Having found out what happens when they do try to counter attack, the UA needed to go back to the excuse for a delay of 'the ground is too soggy'. How could they do that?
Typical lying Ukrainians! 11 sections of the power plant dam may be destroyed NOW, which would require a lot of explosives. However, early footage showed that only a small section was damaged, and the rest has been done by the water.
Why would Russia cut off the water supply to ZNPP, the water supply to Crimea and flood the defences they have just built?
Russia is already defeating the 'Ukrainian counter offensive' - they didn't need this!
