Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Holding elections during a war is illegal under most democratic constitutions throughout Europe and North America. It's based on the principle that people can only vote freely when all sources of violence and intimidation are removed. Or in layman's terms, during peacetime we vote, during a war we simply kick your head in and vote on it later.
Russia doesn't care about the well-being of its own population; you should know they consider the "khokhols" to be subhuman mongrels worth even less consideration. Proof can be seen in how the population of the occupied Donbas has been treated by Russia.
The Nova Khakovka dam was destroyed by Russia. For proof of this we have:
- The simple fact that the dam was destroyed from the inside. It was built to withstand nuclear bombardment, so there's no way even a GMLRS volley or a Storm Shadow would have done it. The technical installations with access to the maintenance tunnels inside the dam were entirely controlled by Russian occupation forces.
- Russian soldiers boasted about having blown it up.
- The best Russian troops in the downstream area had been replaced by untrained conscripts and prisoners before.
- Russia had just passed a law forbidding to investigate the causes of a dam's destruction. Why the hell would they do that if they weren't planning to destroy a dam?
- Russia had likewise previously denounced the Geneva Convention that classifies destroying dams as a war crime.
- Putin said the dam's destruction was to the advantage of Russia.
- While Ukrainian forces were distracted trying to rescue people; Russian forces were busy shelling the rescue operations and the civilian shelters and food distribution points.
It's you who forget that the Ukrainians intend to live peacefully in the territory that is theirs. Russia is in full "if I can't have it; I will break it" mode. Your vision of the facts is distorted by your compulsive need to see Russia as some sort of innocent little victim that has just been forced -- forced -- by the mean Westies to commit a lot of war crimes against her will.

Zelensky showing ‘authoritarian traits’, says Swiss intelligence report
Ukraine is at a “critical point” as it heads towards presidential elections in 2024, says a confidential report by the Federal Intelligence Service.

Here's the UAF testing Russian bulletproof plates and going away impressed.
1. Dam breaks are common during monsoon. Underwater mines sent downriver can do the trick. Plus mines can be rigged to blow when they are inside the dam's gates. A timer can do the trick.
2. Lol. Clickbait.
3. That's how it works across the entire front. They keep inexperienced troops in the front, and then send in experienced reinforcements at the point of contact so that they enter the fight fresh. The inexperienced troops are rotated out.
4. 'Cause there's no point in doing that. Whether they did it or not, they are either lying or telling the truth based on Western interests anyway. This is something that can be investigated only after the war is over, with independent experts.
5. They are still part of the Geneva Convention. Their complaint is they are not represented in the Venice Commission. A warranted issue when the commission is represented by their enemies. It was created to be used against Russia in the first place.
6. I'd really like a source, if you have it.
7. Yes, 'cause the UAF were assembling in the name of relief efforts. The Russians were behaving exactly the way anyone would when taken by surprise.
You should read up about what they said about Ukrainians during the pre-war era. Apparently today Prigozhin has a small penis and likes to hump only 18yo virgins. That's how childish their narrative-building is.
germans & japanese have become absolute c***s , winning or losing is fine but losing self esteem and becoming absolute puppets is totally disgraceful.
There's no monsoon in Ukraine. And no, this is bullshit. There are grates and filters to prevent FOD damage to the hydro power plant. And even ignoring that, fluid dynamics is far too complex for this silly plan of your to have any chance of success.
No, they don't rotate troops at all.
You find them the stupidest excuses. I bet you supported the Russian thesis that MH-17 was shot down by a Ukrainian Su-25, too?
Anyways, independent experts will find out that the explosions was triggered by a bomb placed by the Russians inside the dam. Not by some
Putin denounced the Additional Protocol I in 2019. That's the one where destroying dams is classified as a war crime.
Hard to find it back, but it was in an interview where he argued that the Ukrainians had made a mistake because while it did weaken Russian positions on the left bank, it also made crossing impossible and Russia would have the time to rebuild their position before the flood subsides.
No; Russia shelled civilian, humanitarian efforts, so this forced the Ukrainian special forces to do this work. Russia did nothing to evacuate civilians in flooded areas under their control, by the way.
And before breaking the dam, the Russians had let the water build up as much as possible, so that the flood would be as disastrous as possible. Part of that is that the right bank of the Dnipro is more elevated, so since they wanted to flood Kherson city they had to go all the way about it.
It's kind of like what they're doing with the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, putting reactors out of cold idle and placing explosives everywhere. When it'll look like that the Ukrainians are going to liberate Enerhodar, then they'll blow it all up and all the Russian kool-aid drinkers will claim that obviously it was done by the Ukrainians because why would Russia damage a land it wants to claim? They'd never do that; only the people who actually live there would want to damage their own land, obviously, that makes sense when your brain is on Kremlin propaganda.
That's what losing wars does to a populace. So the lesson: don't get into fights you cannot win.
El Nino dropped a lot of water in Ukraine.

They do. What you are referring to is R&R, not relief.
"Russians"? No. Separatists? Yes.
But I make my opinions based on geopolitics, not from such one-off incidents.
Sure. Maybe you can list out all the advantages the Russians get doing that.
No. Article I is much more interesting.
Protocol I - Wikipedia
India isn't a party to it either. Same issue. 'Cause we have land under foreign occupation.
Second is the problem of other countries hiding military equipment among civilians.
Some of it is too idealistic as well.
That's basically him saying they have enough time to rebuild defences lost in the flood. Nothing in that says Russia is advantaged by that.
The Russians had already evacuated citizens from warzones, as they have everywhere else.
It didn't matter how much the dam fills up, the other side is still at a much higher elevation, so it was impossible to flood Kherson in the first place. Only one or two towns and some hamlets were flooded on the other side.
IAEA has seen no sign of explosives at Zaporizhzhia yet, more access needed
Experts from the U.N. nuclear watchdog based at the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine have yet to observe any indications of mines or explosives at the plant, but they need more access to be sure, the agency said on Wednesday.
What was that about my brain on Western propaganda? Wonder why there are no pictures of said explosives...
How many of them actually get that though? Apparently China has been supplying them vests anyway.Here's the UAF testing Russian bulletproof plates and going away impressed.
The report is incorrect, there won't even be elections in 2024 if the war is still going. In proper democracies it is illegal to hold an election unless the people are free from violence and intimidation. As for removing the likes of the Communist Party, that's basically like removing the Nazi Party in Eastern Europe. They have no chance of winning anyway, they're just annoying people. As for banning pro-Russian parties after a Russian invasion and annexation, well duh, of course, just like Oswald Mosley was put under house arrest during WWII. I mean seriously, they've killed so many thousands of our people, raped x many women and children, dug the odd mass grave but sure we'll allow you to publicly support them and campaign for government. It'd be like having ISIS run for office in India.Referring to removing opponents from challenging him.

Very odd how you never complain once about Putin killing prominent opponents and critics, or locking people up for criticising the war in a private phone call.
One might call that hypocrisy.
