Russia blew up several spans of the bridge over the dam. Let's hope the dam structure itself is ok.
They dropped the Kherson rail bridge too Bridge detonation ( Rail) .. .. |

I read elsewhere that it is believed to be fake. |

Not sure if it’s a request or a thank you…
Next to Ukrainian flag, citizens have hoisted the flag of the European Union. #Ukraine #Kherson |

Ukrainians will know who's who the minute the suspect opens their mouth. A Russian may speak ukraine but will not talk like an Ukrainian. There are given Ukrainian words a Russian can't pronounce properly. Eg. palyanytsia. Bad pronounciation and you're done.

Short thread on the Ukrainian Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USV) used recently to attack Russian vessels in harbour.

So it appears the span of the bridge they dropped ( small one ) wasn't the previously damaged one...

Not seen these before, it shows right up until the remote boats hit the ships at Sevastopol. Previous versions stopped earlier.

Would they be protected by the Geneva convention without uniform (combatant status)? More like kamikazes being left on the western bank with no bridges.
They get to be sorted out and handled as POW until their status is verified. Thereafter, they get to be treated as common criminals or as POWs. Shooting them as spies might have been great sport once upon a time but is frowned upon, that would be a war crime in itself, which is what Russia has done repeatedly to POWs in recent and historical times.

Its going to be an MP's nightmare... They need to offer fair alternatives to the poor old Ruski Konscripti, "dead meat" was not the cause of the unpleasantness, they have been shot at by their own sides, and it would be a fair bet that those left behind are not the professional hardliner lifers that messed up royally all round. The options are to give them an opportunity to surrender gracefully, or to be taken out by force. There should be ALARP on risk to the Ukrainian forces to clear out the mess, and the guys that did that need to 'fess up on where the booby traps and mines are. Once captured, it is unlawful to ask them to work on military matters or be used as minefield clearance droids. Ukraine has behaved gracefully under severe stress, and are a stark contrast to Russia, and they need to maintain that distinction IMHO. On the basis of no good turn.... perhaps the Kerch bridge has run out it's useful life, would seem to be a balanced response to the drop of the bridges today in Kherson oblast. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....76e4a9508.jpeg |
ROFL….
"The Ministry of Defense reported that at 5:00 Moscow time, the transfer of Russian troops to the left bank of the Dnieper was completed. As the department clarifies, not a single piece of military equipment and weapons was left on the right bank." ….. |

Assuming the Kerch bridge isn't currently being used to transport significant quantities of anything important (which appears to be the case), surely better to let Russia expend further time and resources on trying to fix it, and then drop it when they're done?
