Today, the Rus. startegic bombers Tu-95 from outside of Ukr. airspace targeted Kryviy Rih city with 3-6 cruise missiles X-101. Allegedly, a damb & pump station of Karachun resevior on #Ingulets river was ruined, water rushed into the lower city, water supply partially disrupted.
[2] The water level in #Ingulets river in Kryvyi Rih city is currently raising. The reason for this Rus. attack is to ruin (with the flow of water from Karachun reservior) those Ukr. pontoon bridges across #Ingulets to stop supplies for the counteroffensive in #Kherson prov-ce.
[3] One more video from Kryvyi Rih city where the #Ingulets river is currently flooding due to Russian missile attack on the damb of the Karachun reservior and the water pumping station that supplies the lower part of the city.

Since the start of the counteroffensive, I face rudeness, arrogance, and insults from some of followers (i.e. with Ukrainian & NAFO IDs) in comments & PMs. Plus, many from Russia rushed to follow me. I don't take insults personally. But someone isn't happy that Ukraine is winning
[2] To insult me ppl tweeted and messaged that 1) my hair is gray, 2) my English sucks, 3) my analysis is too simple & thus not useful, 4) I am another Trent Telenko (Who is that?), 5) I tweet smth to click-bite & get more followers.
#Ukraine confirmed that it struck the Russian air bases on the occupied #Crimean peninsula. This is an element of the victorious war strategy described a bit by the UAF Chief Commander Gen. Zaluzhniy in his article published today by @UKRINFORM [Thread⬇️] ukrinform.ua/rubric-ato/356…
[2] Gen. Zaluzhniy's article is a semi-academic analysis of chances & opportunities for the enemy & the UAF for the 2013 bcs - as he says - "there're all reasons to think that it [war] will go behind the calendar limits of 2022".
[3] Gen. Zaluzhniy emphasises on the need for "several consecutive, and ideally simultaneous counteroffensives" during 2023. He also assumes that 2023, not 2022 (as many hope) has a chance to be a transformational year when the UAF may get an advantage over the RAF.
