You have been propagandised!

Here is a report from Amnesty International:

"Ukraine: Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians"

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/08/ukraine-ukrainian-fighting-tactics-endanger-civilians/

As far as I know, there is no similar report about Russia. Just Ukrainian-sourced propaganda - like Bucha.

There is no military supplies or weapons caches at the ZNPP - they don't need to do it.

Russia has complete ISR superiority. Ukraine has no air force, no air defense, and no EW.

Russia has all those things in spades.

We are almost three weeks into the "counteroffensive" and Ukraine has yet to reach even the first line of the Russian defences - the Russians are destroying the Ukrainian forces in their Gray Zone that extends 25 km in front of their first actual line of defense.

The war is not going well for Ukraine - that is why there is talk of a "pause".

In short, there is no reason for any :scorched earth" actions by the Russians - quite the opposite - the Russians are safe and secure behind their fortified defences. It is the Ukrainians who are losing.

But there is another aspect to this. The areas where the Russians are being accused of destroying - or intending to destroy - these infrastructure targets are all IN RUSSIA.

Putin declared these areas to be part of Mother Russia, official Russian provinces, last September. And all the people living there are now Russian citizens.

And yet we are constantly being asked to believe that Russia likes to blow up its own infrastructure and hurt its own people.

That is absurd.

It is MUCH more reasonable to think that for Ukraine, these "troublesome Russians", these "subhumans" living in the East are "terrorists" and deserve to die.

After all, Kiev launched their Anti-Terror Operation in the East in 2014 and have been killing ethnic Russians who live there ever since.

Even today, with war raging, they continue to shell civilian Targets in Donetsk.

It seems much more likely that it is Kiev and not Moscow that would be willing to cause a horrible human and environmental catastrophe in these areas.
