If someone waiting for you on the other side... nothing can pass. Loosing one side of the dam is one thing, the dam blowing up is another.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
I saw and mentioned that earlier.
One interpretation is that the Russians are preparing ahead of time if the Ukrainians take the mainland back.
Another is the Russians are training their troops in Crimea from digging to fighting in the trenches.
hopefully they can hold the chokepoint, but at least they'll be less scared of the dam breaking and destroying Kherson if they don't occupy Kherson.
War crime. Not that anyone has the capability to prosecute Russians but it would look bad for their propaganda campaign to get more Ukrainians to flee to Russia for the demographic attrition part of the war.
Is it warcrime if the place is empty?
At least 115k has evacuated and its still ongoing.
Reviewing footage of UAV strikes, the one that took down the Krab appears to be a shorter X winged version of the Lancet.
This one taking out the MLRS leaves no doubt the drone tracks and repositions itself against moving target which in this case the MLRS doing a shoot and scoot. Again this one is the shorter X winged Lancet version. The initial strike is quickly followed by a second strike.

They could always try false flagging it and blame AFU.
Still not sure what to make of the supposed withdrawal. They were trolling with that once already.
Is not unheard off. The main reason the dam didn't fail is because one of the bombs was a dud.
International law does point out it is a war crime if it causes the release of water with disregard for the life of civilians, which maybe puts Kherson in a grey area if it's empty.
That said, the Russians get accused of war crimes anyway while the Ukranians execute their own people without anyone batting an eyelid, so what gives.
