table.
Ukrainian forces may be starting a counteroffensive in the south, as Vladimir Putin mentioned this in an audio clip on Telegram.

No doubt some readers of my essay yesterday were wondering how I could know that it was the Ukrainians who were responsible for destroying the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant and consequent flooding of the adjacent settlements on both banks of the Dnepr and further downstream. Where is the proof someone wrote to me in the Comments section of my website. Where is the photo showing how the breach was made?
Sticklers like these are the same folks who always argue that we simple people never can know what is really going on. Only the “big boys” have all the facts.
I never have accepted such argumentation in favor of total passivity of the population and blind obedience to authorities who, as we so often discover, are neither as intelligent nor as well-meaning as what you were told in kindergarten.  I am quite satisfied that application of normal reasoning processes like cui bono and identification of flagrant contradictions in the narratives of one or another side, of flagrant contradictions within mainstream reporting are sufficient to arrive at the truth independently and without reliance on insider information or wild speculation.
In the given instance it was quite sufficient to rely on the Marxist thinking processes differentiating between “subjective” and “objective” causality.  And the “subjective” approach leaves no doubt about what happened on 5 June at the Kakhovka dam.
Why do I say that?  Because even today as I watched the BBC morning news there was extensive video coverage of the flooding along the lower reaches of the Dnepr river, but not a peep about the military fiasco of the Ukrainian army in the previous three days of its long awaited counter-offensive. Indeed, other news channels even made reference to a new commitment by Joe Biden to provide assistance to Ukraine in light of the destruction of the reservoir at Kakhovka.
Meanwhile, yesterday all Russian news outlets gave primary attention to a speech by Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu in which he set out in detail the results on the battlefield over the previous three days of fierce engagement of Russian and Ukrainian military forces along several points of the line of confrontation, in particular in southern Donetsk. This is a summary of his report in today’s Fontanka.ru :
In the words of the minister, on 4 June the 23rd and 31st mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine undertook an attempted attack in five areas but did not achieve success in any of them. On 5 June, the Ukrainian army attempted an attack in seven areas deploying the forces of five brigades. Shoigu stated that the attempted attacks were stopped, ‘and the enemy did not achieve his objectives while bearing considerable and incomparable losses.’
As Shoigu reported, over the course of three days of military action in all areas Ukraine lost up to 3715 soldiers, 52 tanks, 207 armored vehicles, 134 automobiles, 5 airplanes, 2 helicopters, 48 field artillery pieces and 53 drones.
The minister also named the losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: in the course of repelling the attack 71 soldiers died and 210 were wounded. They lost 15 tanks, 9 troop carriers, 2 automobiles and 9 artillery pieces.
As the host of the Evening with Vladimir Solovyov talk show remarked last night, this is the first time in the armed conflict that the Russians have officially reported the losses of both sides. Comparing directly the 71 Russian soldiers who died with the 3615 Ukrainians said to have lost their lives tells the whole story of the way the Ukrainian “counter-offensive” is playing out.  This is a massacre that in a just world would justify immediate cessation of all further arms deliveries to Ukraine and insistent demand for capitulation to end the senseless bloodshed.

It wasn’t a ‘mistake’ or ‘accident’ - russians knew what they were doing.

Kakhovka reservoir no longer exists
Tumblr media
According to new satellite images, the Kakhovka Reservoir no longer exists. The Dnipro River has returned to its old course, and a desert with isolated lakes has formed in the center of Ukraine. A comparison of images before and after the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam by the Russian occupiers was posted by the War Mapper account.
Commentators are discussing whether this situation will open up additional opportunities for the Ukrainian army to force the already narrow Dnipro River in a place unexpected by the enemy, but it seems that this area will be impassable for heavy military equipment for a long time.
There is no need to talk about the water supply in the South of Ukraine and the powerful blow to the region's ecology. The consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovka reservoir by the Russians can be equated to the use of nuclear weapons. The almost complete lack of reaction to this event by the UN and other countries directly pushes Russia to use real nuclear weapons and other crimes against humanity.

Overnight, Russia launched an attack on Ukrainian energy facilities, damaging power generation, transmission and distribution systems in various regions, including Ukraine's largest hydroelectric power plant, the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant in Zaporizhzhia.
Many towns and cities were partially or completely cut off from electricity.
Tumblr media
Seems that Russians not had enough of the terrible disaster at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant last year.
Ukraine needs weapons and air defense against Russian terrorism and genocide.

Fucking hell
Russians blew up the Kakhovka Dam and basically destroyed the entire hydroelectric power plant.
Some regions in southern Ukraine are being flooded right now, others are going to lose access to fresh water. Even after the war ends, it will take years to rebuild the destroyed structures, and it will take decades (and enormous amount of resources) to reverse the ecological damage. Some things are going to be irreversible.
This will change the face of Ukrainian south for decades to come.
I want those responsible for this ecocide to eat glass, shit glass, sweat glass
