As someone said sometime ago, article 5 dey look face!

If we all recall, for every mishap, happenstance, alleged war crimes, sabotage activities etc. The collective western government and their media is very quick to parrot a narrative, “the Russians did it”. They are quick to conclude prior to investigations how it is most likely Russian in every scenario. They have even gone ahead with their media to suggest Russia blew up its own pipeline just to paint how bad the Russians could be and destroy its own self.

Now the crux; how come when a missile landed in Poland, despite the fast paced rush by Poland to name it a Russian made missile and summon the Russian ambassador and lodge a protest, put its military on heightened alert and summon its security chiefs to anticipate triggering article 4 and Ukraine’s claim that Russia has attacked NATO and as such article 5 should be triggered; the almighty US without getting the complete evidence and with investigations still sketchy and early was the first to pour cold water and say it’s most likely not a Russian missile. What changed from the usual hysteria to blame the Russians before even an international investigation is called.

Again; realize how immediately the US president poured cold water on it, NATO SG follows suit and Poland did a U-turn. Zelensky refused to backed down on his claim and hence received a warning from Washington to refrain from accusing the Russians.

This takes us back to what we have been telling so many here, the west will not risk Washington, New York, California, Berlin, Paris, London in exchange for Russian destruction for the sake of Ukraine. NATO vs Russia in a direct conflict would be WW3 and it would be full nuclear, no victors. It also shows there is an extent to which the west would go for Ukraine. Ukraine has been used, simply expendable collateral.

NATO article 5 says, 'an attack on one member is an attack on all'. But there is an important requirement that must be met before article 5 can be applied. In a situation whereby Russia attacks a NATO member. For article 5 to be applied, all members must vote in favour of any action NATO intend to take, before such action can be taken. The vote must be 100% (not 99%).

So when dealing with a non-nuclear state. This can be easily achieved. But for a nuclear state, it is not going to be easy. Because it is like signing a death warrant.

Will we witness an Israeli/American attack against Iranian interests in Syria in the immediate time frame?

According to the Syrian online media, in recent days both Israel and the American Air Force planes for special intelligence missions have been mapping Iranian deep targets in eastern Syria, Damascus and its surroundings, and northern Syria.

According to Syrian opposition sources, in recent days quantities of weapons of all types intended for the Iranian Quds Force have been transferred from Iraqi territory to Syria.

(Yossi Eliezer

You can't defeat militias or stop flow of weapon from the air. Israel has been targeting Iranian weapon logistic in Syria since forever and it has not stopped the flow of weapon from Iran to Hamas, Hezbollah e.t.c. Russia has enormous missiles. But she is unable to stop the flow of weapon into Ukraine.
You need soldiers of the ground to do the job.

Karnice600:
Lacking the confidence, also cos her military strengths are untested. Look at how Russia is messing up, you'll know what I mean.

Russia is not messing up. There was intelligence failure at the beginning of the war which led to a complete failure of the first phase.

Now the massive support Kiev is getting from NATO is keeping her in the fight.

I was debating with someone on this platform on whether Russia is targeting civilians or not. So i highlighted 4 reasons why I think Ukraine is accidentally and deliberately killing it own civilians. Let me quickly mention them here.

1. Trying to shoot down Geran-2 drones with rifle. The bullets fired from the rifle that miss the target can end up killing people. Also when the bullets hit the drone, they force the drone to change course and head for a new target ( probably civilians buildings).

2. Ukrainian defense systems have missed their targets in the air several times. Remember the saying, 'what goes up must come down'. So when you hear the Ukrainians saying that Russia is using S-300 missiles to killed civilians, know that it is the Ukrainian air defense systems that missed it target.

3. The Ukrainian nationalists have being accused of killing pro-Russians several time and blame it on Russia.

4. Amnesty international accused Ukrainian military of converting civilian properties (Hospitals, Schools, buildings, Churches e.t.c) for military use. This automatically turn those civilian properties to military targets.

China is one of the countries that are not afraid of the US militarily, and the US knows this. Because the scenario for China to challenge the US militarily has not occurred in recent times, doesn't mean China is afraid or cant. or haven't in the past.

Take the Korean war as an example, it was China that entered the war and chased the US from North Korea, returning the country to the status quo of ''38th parallel north''. If it was not because of China's intervention, North Korea would be defeated, and China will have a direct border with Korea, a US ally/vassal.

Have you asked yourself why the US didn't shoot any movie concerning the Korean war? the answer is simple, the humiliation was too much. There is just no way the US could slice and propagandize the movie and emerge as a hero, it is just not possible. Think about it.

China entered the Korean war just after over twenty years of the Chinese civil war. So we are talking about a badly equipped military whose only reason for entering the war was their love for their motherland. A peasant country where protein was a luxury, and a country with no military-industrial complex.

China was so poor, and have lost millions of men in the recently paused civil war, the country was in shambles and largely destroyed, and their national wealth was stolen by the fleeing KMT to Taiwan which the US supported. China was at its lowest state, where it was not unusual for people to die on the street due to starvation.

China has no plane, no airforce, no navy, no nuclear weapon, and was badly equipped. They only had a population and humans willing to die in their millions. The US with its heavy support for Korea, planes, tanks, ships, and intelligence, couldn't defeat the Chinese until they called for a ceasefire. China drove them out of North Korea, after killing thousands upon thousands of US forces led by General MacArthur.

It is also important to know that China today was not recognized as a country by the US back then. So if an underequipped, new nation called China could fight the US out of Korea over seventy years ago, now will be a different ball game. China is a Confucian country, and they just don't do things out of ego, but if it comes to fighting, fear those guys.

If you think too many people in their millions died in the second world war, it might interest you to know that of all the bloodiest battle in human history, over half of them was fought in China. If the Chinese want to kill, they kill in the hundreds of millions, not thousands like the Russians are doing in Ukraine. Self-restraint is not a weakness. It is only when you know how evil you can be, you prevent anything that will make you go there.

I mentioned two things, 'will and military strength'. China has the military strength, but the political will to challenge the West is always missing.

The Soviet Union was deeply involved in the Korean war too. They gave Chinese and North Korea ground forces air cover. Check the story of mig-21.

Rubbish. Lies. This reminds me of the Bucha massacre when Ukraine and their western masters orchestrated it and blamed Russia for it, but of course, most countries and the UN didn't believe or took it seriously. That one has died off.

I think this is a ploy to determine how motivated Russia is in this war, to test its strength, and if they fear NATO. Since Russia denied it, there can never be any escalations unless it's proven. This is not a case of strength versus weakness, it's strength versus strength.

May I remind you of a similar incident that happened on May 1999. During the Nato bombing of Yugoslavia (Operation Allied Force), five U.S. Joint Direct Attack Munition guided bombs hit the People's Republic of China embassy in the Belgrade district of New Belgrade, killing three Chinese state media journalists and outraging the Chinese public.

But did China, a nuclear power go to war because of that? of course not. The US apologized, and the case died, although the Chinese still remember it until this day. Even if the US didn't apologize and denied it, war will never happen, just diplomatic beef and sanctions at most. ~You have to know that no matter how the media hype about war, no country wants it.

You may have to take a look at the aftermath pictures of the second war, Europe was completely destroyed, and we are talking about a period when nuclear weapon technologies have not been developed yet. If any war happens, I can guarantee that it could spell the end of the world. The damage will be nothing humanity has ever seen.

So no, this will not escalate into anything, I believe its propaganda. Russia doesn't have a reason to bomb Poland. Also, why are we hearing the news from the US and not the country (Poland) that was bombed? This sounds fishy.

There is no country in the world that has the will and military strength to challenge the US like Russia. China can't try it. In fact Iran is bolder than China in this regard. Iran attacked the US military base in Iraq, when Soleimani (Iranian general) was killed.

During the Cuba crisis. The Soviet Union soldiers shot down a US spy plane over Cuba. They left Europe for America to kill US military pilot. The world was shocked when the US sweep it under the carpet.

Few months ago, the Russians attacked Germany consulate in Ukraine. They West claimed nobody was killed and they also sweet it under the carpet.

Lithuania blocked Russian main land access to Kaliningrad. Russia threatened to respond. NATO immediately unblocked Russian access to Kaliningrad.

If it were the Russians that told Pelosi no to visit Taiwan. Trust me, she won't dare.

War should be avoided at all cost. The two Polish that died today probably thought they were safe and that the war is non of their business.

Centurion101:
No ,some imbeciles here who lacks sense actually think NATO would go to war with someone that have enough nukes to destroy the whole world dozens of time over because of some damn missiles they're not even sure who fired

Like I Russia has denied hitting Poland. NATO is now talking about providing Poland with more defense systems.



Check Aljazeera

God1000:
Exactly, Poland is currently holding emergency meeting, let's hope that there won't be escalation because Poland can take a unilateral military action against Russia right now before NATO will come in

There has been reports of the Ukrainian defense system missiles missing their targets. This could be such incidence. I have mentioned this several times on this platform.

Even if the missiles were fired by the Russians. Nothing will happen. Russia will definitely deny it and the Polish are not going to take action that could result in the death of more Polish.

Russia will be condemned and threatened and nothing will happen.

Uprightness100:
At least two blasts were heard and seen in Kiev not long ago as a result of the Russian middle attack.

A Russian cruise missile hitting Kiev short time ago.

atmy1:
I also fear that we may be past the time for negotiations but I believe Russia is willing to accept any peace deal that will allow them to keep Crimea and at worst allow some temporary neutrality in Donbas. Ukraine and the west are becoming reckless in the war having been very lucky so far whilst Russia is increasingly cautious, the reverse was the case at the beginning. They are careful to not flip the support of their most important ally, especially China, which has no appetite for war. So far it is working for them. There is more support from the global south. Germany has been effectively taken out of the war through economic strangulation and public opinion against the US is rising there. This may be another future win for Russia.

The biggest danger is the continued vilification and undermining of Russia by the media which may set the stage for overconfidence and make the western population to believe Russia will lose, making them reject negotiation. Russia will never lose, as long as its economy is intact, but may be forced to do something dangerous at some point if there is a stupid move from the west such as massive bombardments in Russia or an invasion of Crimea.

The biggest revelation in all this is Iran. We now know that country has been underestimated all along.

I think Putin is now trapped. The Russian elites (Kadyrov, the owner of Wagner e.t.c) & Russian citizens (especially those that support the war) won't be happy if Russia fail to occupy the new territories (Kherson, Zaprophizia & Donbas, even part of Kharkiv).

Imagine someone like Kadyrov who has heavily invested in this war. He has sent thousands of Chechens to Ukraine and he is ready to send more. Kadyrov is not going to accept defeat. If the war continue to go bad for Russia, I fear for Putin.

My Honest Analysis of the Ukraine War

It is clear that Russia committed huge strategic errors at the beginning of the campaign which stems from the original objectives of the military operation. They went into Ukraine with the intention of surrounding Kiev, pressurizing the Ukrainian govt and rousing their people against them, which will then lead to them offering a deal much like what they did in Georgia in 2008.

What they didn't figure out was the level of resilience of the Ukrainian govt due to staunch western support in addition to over 8 years of Russian demonization being preached to the Ukrainian population. Whilst Russia was thinking in terms of a military operation it could quickly end, the western media went into a frenzy on a massive Russian invasion, mass rapes, heavy civilian casualty and planned occupation of Ukraine, all of which were just made up.

Russia woke up to realize they were trapped. They could still take Ukraine if they wanted but at a huge human and resource cost that would inflict huge toll on their economy which is much smaller than Europe's and would force them to be totally dependent on China for survival.
No matter how much we explain it, the withdrawals from Kharkiv and Kherson indicate that things are not going well for Russia at the war front. However, these withdrawals also signal something that should be cause the west more discomfort; Russia has finally realized it's mistakes; it was approaching the war from a tactical perspective as a small piece in a global move against the west whereas the west sees the war as a strategic event, on which the future of world depend.

With the realization that they had been prosecuting the war wrongly, Russia begin to make some changes. First, they legalize the operation for their local population through annexation, setting the stage for a full war mobilization, western style at a future time. Second, they initiated mobilization, much like what US did for Vietnam.

Let's be clear, Russia cannot mount any major offensive in Ukraine at least for the next two months. The Russian military has already acknowledged this.

However, one big hole in the western perfect war plan was the resilience of the Russian economy to sanctions and isolation. Instead of a depleted Russia, we are having an increasingly isolated west and a polarised world. Russia began to win the economic war around the same time it began losing the military one. This gives a lot of hope to the Russian leadership and huge worries for the western authorities because with an intact economy and a strong alliance, Russia can prosecute war till infinity.

Another thing that is giving the west a headache is the fact that Russia's losses has not weakened the support of its allies but is in fact increasing support for Russia in the global south. We have seen the US lose the support of long time partners like Saudi, Turkey and UAE on critical issues whilst Russian allies like Iran, North Korea and China have increased support. The western economies are also not faring well.

Here is my take on conflict resolution:
First, Let's forget about the ideological approach to the conflict because it will always lead to a dead end. The war can either go on for like ever with millions of Ukrainian casualties and a failed Ukrainian state. Worse still, it can quickly escalate into a global or continental war with far reaching consequences for all. There is a third option; resolution.

To resolve this conflict, all parties must be ready to make concessions and this must start with a change in the media narrative on the war which currently relies on absolute perspectives. There should also be satisfactory negotiations on the status of Crimea and Donbas. I believe all other seized territories should go to Ukraine. There should also be agreements on a neutral Ukraine to serve as a buffer. I understand that this kind of settlement for the west means they lost a huge opportunity to weaken Russia but they need to consider that there are much more dangerous possible outcomes right now. The economic war between the East and the West can continue but for God's sake let's end this conflict, it's already affecting everyone in the world.

Perfect analysis!

Most people still don't believe that Russia didn't intend to take Kiev. From military angle, 30k troops can not seize KIEV. It is just impossible. In fact it was shocking they made it to the gate of Kiev. Even when got to the gate, they chose not to bombard the city. Thereby exposing the troops to hit-and-run attacks by the Ukrainians. Which led to a lots of casualties on Russia side.

The Russian troops got stuck on the outskirt of the capital. They could not advance because they don't have the number (they were not sent to invade Kiev). They also couldn't bombard the city, because such order was not given. These were the most elite Russian troops. They were misused.

lhordspy:
I quite agree with you to some extent.

Firstly, i think the time for negotiation has passed. Negotiations as an option to end the war is off the table forever. It is now a matter of Ego. Any side that shows willingness to negotiate will now be seen as weak. Especially if it is the Russian side, the western-controlled media will make mockery of their openness and run the news 247 in 7 days a week just to spite and degrade the military might and power of the Russians in the face of the world.

Ofcourse, the military aide heading towards Ukraine are slowing down this days. The west are getting bored, but we have an adamant United state still rallying the other western countries, bullying them into sending more military aide to Ukraine. United state are taking this more personal, this is the closest they have gotten to hurting russia both economically and militarily and they want to maximise the pain they are having the opportunity to inflict on the Russian side indirectly. Not even in Syria are they this close and lucky. Now they can do all that without having to engage them direct. Afterall they have succeeded with the first step in painting the Russians bad. Turning the world and media against them. All they had to do is just keep funding the war, and pushing, blackmailing the UN and other allies into adding more economical crippling sanctions against Russian. Afterall the public sympathy is already in the bag for them.

What the United state dont know(or maybe they know but choose to undermine it) is that the Russians are now getting frustrated. When the Russians are frustrated we know the extent they can go especially if it is just an option of either saving face(accept defeat) or having to go all in that is left. The russians we know will always go with the latter.

Thier tactics these days isnt failing like you stated, i think the russians are bored and tired with the soft way the war is going. Infact, i must commend them for playing safe all this while trying to still look good to the media. The United state are very clever, they first use the media against you, to demoralise you, paint you black to the extent that you will be fighting against two opponent, the enemies and the media.

The russians are trying to avoid media criticisin but also looking to push the Ukrainian into making a mistake so they could use that as an excuse to turn the war into a brutal dirty one where all things go... Anything goes kinda war.

I think they allowed the United state blow up the Nord stream. They allowed it, to cripple Germany since they cant stand for themselves except acting like the US puppet. Since the Stream was blown off. Have you heard about germany? They are struggling for life themselves instead of sending military aide to ukraine.

I also think they allow Ukrainian army blow up the crimea bridge. They wanted using that as means to annihilate Ukraine once and for all and turn the whole thing rough. Reason why when the missile started flying in on Ukraine, the US knew what was coming, they had to quickly intervene by using the UN, the Media and all they got in criticising the Russia moves. Russia had to back down when the criticism was too much. So many failed card the Russians have played, just to turn the war dirty, like the accusing of Ukranian trying to use biological weapons against its men, to the ukranian hitting Russian ship in the sea which stopped them in participating in the grain transport agreement.

I also think the removing and withdrawal of troops from Kherson is their last card. If Ukranian army moves into kherson and occupy the 40% of the region. Zelensky has been happy and running his mouth since the supposedly city re-capturing which he doesnt know is a trap
He may be tempted to use the new Launcher giving to them by US, he may be tempted to use it to strike Crimea, as they are now within crimea reach for strike launching. That will be their wrongdoing if it work out that way. Just want i think the Russians want. The Russians will use the excuse of killing their civilians in crimea to turn the whole war upside. By then they will have solid excuse to start a new phase and dimension of the war. The brutal one. The russian preffered type of war.

The downside unfortunately is things may escalate very fast, Northkorea and Iran are now growing some balls against the US and its allies. India is ever ready to pick the Russian side. While the only weak link is China. I am of the opinion they are too soft. Reason why United state is using small taiwan to torment them. I know they fear for their economical association with the US and its allies but they ought know the US will always have something as leverage against countries to keep them down and bully them as they deem fit. They are that mischievous....

If US keep pushing Ukrainian thinking they are reducing the strenght of the Russians. They may eventually get the Russian frustrated and a frustrated russia dont mind starting a 3rd world war with flying Nuclear weapons, than surrender and bow to defeat. Any which way it is, i dont think the war will stay too long. I just fear of its outcome. But one thing i know is that Either Russia or United state will get hurt at the end.

I totally agree with you. But I strongly believe that Russia won't use nuclear weapon in Ukraine, no matter what Ukraine does.

Russia will only use nuclear weapon, if the West deploy it troops to Ukraine.

UKRAINE, FINLAND, NORWAY AND TURKEY ARE RIGHT FOR STRENGTHENING NATO.
RUSSIA IS UP TO NO GOOD. PUTIN IS THE MADMAN HERE. TELL PUTIN HE IS MAD FOR INVADING ANOTHER MAN IN HIS HOME.

If you study the NATO expansion, may be you know better. If you are part of the Russian elites and you watch the US (a country that is thousands of kilometers away from Europe) deployed Nuclear weapon to Turkey in the name NATO. Then the US extended nuclear weapon deployment to Belgium, Germany, Italy and Netherlands.

Would you just sit back and watch them do whatever they like. The main problem is the sharing of the US nuclear weapon to non-nuclear countries in Europe. This is highly irresponsible. So imagine if Russia, China, India, Pakistan e.t.c decide to do the same.

Putin is not a fool. The Russians have been patience. They have been warning the West for years about the security architecture of Europe.

Crimea is simply not enough for Putin. The minimum he can take is the entire Donbas, part of Kherson the Russian troops currently occupy and part of Zaprophizia they occupy as well.

But where are the Putin supporters who predicted that Ukraine will be done with within 72 hours?

Where are those fools?

You’d be surprised how people would open their two eyes and choose to support evil; and be speaking big grammar on top of it.

Or are they Muslims that want the downfall of America or what?

Surprisingly, these same folks are the ones supporting Tinubu despite his frailties, ills and terrible past.

But I prophesy today, that as Putin failed in Ukraine with all his “Structure” and nuclear warheads against a “structureless” Ukraine who had to quickly assemble a military to combat Russia, so shall Tinubu and even Atiku fail with all their structures against a structureless Labour Party.

The war in Ukraine was not just a war, it was a battle between darkness and light, between freedom and repression, between the big boy who felt he had all the structure to bully the small guy and the small guy who is only seeking his self preservation.

And as always, light will always be victorious over darkness!

texazzpete:
They’ve been exhuming mass graves in multiple Ukrainian settlements. Dead bodies strewn on the streets of Bucha. Multiple corroborated stories from victims about torture and executions.
Iranian drones used to blow up power station in multiple Ukrainian cities. Millions plunged into darkness this close to Winter.

And you’re opening your mouth to claim that civilians are being spared by the Russian devils.

Brainwashing is clearly real.

Amnesty international carried out an investigation, which shows that the Ukrainians were converting civilian buildings, churches, hospitals for military use. Hereby exposing the civilians to gun and artillery fire.

The Ukrainian air defenses missiles have been seen missing their targets in the sky. So when they miss their target, they will definitely land somewhere.

The Ukrainians themselves agree to shooting down Iranian drones using rifles. Hereby forcing the drone to change course. This resulted in the drones hitting several civilian buildings across Ukraine. The bullets they fired at the drones sometimes hit civilians.

The Ukrainians themselves kill the so-called pro-Russians and blame it on Russia.

The above led to the death of civilians more than any deliberate act by the Russians to kill Civilians.

I am not saying that the Russians are not targeting civilians at all. But if you compare this war with the war the US & NATO fought, you will understand. The US gave absolutely no regard for Civilians I'm Iraq. They started bombing civilian infrastructures from day one. Likewise NATO in Yugoslavia. But Russia didn't do that.

okeysoninv:
when will this sickness leave you bro, you're own indoctrination of Putard is out of this world. even when when Putin is surrendering to almighty ukraine you still head this believe in puppy armies of Russia. when I thought I have seen it all in Buharists neither do I knew that Putard is an incurable disease.

You are typical Nigeria. Don't just tell me blue is black. Kindly explain to me how? I gave details of what I think will happen. I am not on the field fighting. This is my prediction and it is well detailed. I told you what I think is achievable for the Russians and what is not achievable.

So instead of being emotional and dragging Buhari into Ukraine war. Just make your prediction and give us the details of how you think the event will unfold. It is just like football where we make predictions and at the end the match, you know who is right or wrong.

Every arguement should not turn to war or insult. It is just common sense. If you expect people to think or act the same way you do. You won't last long, because you will get yourself in trouble with everyone.

Pauldollars:
The only power Russia has is Nuclear weapons. Even their soldiers are highly untrained in rules of engagement and modern warfare.
They went to Ukraine with a Soviet mindset

Yes, you are right. It is nuclear weapon that the Russians are using to fight in Ukraine.


People don't even know how hard it is to fight a country that is getting economic and military aid from almost everywhere in Europe, America, Australia e.t.c. Every military equipment Ukraine lose are being replaced. Russia wipe out Ukrainian tanks and military vehicles. They have been replaced. Russia destroyed Ukrainian air defense systems, now they are being replaced. Likewise men. The UK, Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand are taking civilians out of Ukraine to Train them how to fight. So it is more complicated than you think.

If it were UK or France that invaded Ukraine. They would have lost. In fact there is no individual country in Europe that is capable of doing what Russia is doing in Ukraine now. Even the US can't survive it.

The Russians still have a chance. They can give the same treatment Ukraine gave them in Kherson to the Ukrainian troops in the other side of the river in Zaprophizia. Isolate them and destroy or force them to withdraw and the entire region.

In Donestsk, the Russians are advancing. They took Donestsk airport two days ago. They are also advancing in Bakhmut.

Kharkiv is still within the reach of Russia. By the time new reservists join the war. Offensive will be launch in Kharkiv and Donbass. Donbass will be liberated once and for all and part of Kharkiv. I don't think they can take the entire Kharkiv region.

In the south, taking Mikolaev and Odesa seem impossible. Because they have lost Kherson. But they can keep the eastern part of Kherson they currently occupied.

We are in for a long war. I respect the Ukrainians for their will to fight. But they are staying in the fight because the West is keeping them in the fight with enormous military and financial aids.

My Verdict: The entire Donbass will become Russian territory forever. The Eastern part of Kherson the Russians currently occupy will also become Russian territory forever. The dream to capture Odesa in my opinion is gone.
Part of Kharkiv (at least 40%) will become Russian territory forever. In Zaprophizia, Russia will seize the entire region or the part they currently occupy.

Kindly quote me when the war is over.

Have we gotten to the extent that we're now posting Russian propaganda straight from the Kremlin here?

We're in Nigeria and OP is posting about 'fatherland'. Are you Russian now? Dem give you visa?

Imagine posting crap from a Govt controlled, warmongering agency.

E say na 'closed and secret agency'. What a way to describe a brutal, fascist mercenary corps that are taking anyone these days. Including prisoners from Russian jails.

Russia is not the only country that has private military company. The US has a military private company called 'BLACK WATER'.

If you compare Ukraine war with Iraq war, you will realise that the Russians are not targeting civilians. The US killed 300k civilians in two months. They destroyed civilians infrastructures.

But in Ukraine less than 40k have died so far. Russia started attacking civilian targets when the Ukrainians attacked Russian civilian infrastructures like the Crimea.

Uprightness100:
The Ukrainians are storming the Kakhovka dam right now in a blitz, attempting to take it from the Russians who were trying to blow it up.

Absolute chaos in Russian channels right now.

Zelensky: If Russia blows up Kakhovka dam, it will be war declaration to whole world.

If Russia is interested in blowing the dam. They won't wait for Zelensky's troops before they do it.
