Most people in #Ukraine will find their electricity switched off for at least 4 hours, some face longer black outs.
This is due to the targeting of power plants by #Russia. The Terrorists cheerily advocate freezing and starving ordinary civilians:

Two for the price of one today from the #UK Defence Ministry.
They concur with my view that #Russia is "seriously considering" a withdrawal from #Kherson region north/west of the river. But it won't be easy with escape routes few and far between.

One very likely, horrific, consequence of #Russia's withdrawal will be an attack on the Hydroelectric plant at #Kakhovka.
As @TheStudyofWar notes, the groundwork for a false flag sabotage has already been laid.
A double-whammy of flooding from the burst dam and more power cuts.

The BBC publishes a detailed eye witness (video) account of life under occupation in #Kherson.
A news article with the link is here, sadly the full programme is only available in the UK thus far.

I know I shouldn't respond to trolls, but let's do a fact check on "Nazism"
Wiki says it's:
1 A form of fascism
2 A disdain for liberal democracy
3 Incorporates a dictatorship
4 Fervent racism.
For #Russia ✅✅✅✅
For #Ukraine❌❌❌❌
Case closed!

There have been widespread air raid warnings again for #Ukraine in the last hour or two.
Residents in #Mykolaiv (#Nikolaev) have reported explosions: Gov Vitaliy Kim confirms S300 missiles hit the city but "no casualties, only lawns damaged"
Overnight they shot down 14 drones

Local news channel in #Enerhodar (RU: #Energodar) reports a lot of movement of #Russia's troops.
Looks like they're fleeing the city. The channel reports they committed mass robbery of the "Skifsky" hotel, looting everything possible: TVs, fridges, furniture, kettles and more.

Meanwhile a #Russia propaganda channel claims the Occupiers have repaired a bridge in #Enerhodar within 3 hours.
They laud it as a symbol of Russian achievement. In reality a necessity to escape with their stolen goods.

Arsonists in #Germany have set fire to an hotel sheltering refugees from #Ukraine.

However the kremlin claims the Ukrainians "were hit, the situation was restored."

#Ukraine's intelligence has found and stopped an enemy bot farm in Dnipro.
Security agents say it created almost 10,000 fake accounts to "disperse" Kremlin propaganda in the EU.

A certain irony today in the fact that a court in St Petersburg has recognised the siege of the city (then Leningrad) as genocide.
#Russia's siege of #Mariupol and current attempts at freezing and starving all of #Ukraine of course couldn't possibly be similar to the Nazis!

It cost much, much more to destroy the city including thousands of lives. Yet, none of this was necessary. Think of the good that could have been done for the poor and for healthcare in Russia with this money

In the small Russian village of #Murom in #Belgorod region, a lot of shelling today.
No tactical targets, so quite possibly more of #Russia's terror tactics to keep its own civilians in check.
A kindergarten, school and a doctor's office were among the buildings damaged.

In his evening address, President #Zelenskyy echoes what I wrote this morning - that there is a real risk that #Russia will destroy the dam at the #Kakhovka hydroelectric plant.
"Everyone in the world must act powerfully and quickly to prevent another Russian terrorist attack."

#Ukraine has likely hit the #Antonivskyi bridge in #Kherson region again.
Not easy to see here but at least two explosions seem to happen on, or near to, the bridge
The time stamp is from shortly after 9pm this evening.

On local chat sites in #Kherson oblast some write they saw 7 ambulances heading to the #Antonivskyi bridge and behind them a white passenger Jeep.
It's quite possible #Russia was trying to transport some military gear, supplies or troops over the battered bridge.

The Occupiers admit #Ukraine hit the #Antonivskyi bridge. #Russia says it shot down 11 of 12 missiles.
But they claim civilians were crossing, three were killed and 9 injured in the one blast.
Of course none of this can be proven and seems very unlikely

Oops.. someone pointed out it's Martial Law in #Kherson and no one should've been on the bridge.
But those clever Russkies now say the killed/injured were observing the curfew, sleeping in cars, waiting to be able to cross.
But the video shows a hit on the bridge, not the end!
