Disaster Day in Ukraine: Kakhovka Dam Destroyed, Ukraine Suffers Heavy Defeat, Incl 8 Leopard Tanks (Alexander Mercouris)

The Russians claim the dam was destroyed by the Ukrainians. Sabotage by special forces likely. The loss of water from the dam effects Crimea. Furthermore, because the Russians are clearly in the winning position there was no need for them to act in this way. The Western media will talk about the Ukrainian counter offensive as if it is big threat to the Russians but past offensives, with more soldiers and equipment, against a smaller Russian force, failed drastically. The only thing that makes sense is if the Ukrainians destroyed the dam. Of course the Western media, that blames Russia for everything (the Nord Stream sabotage etc), and never corrects Ukrainian lies about the conflict, will claim the dam was taken out by Russian actions.
