In fact, there are no partisans there, and there never have been. At the first stage of the war, the AFU forces that remained encircled in these areas put up sporadic resistance.

This lake was artificially created in 1956, destroying homes and animal habitats. 50 years later animals and humans have adapted to this change. Then this lake gets drained again and is returned to how it once was. However, this will create agricultural problems and drinkable water for southeast Ukraine. It's one of the main reasons why the dam and reservoir was built

With enough wood and material, you can shore up the mud enough to get a column of vehicles across, so it would just be a matter of securing an area with infantry long enough to build it.

Spelling Ukrainian towns and cities with the Russian transliteration, saying "the Ukraine" calling the conflict "the Ukrainian war" (omitting the name of the aggressor and any reason for the war) and so on are all active ways Russian propagandists are trying to influence the narrative.

@@peffiSC2source i understand that, and if i were in an Ukrainian's shoes i'd probably feel the same. Though, as a less sensitized European, it can be hard to keep that in mind while regarding the topic. From an outsider point of view, it seems overly difficult to not accidentally cater to one side of the issue especially with the limited vocabulary available in Online discussion boards. So, my point is that it is like walking on a minefield when discussing Ukraine or the war, and it gets frustrating for many of us and just loops back around to further polarization because Westerners get angry at Ukrainian sensitivity. We're all just too gullible to the Online mob, so the side that seems the most collected and least oversensitive always wins the narrative. It's sad to see, but it's how it is nowadays. I also think this is why so many Gen Z are starting to lean Pro-Russia, which in itself is pretty alarming. Social Media is tearing us apart.

Russia: blows up a dam to cause a lot of environmental damage and kills a lake Also Russia few years ago: try’s using the same excuse when Poland built their own canal to avoid Kaliningrad but fails

​@@chadthundercock4806He's saying the Russians blew up something inside of Ukrainian territory.

Stand with water, both sides are threatening Water's independence.

For anyone wondering who destroyed the bridge, the answer is no one. No side had a reason to destroy it. Russia because of the water supply to Crimea and it's defence under the river, and Ukraine because it wanted to continue offensive operations. The damages happened because it was in the frontline and no one could repair it.

What are you yapping about, Russians blew up it up from the inside to prevent an overwater assautl while the southern counter offense started.

Not true. Russia was looking like they might lose because a Ukraine counter was making great ground and no defense was prepared. They blew up the dam to prevent the counter from getting too far so they had time to create a stronger defensive line against Ukraine forces. Before the dam broke, there was legitimately a chance Crimea could have been lost, now there's no chance.

The water supply of Crimea as a reason for Russia's actions is a total meme and a made up reason. If Russia really cared about Crimeas water supply, then instead of wasting hundreds of billions on their miltiary and war, they could have built enough desalination plants in Crimea to turn the Black Sea into a freshwater lake. It's clear the Russia is repsonsible for the dams destruction. They mined the thing right after taking control over it in February 2022. By October 2022 Ukrainian leadership literally stated that Russia would blow up the dam and blame Ukraine for it. One week before the dams destruction, Russia passed a law stating: "Until 1 January 2028, technical investigations shall not be carried out into accidents at hazardous production facilities and accidents at hydraulic structures that occurred as a result of military operations, sabotage and acts of t-rrorism." Aside from that, Russia has been targeting population centers, civilians and critical infrastructure in Ukraine for two years straight with complete disregard for practicability and perfectly in line with waht a t-rrorist state would do. Blowing up a dam fits perfectly into what Russia has been doing this whole war. By the way, I am not writing this for you because you are either a brainwashed kid or a bot, judging by your profile. I am writing this for the people who'd seriously consider a comment written by a brainwashed kid or bot.

​@@janedoe3043bro what? it was built specifically to withstand war in case of invasion from the west. the only way it could've been destroyed was if someone mined it from the inside.

Можете обвинять сколько угодно Россию, но мы в это время стояли в обороне и намеренное уничтожение плотины максимально не выгодно было для русской обороны. Тут смотри, буквально в скором времени ВСУ закрепляются в Крынках в надежде на дальнейшие развитие наступления. Война конечно плохо, но советую ещё раз пораскинуть мозгами, когда думаете об этом инциденте. Кому это выгодно в военном плане больше. Если России, то поясните, вижу только одни минуса.

I see an error here, all that red, it might be claimed, occupied, even bogus annexed by Russia. But it's still Ukraine.

It’s showing the front lines. That’s not an error. It’s an ongoing war. I didn’t label it Russian territory on the map, I colored it as Russia since they’re occupying it.

My colors don’t differentiate between occupied and legitimate, they differentiate between occupied and annexed. Russia’s annexation is bullshit, but I show it the same way I show Germany annexing parts of Poland despite it being bullshit. Just because I indicate it on a map doesn’t mean I support it.

@@EmperorTigerstar Wouldn't it be more accurate and less controversial to just write "Russia occupied" or "Russia controlled", especially on a map that doesn't even include Russia? I won't tell you how you have to make your videos, but it's kind of obvious that a Ukrainians whose sovereignity and independence has been questioned by its imperialist and revisionist neighbor Russia for decades, during a war of aggression and extermination waged by said imperialist and revisionist neighbor, won't react positively if you label half their internationally recognized country as Russia.
