What the Kakhovka Reservoir looks like today nearly two weeks after the Kakhovka dam was blown up by the Russian military.

The small square body of water to the bottom of the image is the cooling pond for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. pic.twitter.com/SWTFA0veCU

The use of rocket-projected mine-clearing line charge by Ukrainian forces in real combat conditions, (something like the American M58 MICLIC or Soviet UR-77). Said to be Zaporizhzhia front. pic.twitter.com/IXd7x2l1KS

1,5 years in and 2000+ destroyed tanks later, Peskov seems to have realised that NATO countries are getting more and more involved in the conflict. I'm not even talking about his ridiculous claim about the demilitarisation of Ukraine. As if there's anything else Russia can do… pic.twitter.com/TqMkxwXE7d

I like their argument that Ukraine was heavily militarized before their attack last year. Ukraine spent below $6 billion per year for their military before 2022. As much as Switzerland and a bit more than Portugal. And that with Russia as neighbour and with what happened 2014.

Owning hundreds of old Soviet tanks doesn't make you heavily militarized. They weren't meant to take over world lol
