Key point from yesterday - local expert says explosion had to have come from inside the dam.

A 🧵 examining the Russian argument - and the nonsense that it is.
One thing that I'd add to @mfphhh here is -- Russians are doing the opposite, they are shooting at people under their occupation who are trying to leave, go away from floodwaters.

Despite how much water there was in Kakhovka reservoir, this will help. Normal reaction of course.

A year of dropping grenades/mortar shells into Russian tanks' hatches is paying off.
And, contrast this with the Russians who shoot at both people in territories they occupy trying to evacuate and Ukrainian drones trying to keep them alive.

Mitigation plans in full force - even before a replacement dam will be build, irrigation systems might be resuscitated.

How the destruction of the dam benefits the Russian military, a 🧵.
If only that could speak to Russian motives. 😅

Note that Saldo, the head of the occupation administration, likewise claims the flooding benefits Russia.
So that's one of tankies' favoured arguments out of the way, yet again.

Russian propagandists think flooding hundreds of thousands of civilians is a great idea.
Who could possibly have done it, eh?

This is a very interesting highlight from @dkaleniuk. And this is something Russian combat engineers would either be well aware of, or would at least have consultants who would be. (c.f. Rosatom participating in occupation of the ZNPP.)

And we know Russians bragged about having mined the dam back in October. Zelenskyy publicised the possibility plenty also: 🔗bbc.com/news/world-eur…
And note tweet 2/ above: Ukrhydroprojekt chief engineer makes it clear the blast came from inside.

Russians shelling evacuation efforts. Those trying to save Ukrainians are, of course, a danger to their goals.

Because Russians want to kill Ukrainians. That is their goal. Where floodwaters weren't enough, they employ other means on top of that.

Interesting point on water for irrigation in Crimea - Russians might indeed be deluded enough to have thought two years of storage are enough.

Yeah, coincidences like this happen all the time, right? Russians love their bureaucracy, and it often telegraphs their intentions.
I held back on noting this decree, lacking ability to authenticate, but am more confident now @michaeldweiss noted it.

Russian shelling of Kherson continues, as do Ukrainian evacuation and mitigation efforts.
How will Russian propagandists cover this one?
