#NovaKakhovka MAJOR FLOOD UPDATE, Dariivka (Thread): 1/ The information in this thread only applies to Dariivka and surrounding settlements, such as Fedorivka and Ingulets.
2/ 👍 First, the good news!
The flood waters have largely receded, as you can see in the video. The trees you see in the video were all submerged, and now stand well above the water.
3/ Everyone in these settlements has been saved - no casualties, no one drowned.
Everyone is provided with food, water and medicine - and humanitarian aid (images below) continues to arrive, provided by a number of humanitarian and volunteer organizations. 3/ twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
4/ 👍👍 Now, the VERY good news:
Peoples houses have largely survived being submerged, and can be cleaned and repaired! This is actually a big relief, as this was something we were very worried about. 4/ twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
5/ 👎 The bad news:
The damage inside people's houses is extreme. Those whose houses were submerged have lost everything. Here's a video of the inside of Yulia's house, which I'd posted an image of earlier when it was submerged. Damage to the roof in one area - we'll have to look… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Here are more pictures of Yulia's house - and there are other people in these settlements whose houses are in the same state. We're going to start cleaning these houses, and see what structural damage can be repaired. 6/ twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

What challenges does the immediate future hold? 1) Continuing to provide people with safe drinking water, with the reservoir down, and the river contaminated. 2) Clearing away the bodies of drowned animals, and, in other areas, people. 3) Repairing the structural damage to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

We now see a video released by russia, in which the 'Ukrainian losses' shown are 'part of a video'.
Just take a look at this 'video', people. The WHOLE SCENE is static - not a leaf on a tree moves. And yet there's obviously a wind blowing the 'smoke' in the video fairly close to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I actually do know what I'm talking about - I'm very good at all forms of digital graphics and animation. Before the war, I made a comic book with friends in which most of the graphics and the scene were simulated graphics.
So...
After the horror of the last few days, I want to put up a short poem that expresses what I think of Putler, and of those who follow him - those who blindly engage in such brutality. The first image contains the poem - the second image has some notes making my… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
So, that poem focusses upon all that is darkest in humanity - would you care for me to put up a poem that is about the highest and best in our natures?
And for those who haven't seen it before, here's my book of epic poetry - the story of this war, in poetry. The book can be downloaded for free.
I'm going to show you here just how deeply allied Russia was with Nazi Germany in WWII - and how Russia today is home to HALF of the world's neo-Nazis!!
When russia has accused Ukraine in the past, Ukraine has responded DEFENSIVELY.
THIS, however, is a COUNTER-OFFENSIVE!

Reznikov invites foreign legion pilots to fly F-16s for #Ukraine !
“If there are pilots trained for the F-16 and who are ready to take part in the war, the foreign legion is ready to open its doors to them."

I'd suggested this a long time ago - an effective air force would allow the war to be fought according to correct battle doctrine, which uses air superiority to shape the battlefield.
Remember that 40-mile convoy of stranded russian tanks? What a target!

A campaign based on air superiority would also stop russia from creating those 'meat grinder cities' it so loves.
