All because Zelensky would not capitulate to his Russian master and surrender or allow his people to surrender

Zelensky is the real war criminal here, motivated by pride.

whoever did blow up the dam, might've been inspired from the film Force 10 from Navarone, in which they also blew up a dam using explosives

Trouble is Nicky
in this water is a oil leak
so this is no longer pure, clean water.

wars are all about misinformation and propaganda. It's best just to watch how things develop and resolve themselves

Bombing dams, as well as other structures including nuclear plants, has been expressly forbidden under the Geneva Convention since the 70s. A war crimes trial has to be somewhere in Russia's future.

down.

Did I not say that Zelensky is the war criminal here? For all we know, the dam burst is a false flag operation. He probably got his buddies in the Pentagon to shoot down that airliner to blame it on the Russians.

You do know that you're not supposed to think critically? Why don't you just go along with what the people inside your television tells you?

Ahhh... You're going to claim Devil's Advocate again. It allows people to express their own skewed view without having to stand up and be counted.

Why is it the people who claim to back Putin think they're the critical thinkers? Where do you claim to get your news? Is it somewhere the rest of us mere mortals can't access?

Don't bother responding. I'm putting you on ignore for the deep tedium your posts bring which outweighs any slight amusement.

Sorry for your loss

I thought "baseless conspiracy theories" were what a number of people here bought into. So just adding one more to see who might actually buy into this one.

Remember the Royal family are just alien lizards, allegedly...

Ukraine has attacked a bridge linking southern Ukraine to the Crimean peninsula with long-range British missiles, Russian officials say.

The two parallel Chonhar bridges were both damaged but no-one was hurt, said the Russian-installed governor in occupied Kherson Vladimir Saldo.

He said it was likely British Storm Shadow missiles were used in an attack "ordered by London".

The bridge is the shortest route from Crimea to the front line in the south.

It is also an important link to the occupied city of Melitopol, which lies on the coastal route from the Russian border across southern Ukraine to Crimea.

Photos posted by Vladimir Saldo showed a gaping hole in one of the two bridges, but he said repairs would be made quickly and vehicles would take an alternative route temporarily.

Russia uses the road as a land bridge to Crimea, and Melitopol is thought to be one of the targets of Ukraine's counter-offensive, which began in the southern region of Zaporizhzhia earlier this month.

Russian forces seized the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 and then in February last year they invaded Ukraine's southern coastal region too.

Last autumn Ukraine recaptured the Kherson region north of the Dnipro river. The Kakhovka dam on the river was destroyed this month in a suspected Russian sabotage attack which has made a Ukrainian offensive across the Dnipro much harder.

Ukraine's offensive has made slow progress, claiming the recapture of eight villages so far.

Russian forces have continued to target Ukrainian cities including a residential area of President Volodymyr Zelensky's home city of Kryvyih Rih and the southern port of Odesa overnight.

President Zelensky told Ukrainians on Thursday that intelligence services had received information that Russia was preparing the "scenario of a terrorist attack" on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, seized during the full-scale invasion last year.

The plant is the biggest in Europe and Mr Zelensky warned that "radiation has no state borders". The Kremlin immediately rejected his comments as "another lie".

Although the plant's six reactors have all been shut down, the UN's atomic energy agency warned on Wednesday that the safety and security situation there was "extremely fragile".

Water levels in a channel used to cool the reactors have declined since the Kakhovka dam was destroyed and the UN agency said the situation around the plant had become increasingly tense amid reports of Ukraine's counter-offensive.
