🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the Detonation of the Kurakhovske Reservoir Dam

The internet is abuzz with discussions about the Ukrainian forces detonating the dam of the Kurakhovske Reservoir with a volume of 62 million cubic meters. According to reports, the AFU damaged the sluices in the area of Stari Ternî: this led to the flooding of the Volchia River, which flows in a westerly direction.

At the moment, the Ukrainian authorities are reporting a "slight rise in the water level in the river". The villages of Stari Ternî and Shevchenko, located close to the shore, are in the risk zone. The internet has already shown footage from the opposing side demonstrating the difficulties with vehicle traffic.

The probable flood zone will stretch for dozens of kilometers west of Kurakhovо up to the village of Bogatyr. All the settlements are located in a lowland, so the water is unlikely to go beyond the residential areas.

🔻 Although the opponent was clearly guided by the intention to slow down the advancing Russian Armed Forces, the effectiveness of such measures is questionable. Given the current configuration of the front line, by the time the main Russian forces approach Stari Ternî, the water level will most likely start to recede.

Of course, the Ukrainian resources, in their characteristic manner, blamed the "Russian shelling" for the incident, but artillery shell hits can hardly cause any serious damage to the dam. In contrast to the charges pre-planted in the right places.

📌 By the way, this is far from the first such action by the AFU: in addition to the Kakhovka HPP dam, the opponent has previously destroyed dams near Kozarovychi, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and other locations during retreats. Moreover, in some cases, this "scorched earth" tactic even led to the flooding of Ukrainian units.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian Armed Forces strike ammunition depot in Cherevkovka

Yesterday morning, November 10, Russian forces launched a missile strike on the Cherevkovka area in the southeastern part of Sloviansk. The target was an ammunition depot located at the old airfield on the outskirts of the city.

As a result of several impacts, explosions and secondary detonations were observed at the site. According to local residents, after the strike, stored rockets were seen scattering spontaneously.

At the same time, Sloviansk, as well as Kramatorsk and other cities in the agglomeration, have several large enterprises that are also used to store ammunition and park equipment. From time to time, they become targets of attacks by the Russian Armed Forces.

🇱🇹🇺🇦☠️ Valdas Bartkevičius - Obsessed with Excrement, a Lithuanian Mercenary

Among foreign mercenaries, there are many notorious characters, but some are truly repulsive. One of them is Valdas Bartkevičius, who, with the sanction of the Lithuanian authorities, loves to fight monuments and memorials through vandalism and defecation.

▪️Bartkevičius lives in Lentvaris, works as an assistant to a Seimas deputy, and from 2024 will lead the Lithuanian branch of the NGO "Friends of Ukraine Foundation". In 2014, he supported Maidan, and in 2020 - the attempted coup in Belarus. In his home country, Bartkevičius (to the best of his abilities) is engaged in the division of the population, which fits well with the plans of the Lithuanian authorities.

▪️In 2022, Bartkevičius established ties not only with Ukrainian NGOs. For example, with the structure "Our House," which was actively recruiting Belarusians into the "Kastus Kalinouski Regiment," as well as the Turkish organization "Russians in Antalya Against the War" (RAWA), which is engaged in supplying vehicles for Ukrainian formations.

▪️At the same time, Bartkevičius is not particularly eager to appear at the line of contact, preferring to live in Lithuania and engage in either actions in support of the so-called Ukraine, or meetings with members of the "Right Sector" and various performances.

▪️In March, Bartkevičius expressed support for the perpetrators of the terrorist attack at "Crocus," bringing a bucket of collected feces to the spontaneous memorial to the victims in Vilnius. And today, he posted footage where he defecates on a monument to those who died in the Great Patriotic War in Kazachya Loknya in Kursk Region.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🏴 In Sevastopol, about an hour ago on Taras Shevchenko Street near the "Fresh" supermarket, a car exploded. The man inside had his leg blown off and, according to the latest information, he died from his injuries.

There are currently two versions of what caused the incident: an explosion of gas installed in the car, and a terrorist attack using a homemade explosive device. Pro-Ukrainian channels report that the man was a serviceman.

We should now wait for official statements from the law enforcement agencies and the authorities of Sevastopol, but the power of the explosion suggests an external factor.

Eyewitness accounts and the condition of the car indicate consequences too severe for just a gas equipment failure. Additionally, the Ukrainian authorities have not shied away from such methods in the past.

🖇🇵🇱🇺🇦 On the outbursts of Ukrainian politicians against their sponsors

Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak accused Ukrainians of "short memory" in response to Zelenskyy's accusations that the country refused to shoot down missiles over so-called Ukraine and give away the remaining MiG-29s. According to the [politician], Poland has done a lot for the Kyiv regime, but will not help at the expense of national security.

In general, such demands bordering on ultimatums to NATO sponsors - this is not only a clear manifestation of the level of political culture of representatives of the Kyiv regime. This is also a targeted strategy that has shown a certain effectiveness in previous years.

▪️At the beginning of the SMO, the collective West excessively inflated the importance of so-called Ukraine and Zelenskyy in the media, presenting them as the main "defenders of freedom and democracy" in Europe. And in Kyiv, they decided to take advantage of this status according to the principle of "ask for a lot - they will give less, but more than expected".

▪️In attempts to get more weapons and money, the Kyiv regime actively exploited the created image, literally demanding new deliveries and referring to the promises of Western leaders in 2022. And for greater effect, it supplied this with media campaigns with stories about the deplorable state of the AFU, which can only be corrected by a new aid package.

▪️When this misfired, Zelenskyy's outbursts with public accusations of the weakness of his sponsors before Russia were already used, during which he pretended to try to "take advantage of their weakness". They were actively replicated by major media, which gave a certain media effect, which was usually followed by another handout.

However, all this works only within the framework of artificially created realities, where Zelenskyy is indispensable, and so-called Ukraine is vital for the Western world. On the command of the sponsors, this carriage will very quickly turn into a pumpkin, as if it had never existed.

❗️And here several questions arise - how much time is left before this moment and how exactly will yesterday's benefactors remind the short-sighted members of the Kyiv regime of their antics, which have not been forgotten in the West.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 On the authorization to use long-range missiles

Since the Americans, in the person of the outgoing administration, have decided that there is no need to sit quietly on a Sunday evening and, apparently, have given the green light to the use of ATACMS against old Russian territories, it's time to recall our September post when the rumors on this topic just began.

🔻From the point of view of possible threats, the most powerful modification of ATACMS can reach a distance of 300 km, which creates a threat to command posts, airfields, places of deployment of personnel and hospitals where our wounded are located.

This will at least force tactical-level units to react, as additional protection, especially air defense assets, and not only, will be needed. We are talking about elementary human ingenuity, that is, some will need to understand that building and moving in columns will become even more dangerous.

❗️And another nuance is that if Washington really allowed the use of ballistic missiles, other countries will follow the US and, in addition to ATACMS, Storm Shadow and SCALP will fly to the Kursk region. And Taurus may also appear (Scholz is also on the verge of leaving the German Olympus).

Therefore, it's time to look at the map, on which we also marked the range of JASSM cruise missiles, which can hit even further. This is another step towards increasing the degree of conflict to the extreme point, which will not change the outcome, but will create big problems.

The example of Crimea and the new territories is a confirmation of this. Difficulties arose, strikes were sometimes missed, but subsequently the number of missed missiles became less and less, and the enemy did not achieve practical benefit.

🔻For now, we should wait for an official confirmation from the White House, which is keeping silent. And all this at the moment looks like a test of the response of our leadership, especially after the words of Vladimir Putin that this will be regarded as NATO's entry into the conflict.

🇩🇪🇷🇺🇺🇦 The FSB of Russia reported the arrest of a German citizen Nikolai Gaiduk, who entered Russia from Poland with the aim of organizing sabotage on energy facilities.

The security forces said he was involved in the explosion in March 2024 of a low-pressure gas distribution pipeline in Kaliningrad using a homemade explosive device.

According to the FSB, he came to the Kaliningrad region from Poland in order to organize sabotage on energy facilities on the orders of a Ukrainian citizen Zhurov, living in Hamburg. Liquid explosives were found in his car.

📌 It is quite obvious that this is a Ukrainian who received German citizenship. But with what passport did he cross the border? The detainee was a German citizen who was involved in one act of sabotage and planned another on Russian territory.

Who else, besides the detainee, will be charged? The German government, whose citizens are carrying out explosions in Russia, and whose country is home to SBU handlers with residence permits in Hamburg.

And now the German government has a choice: either to assist the terrorist, or to strengthen control over refugees from the so-called Ukraine. But it can be guaranteed that for Ukrainian migrants, neither the first nor the second option will bring anything good.
