Yeah, right. Those crazy Russians just keep blowing up their own infrastructure.

- You probably believe that the Russians blew up Nord Stream - which they spent $12 billion building, and which they could have stopped simply by turning a valve.

- You probably believe that the Russians have been shelling the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant - even though they control it, and have troops and nuclear specialist personnel stationed there.

- And now you believe the Russians have blown up the dam at Nova Kakhovka, even though they control it, and it is the main source of electricity and water to their people in Crimea; even though the flooding is destroying all the fortifications the Russians built on the eastern bank of the Dnieper; even though it is putting their troops and personnel in the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant at risk of a meltdown; even though they could have achieved the same disastrous flooding effect simply by opening up the sluice gates rather than blowing them up; even though the Ukrainians have been shelling the dam with MLRS missiles since August 2022.

You are obviously a brilliant Ukrainian analyst.
