Ukraine is in full defense mode and Russia is moving west. Depending how much Russia moves we will see push for UA surrender by early or late spring.

@mufinsp0 Me, none. Most on this channel are on something very strong - as well as the author. When will you realize Ukraine lost the war - when Russians are in Kiev or Lviv? I bet when west forces them to surrender you spin it as some kind of "victory".

@patwilson2546 Well, Russia did show - they taken Bakhmut, they are now taking Adiivka. They advanced more than Ukraine in 2023. They taken lighter losses then the enemy and are forcing Ukraine into general mobilization.

Which as this war has shown was a correct assessment.

They can - Russia now is counting on some major operation there.

No. Most likely the dam was taken out by Ukraine as they had the most to gain from its demise.

@enpakeksi765 Well, they are the ones that mainly benefited from the dam demise. There was nothing for the Russians. Alternatively dam simply disintegrated due to luck of maintenance. The dam was attacked multiple times by Ukrainian forces using Himars system.

@enpakeksi765 1. Attacks did happen 2. attacks did damage the gates / their mechanism Why then attack the dam? Please do explain. No that you admitted dam was attacked but state it did not damage, why millions of USD in ammo were spent?

@enpakeksi765 Haw can you attack bridge section of a dam? You do know it's solid, right? I.e. You cannot make any holes. If you remove some surface concrete it can simply be filled in. Thus only thing you can attack are the gates or other control systems.

@enpakeksi765 "The dam was visibly scarred by fighting in the months before the breach. Ukrainian strikes had damaged one part of the roadway over the dam" NY times. "A Maxar satellite image taken at 12:15 p.m. local time shows damage to a section of the roadway and sluice gates at the Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine on June 5." foreignpolicy I finally found an image from 15th of August - to the little bridge. Looks like damage was fixed later on. Through in September 22nd part of the tiny bridge is collapsed. So you are correct, the little bridge was targeted in addition to the dam itself - through the dam itself was attacked much later on.

@enpakeksi765 Ah found the evidence of direct strikes on the dam, both video and pictures of the dam hits by HIMARS - google "SIMPLICIUS THE THINKER" and June 6th. Lots of info showing hits not on some bridge but the dam.
