This "Russian soldier" also say "I do not know who blow up the dam" in the video. It is such bs.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
Guess the Russians blew the dam without even clearing their own lines first
Western analysts pointed out previously that should the dam be blown up, the flooding would be worse on the Russian side due to topography so Ukraine had a motive to do it
And in December, the Ukrainians admiting to conducting a test strike on the dam.
The narrative being pushed by the west can only be described as pure cowardice. If you are going to do the deed, own up to it instead of doing this bs. This is why the west can't be trusted in any shape or form whatsoever.

Commander of the “Vostok” battalion Aleksandar Khodakovsky reports that Novodonetsk has again come under the control of the Russian Army:
“Unable to break through our defenses, the enemy considered his position unfavorable and began to crawl away from the captured positions. Yesterday, at the end of the day, Novodonetskoye was almost completely in his hands, with the exception of a few streets - at the moment we have restored control over the settlement. Losses on our part turned out to be much smaller than they could have been with such an aggressive onslaught. Domestic communications worked reliably, imports were put down immediately. Today, the situation is at the level of the usual background - apparently, there is a regrouping," he said.
Multiple mappers concur:

I suspect one of the reason why dam was blow up now. Are disastrous initial results of Ukrainian offensive in Zaporozhye.
Genuinely curious what would be the motive behind the destruction of Nova Kakhovka Dam if it was done by Russia considering most of the defensive lines held out pretty well, currently that is
It is same logic as with Nord Stream. Just lack of it.
They should just cancel the grain deal, that would be a first step, I have family in Kiev and many support russia,
...
Also seems Berkhivka is safe for the time being

The head of the Kherson region Volodymyr Saldo:
"It is quite simple to explain the reason for this behavior of the Kyiv regime. In Ukraine, there is a saying “I don’t eat, I’ll bite like that” - we can’t do anything, but we’ll hurt, we’ll spoil. The Kiev regime decided to strike at the food security of the Kherson region and divert attention from its terrible failures in the so-called "counteroffensive". Nothing will come of them - the whole of Russia is with us."
Maria Zakharova (Director of the Information and Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation):
"On October 21, 2022, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General about the plans of the Kiev regime to destroy the Kakhovskaya HPP.
Question to the UN Secretary General: What has been done?"

Grain deal are mostly due to Turkey and that it retain neutral position despite being NATO member. With Edrogan being reelected it is unlikely that there would be any moves that can decrease mutual relationships between Turkey and Russia.
Regarding this video. I know that MRAP have V bottom design to deflect blast away from passenger cabins and run flat tires and bottom protection specifically designed with mines in mind, yet in this case AT mines seem to take them out just as well. Are their protection more intended for IED and not dedicated AT mine with shape charge warhead?
Perhaps the logic with the MRAP rush in the first few days was to use them to clear mine fields?
