Not seeing this talked about here much. Russia are saying Ukraine exploded their own dam, and Ukraine are of course blaming Russia.
Very strange. I hold the opinion that the nordstream explosion wasn't Russia. I'm not sure where I sit with this one. It seems weird for Russia to straight up deny something that can be very easily proven. At the same time though, Putin could just be being brazen because it doesn't seem like the world is realistically too concerned with stopping him.
Don’t think Putin that brazen tbh. Many actually think he held back since a lot of critical infrastructure still intact. If he brazen, he would already destroyed the bridge that connect the Dnieper, where the western supply flow through or actually de energize whole Ukraine, not just attacking substation that could be fix in a days or two. Also, I don’t think the Russian would shoot themselves on their foot with this since the dam is important to supply water to crimea and cooling off ZNPP, Russian side also got flooded the most
