A few hours ago an alleged explosion blew up the Nova Kakhova dam in Ukraine.

It was either that or structural damage from previous strikes.

Geoff Brumfiel @gbrumfiel - 6:31 UTC · Jun 6, 2023 The dam was already under enormous strain and damaged. Then things got worse. On 2 June, it looks like a road over the dam failed. That could be indicative of a larger structural failure. ...

In consequence the huge reservoir behind the dam is now flooding lower level land south of Kherson (Xepcoh). The pictures show the before and after of potential flooding due to the breach:

Previously the Russian army had pulled back its troops from the northern part of Kherson oblast because a dam breach would endanger their supply route.

We do not know yet how much of the dam has been damaged. How much water will be flowing out of it depends on the part of the wall that is still standing below the current water level.

Of note is that the Ukraine had previously filled the upstream dams on the Dnieper to the brim to increase the potential damage. Those waters were released in early May. Notice the date of the following tweet.

ZOKA @200_zoka - 14:12 UTC · May 4, 2023 Water level in Kakhovka reservoir in Zaporozhye region risen by 17 m and almost reached critical level. Under threat of destruction of dam in Kamenka Dneprovskaya, dozens of villages may be flooded. Kyiv opened the floodgates in Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye. Embedded video

The Ukrainian propagandists are claiming that the Russian blew up the dam. That is however unlikely.

On October 21 2022 Vasily Nebenzya, the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, sent a letter to the UN Secretary General about the plans of the Kiev regime to destroy the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.

In a report about last years Kherson counteroffensive the Washington Post reported of Ukrainian plans and attempts to blow up the dam:

[Maj. Gen. Andriy] Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages. The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off.

Destroying its own infrastructure is nothing new for Ukrainian servicemen. In April 2022 the New York Times already noted this:

What happened in Demydiv was not an outlier. Since the war’s early days, Ukraine has been swift and effective in wreaking havoc on its own territory, often by destroying infrastructure, as a way to foil a Russian army with superior numbers and weaponry. Demydiv was flooded when troops opened a nearby dam and sent water surging into the countryside. Elsewhere in Ukraine, the military has, without hesitation, blown up bridges, bombed roads and disabled rail lines and airports. The goal has been to slow Russian advances, channel enemy troops into traps and force tank columns onto less favorable terrain.

Quoting the above Washington Post piece Andrew Korybko points to a possible motive for today's demolishing of the dam:

[Kovalchuk's] remark about how “the step remained a last resort” is pertinent to recall at present considering that the first phase of Kiev’s NATO-backed counteroffensive completely failed on Monday according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. Just like Ukraine launched its proxy invasion of Russia in late May to distract from its loss in the Battle of Artyomovsk, so too might does it seem to have gone through with Kovalchuk’s planned war crime to distract from this most recent embarrassment as well.

The most recent embarrassment was the failure of yesterday's attack near Novodarovka and Levadnoye. As the Russian Ministry of Defense noted in a special statement:

As a result of active and self-sacrificing actions of the Vostok Group of Forces, which displayed courage and heroism, the enemy has been stopped, and the set tasks haven’t been achieved. The AFU formations and military units suffered significant losses. Total AFU losses in South Donetsk direction were over 1,500 Ukrainian servicemen, 28 tanks, including FRG-manufactured 8 Leopard tanks, three French-manufactured AMX-10 wheeled tanks, and 109 armoured fighting vehicles.

(I have seen pictures of the destroyed AMX-10 reconnaissance tanks but not yet of any destroyed Leopard.)

Interestingly the 'western' media, pressed into compliance by the Ukrainian government, were thanked for their pro-Ukrainian reporting on the issue around the time the dam was breached:

Michael Tracey @mtracey - 9:42 UTC · Jun 6, 2023 Top advisor of Zelensky thanks journalists in advance today for helping the Ukraine government win the "diplomatic and informational battle" around the bombing of the Nova Kakhovka dam. Helpful reminder of the state imperatives these journalists are expected to abide by Image

The attached image of the top advisor's Telegram post has a 3:03 timestamp.

The destruction of the dam is certainly not to Russia's favor. As the 'western' aligned Moscow Times noted six months ago (link corrected):

In a catastrophic scenario, destroying the dam could send a highly destructive flood wave down the Dnipro River, causing severe flooding in large areas of southern Ukraine. Backswell would also likely flood the Inhulets River, a tributary of the Dnipro. However, terrain levels mean the flooding would likely be worse on the Russian-held left bank of the Dnipro, making a detonation of explosives on the dam an unlikely move for Moscow. "[Destroying the dam] would mean Russia essentially blowing its own foot off,” military analyst Michael Kofman said on the War on the Rocks podcast last month. “[It] would flood the Russian-controlled part of Kherson [region]… much more than the western part that Ukrainians are likely to liberate." And the secondary effects of blowing the dam could be just as severe for Russia. Lowering the river level behind the dam threatens both water supplies to Moscow-annexed Crimea and risks cutting off access to cooling water for the Russian-controlled nuclear power plant in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region.

Water from the dam was also used to irrigate the southern Kherson oblast. The lack of water will disable the power generation at the dam which supplied the south.

The flood is likely to dissipate in a week or two but that does not change the major damages to the parts that Russia claims as its own.

The water will then have destroyed Russian mine fields on the left bank (seen from the spring) of the river. This will open routes for Ukrainian troops to cross the river and to attack into the southern Kherson oblast towards Crimea. There have previously reports that the Ukraine received bridging and ferry equipment for exactly this purpose.

Abstract Using morphological traits and molecular-genetic research methods, the authors have identified 24 species of naked amoeba from natural biotopes. The 18S rRNA gene sequences were obtained for the following species of naked amoeba: Amoeba proteus isolate AP07 (ON907618), Saccamoeba limax isolate SLU_22 (OP894078), Saccamoeba limax isolate SL_Uk19 (OQ520144), Saccamoeba sp. strain IDL777 (MZ079370), Thecamoeba striata isolate THS19 (OQ134482), Thecamoeba striata isolate THS20 (OQ134483), Thecamoeba similis isolate Prut river (OL604177), Thecamoeba similis isolate Baggersee Innsbruck (Baggersee Rossau) (OL604178), Thecamoeba quadrilineata isolate THQD2 (ON398269), Thecamoeba quadrilineata isolate THQA1 (ON398268), Thecamoeba sp. strain THS203 (MZ079371), Stenamoeba stenopodia isolate UKSS7 (OP375108), Stenamoeba stenopodia isolate POLSS7 (OP419588), Korotnevella stella isolate KSD2 (ON398267), Korotnevella stella isolate KSA1 (ON398266), Vexillifera bacillipedes isolate river Dnepr (OK649262), Vannella lata isolate Kamenka river (OL305063), Vannella lata isolate Varta river (OL305064), Vannella sp. strain VLS303 (MZ079372), Vannella simplex isolate Black Sea (OM403052), Vannella simplex isolate Mediterranean Sea (OM403053), Ripella sp. strain RPL100 (MZ079369), Mayorella vespertilioides isolate MV_7 (OP739500), Mayorella sp. isolate MY_7 (OP729930), Acanthamoeba sp. strain ATM123 (MZ079366), Acanthamoeba sp. isolate river Elbe (OK649261), Acanthamoeba polyphaga isolate AcPoly01 (ON908497), Acanthamoeba polyphaga isolate AcPoly15 (ON908496), Acanthamoeba griffini isolate Black sea (OM522832), Acanthamoeba griffini isolate Mediterranean Sea (OM522833), Cochliopodium actinophorum strain COP101 (MZ079367), Cochliopodium minus isolate river Stokhid (OK649264), Cochliopodium sp. strain COP102 (MZ079368), Vahlkampfia avara isolate VA7 (OP179657), Willaertia magna isolate river Teterev (OK649263). All of the naked amoebae species on the phylogenetic tree constructed based on the 18S rRNA gene are located within Amoebozoa and grouped with Tubulinea and Discosea. There are separate groups of freshwater, marine, and terrestrial biotopes; these groups are sister species relative to one another with low results of bootstrap analysis, which shows a low accuracy in the distances of particular amoeba species isolated from different natural biotopes.

Hidden Gem Of Belarus - Lida Castle

⠀

🎦 An exhibition of helmets and armor made by our workshop takes place at the Lida Castle

⠀

Facts about Castle:

▪️ Lida Castle (Lidskiy zamok) was built in 1323-1328 at the confluence of the Lida and Kamenka rivers by Grand Duke Gediminas of Lithuania.

⠀

▪️ This is one of the earliest brick castles in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. It was built in the likeness of fortresses in Northern Europe, which were majestic structures with high stone walls, behind which was the garrison.

⠀

▪️ In the 14th century, the castle was stormed by the Teutonic Knights a number of times. Only once, in 1384, it was seized and partially ruined.

⠀

▪️ Famously built on sand, Castle has withstood 7 centuries of battles and occupations of the surrounding land.

⠀

📝 There is a famous story about the heroic defense of the fortress. Legend has it that in 1394 Prince Korbut, despite the obvious defeat, ordered all the soldiers to defend the castle to the last breath, but he escaped through the secret passage, leaving his troops alone with the adversaries. The outcome of this battle is not difficult to imagine: all the soldiers perished through the fault of the Korbut. Since then, their ghosts roam the coridors of the castle.

Скрытая жемчужина Беларуси - Лидский замок

⠀

🎦 Выставка шлемов и доспехов, изготовленных в нашей мастерской, проходит в Лидском замке

⠀

Факты о замке:

▪️ Лидский замок был построен в 1323-1328 гг. на слиянии рек Лида и Каменка великим князем литовским Гедимином.

⠀

▪️ Это один из первых кирпичных замков Великого княжества Литовского. Он был построен по подобию крепостей Северной Европы, которые представляли собой величественные сооружения с высокими каменными стенами, за которыми находился гарнизон.

⠀

▪️ В XIV в. замок неоднократно штурмовали тевтонские рыцари. Только однажды, в 1384 г., он был захвачен и частично разрушен.

⠀

▪️ Замок, построенный на песке, выдержал 7 веков сражений и захватов прилегающих земель.

⠀

📝 Есть известная история о героической обороне крепости. Легенда гласит, что в 1394 г. князь Дмитрий Корибут, несмотря на очевидное поражение, отдал приказ своим воинам защищать замок до посл��днего вздоха, а сам сбежал через потайной ход, оставив свои войска наедине с противником. Исход этой битвы представить нетрудно: все воины погибли. С тех пор их призраки бродят по старинным галереям замка.

🇺🇸 The War Theatre is a Theatre After All

My words are addressed exlusively to those people who apparently possess neither logic nor the common sense. I will try to explain why the anticipated "jump" of the AFU towards Kherson (just as an intent, they are unlikely to take the city because we are not going to withdraw from there) is purely a media operation. 

What would an adequate military command do if the enemy is expected to bring new reserves to the front in a fortnight? Let me remind you that Russia has just mobilized 300 thousand new soldiers—the number that it took Ukraine six months to muster.

For Zelensky, mobilizing more people would be very difficult (as an aside, Russians are able easily to call up even more, because the mobilization resource is that much larger). At first glance it seems that it is absolutely necessary for Ukraine to go forward as quickly as possible, conquering as much territory as possible. In this case it seems logical to set up as the goal reaching the Dnieper river, if possible even capturing Kherson itself. Everything seems reasonable on paper.

But let's take a closer look at this decision, placing it into the real context: AFU will have to overcome significant distances from the line of contact to Kherson—about 20, 40, and 100 km respectively from each of Pravdino, Snigiryovka, and Dudchany.

Let's assume that it would take the Ukrainians a week or two to make such a spurt. But in what condition will they reach the city? I assure you that the Russians will not give up the territory as they did in the Kharkov region: both the grouping in the south is different, and reinforcements are being brought in every day, and artillery and aviation act impeccably. Just the other day the AFU already tried to make such a jump from Dudchany and Novaya Kamenka, and the Russian Army turned them back and made them pay the price of not less than an entire regiment. 

So, the Ukrainian jump to Kherson—if it materializes in earnest—has every chance of being remembered as "bloody hell" for the Ukrainian Army itself. Having lost several regiments and up to a division in the watermelon fields under artillery and aviation fire, the battered Ukrainian army would emerge to be met by a fresh Russian defensive grouping, reinforced by several waves of reservists, in the urban area of Kherson. The question "what will happen next?" is rather unnecesary. 

Thus, the decision to go to Kherson on the eve of the dramatic strengthening of the Russian grouping in the south, under current conditions (coordinated artillery/aircraft work), appears to be an exceptionally disastrous choice for the AFU. From the military point of view it makes no practical sense.

But such a decision can be taken, and it would be a political one. Another "victory" of the AFU in the form of reclaiming significant territory would show the American electorate that Joe Biden was not wrong and his military assistance helped, and that it would therefore help in the future as well. Meanwhile, the emergence of a direct threat to Kherson and the incursion into its suburbs would then start hitting Vladimir Putin's rating very hard. What will happen next, within the current electoral cycle, no one is interested in. That will be a story for another time.

In my opinion, this is a purely political performance, as well as designed to impress the media. And as for the brainwashed Ukrainians and their support group, let them revel in another media success. It will not matter in the end, whatever they decide to do.

Sincerly yours, Ꙃаставный Source: Pablo Escobar on Telegram

🇩🇪 Das Kriegstheater ist doch ein Theater

Meine Worte richten sich exklusiv an jene Menschen, die anscheinend weder Logik noch gesunden Menschenverstand besitzen. Ich werde versuchen zu erklären, warum der erwartete „Sprung“ der AFU in Richtung Kherson (nur als Absicht, sie sind unwahrscheinlich, die Stadt zu nehmen, weil wir uns nicht von dort zurückziehen werden) rein eine mediale Operation ist.

Was würde ein angemessenes militärisches Kommando tun, wenn man erwartet, dass der Feind in vierzehn Tagen neue Reserven an die Front bringt? Lassen Sie mich daran erinnern, dass Russland gerade 300 tausend neue Soldaten mobilisiert hat - die Zahl, die die Ukraine sechs Monate brauchte, um sie aufzubringen.

Für Zelensky wäre es sehr schwierig, mehr Menschen zu mobilisieren (abgesehen davon sind die Russen leicht in der Lage, noch mehr aufzurufen, weil die Mobilisierungsressource so viel größer ist). Auf den ersten Blick scheint es absolut notwendig zu sein, dass die Ukraine so schnell wie möglich voranschreitet und so viel Territorium wie möglich erobert. In diesem Fall erscheint es logisch, als Ziel den Fluss Dnepr zu erreichen, wenn möglich sogar Kherson selbst einzunehmen. Auf dem Papier scheint alles vernünftig.

Aber schauen wir uns diese Entscheidung genauer an und stellen sie in den realen Kontext: Die AFU wird bedeutende Entfernungen von der Kontaktlinie nach Kherson überwinden müssen - etwa 20, 40 bzw. 100 km von Pravdino, Snigiryovka und Dudchany.

Nehmen wir an, die Ukrainer brauchen ein oder zwei Wochen, um einen solchen Spurt zu machen. Aber in welchem Zustand werden sie die Stadt erreichen? Ich versichere Ihnen, dass die Russen das Territorium nicht aufgeben werden wie in der Region Charkow: Sowohl die Gruppierung im Süden ist unterschiedlich, und Verstärkung wird jeden Tag eingebracht, und Artillerie und Luftfahrt handeln einwandfrei. Erst neulich versuchte die AFU, einen solchen Sprung von Dudchany und Nowaja Kamenka zu machen, und die russische Armee drehte sie zurück und ließ sie den Preis von nicht weniger als einem ganzen Regiment bezahlen.

So hat der ukrainische Sprung nach Kherson - wenn er sich ernsthaft verwirklicht - jede Chance, als „blutige Hölle“ für die ukrainische Armee selbst in Erinnerung zu bleiben. Nach dem Verlust mehrerer Regimenter und bis zu einer Division in den Wassermelonenfeldern unter Artillerie- und Luftfahrtfeuer würde die gebeutelte ukrainische Armee entstehen, um von einer frischen russischen Verteidigungsgruppe, verstärkt durch mehrere Wellen von Reservisten, im Stadtgebiet von Kherson getroffen zu werden. Die Frage „Was wird als nächstes passieren?“ ist eher unnötig.

So scheint die Entscheidung, am Vorabend der dramatischen Stärkung der russischen Gruppierung im Süden unter den derzeitigen Bedingungen (koordinierte Artillerie/Flugzeugarbeit) nach Kherson zu gehen, eine außergewöhnlich katastrophale Wahl für die AFU zu sein. Aus militärischer Sicht ergibt dies keinen praktischen Sinn.

Aber eine solche Entscheidung kann getroffen werden, und es wäre eine politische. Ein weiterer „Sieg“ der AFU in Form der Rückeroberung bedeutenden Territoriums würde der amerikanischen Wählerschaft zeigen, dass Joe Biden nicht falsch war und seine militärische Hilfe half, und dass es daher auch in Zukunft helfen würde. In der Zwischenzeit würde, bei einer direkten Bedrohung für Kherson und der Einfall in seine Vororte, Wladimir Putins Bewertung sehr hart treffen. Was als nächstes passieren wird, innerhalb des aktuellen Wahlzyklus, interessiert eigentlich niemanden. Das wird eine Geschichte für eine andere Zeit sein.

Meiner Meinung nach handelt es sich hier um eine rein politische Performance, die die Medien beeindrucken soll. Und was die gehirngewaschenen Ukrainer und ihre Unterstützungstruppen betrifft, lassen Sie sie in einem weiteren Medienerfolg schwelgen. Es wird am Ende keine Rolle spielen, was immer sie auch tun wollen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Ꙃаставный

Kaminka [Kamenka] at 2 25/.. good station house and village, as said Gross, and we have come thro’ 3 good villages, he says between this and the last station – very cold night – at Ust Grasnoucha [Ust’-Gryaznukha] the station house also good – ditto at Jlowlensky but the good room or 2 not heated and we (A-‘s get were cold= were in the large room where the [?] sleep on a raised platform as in a soldiers guard room – and one bedstead near the stove a long bench-like stove with a boiler (iron – 18 to 20 in. diameter or more?) as we had in our room last night at Ust Salah, and as is perhaps the German fashion – very cold night – and somehow (at Kaminka [Kamenka] 2 25/.. a.m.) found I had got a coup de froid or something in my left eye which blocked it up and on arriving to breakfast (at 10 35/.. station kept by Russians Kamischini [[Kamyšin]) found it quite made up – steeped a little crumb of our roll in my tea, and thus opened and relieved the eye – much better than dabbing with any linen however fine – R-6° at 9 a.m. in our closed kibitka – on arriving here gave it to Gross who found it only R-5 ½° dehors on the snow, and when he brought it in at 11 it had risen dehors to -2 ½° - I dont understand this – breakfast over at 12 20/.. – wrote the above of today – off at 12 ¾ from Kamishini [Kamyšin], a nice

little villafgy gorod – 2 good churches – neat board-cottages, not log houses – the town finely situated on the high right bank of the Volga – drive down upon it along steep ravine as usual – a line of shipping at the foot of the town – nice little river port – glad to be on our Volga again – the left bank of the river higher than usual for some time after leaving Kamischini [Kamyšin] – at 2 55/.. Balaia Glinka little port and some shipping and steep ravine-ascent up to poorish little log station house but tolerable village and neat little white (wood-board) church – Scenery on the Volga same as usual – my Eye so bad could not look out much (the door open on my side) but Gross says we have only passed one little village on the hill with its little post between Kamischini [Kamyšin] and here (Balaia Glinka) – off again at 3 7/.. and down again upon the Volga – wicker (wattled willow) fences here and sheds, and little yards or pens, and good dung manure collected on the bank for the river to wash away, as at Pokrossky [Pokrovsky] and everywhere – the manure (says George) does not suit the land here! at 3 ½ little wicker-yarded village close at the waters’ edge – at 3 50/.. scene passing along a large wooded island (left) oak wood? up steep pitch and at 4 10/.. Wodianoy Boujerak the village situated on the top of the hill and down to the waters’ edge – no shipping – but good neat wood (board) white church with green corners and roof – the log-houses here plastered over and white or yellowish washed so as almost to make the log-walls look quite smooth and flat – all Russians here – tolerable station house – off again at 4 32/.., and down again upon the Volga by steep ravine-pitch as usual – Sandrock bank, and fallen masses of it lying along the foot of the bank – now 6 10/.. difficult to say which of my 2 eyes is the worst – what can be the matter with them? – up steep pitch – sheep in wattled pens at the very waters’ edge wattled village – and neat little church – large village – in squares – standing on much ground – at one station (Bolickley [Balyklei]) (nice, little log house) at 6 20/.. in our room a large square curtained bed in one corner as at Ust Salah, and single windows – meant to go 16v. farther to Proleyki to tea, but George said it was a mere cottage – difficult to find a samovar – 40v. to a Gorod (Dubowka [Dubovka]) 58v. to D- settled to stay here, and to sleep at D-, and hearing that George had a bad headache from the cold – as if something “travaillait dans sa tête’ a coup de froid, the wind so cold – It seems, too, that it is the cold wind that has affected my eyes – there always something says George where one travels in winter – but he says he has often been much worse – it is nothing – and does not wish to stop – ‘tis now 8 20/.. – to be off – off at 8 35/.. and at 10 ¾ at Proleyki a village and poor little cottage-like station house – at 12 10/.. Sanodnoy village – very dark, and my eyes so bad could hardly grope along with light or without – largeish, apparently, and dirty, unsleepable station house – George would have it, at first, to be Dubowka [Dubovka] I get out at every station for a minute or 2 – fine day but cold wind –
