    Okay, I’ll bite. What, in your personal opinion, is the reason for Russian military do blow up the dam? What is the benefit?

        And I could easily flip the question around to OP. Why would Ukraine blow up their own dam, flooding their own territory and potentially crippling their own nuclear power plant? And making a counteroffensive across the Dnipro river that much harder?

        It’s not to deprive Crimea of water ahead of the counteroffensive, Crimea’s reservoirs are full right now so they’ve got a year’s worth in the tank. That’s about the only possible benefit I can think of that Ukraine might have got out of this, and even if it were so it would be a trivial benefit compared to the costs. Crimea’s water supply isn’t going to make a difference to the actual fight that’s about to happen there.

      It’s… it’s a war zone, dude. What do you think happened? The dam just exploded all by itself?

        There are only 2 types of people who deny that Russia blew up the pipeline:

        1. People who have a vested interest in supporting Russia’s imperialism and denying their crimes
        2. Idiots

          Putin is not a communist and no serious communist claims otherwise, being against NATO and the US’s proxy war against Russia does not mean that I support Putin and his horrible government.

          Poland, NATO say missile strike wasn’t a Russian attack

          PRZEWODOW, Poland (AP) — NATO member Poland and the head of the military alliance both said Wednesday that a missile strike in Polish farmland that killed two people appeared to be unintentional and was probably launched by air defenses in neighboring Ukraine.

          “Ukraine’s defense was launching their missiles in various directions, and it is highly probable that one of these missiles unfortunately fell on Polish territory,” said Polish President Andrzej Duda. “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, to suggest that it was an intentional attack on Poland.”

          Edit: downvoted for correcting misinfo quoting NATO and the Polish government, that’s pretty funny :P

              I see, I read it as a serious claim of them doing it since it was a pretty common talking point a few months ago, sorry hehe :P
