Russian Invasion of Ukraine | A War in Europe After Hours

Just watched this on the news.

I could never imagine that something like that can happen in the 21st century, in Europe...

Russia is taking Ukrainian children. Their mothers are travelling into enemy territory to save them.

The Nova Kakhovka dam has been destroyed, and the Dnipro is flooding.

Both sides pointing fingers at each other.

Russian sources are claiming UAF has launched another major offensive, this time toward Tokmak. So no doubt we'll be hearing reports soon that they've defeated it, killed 5k troops, 100 tanks and 20 F-16's....

If the Russians were hoping to slow down the UAF by blowing up the dam, they also cut the water supply of their own people in Crimea. It is peak stupidity and it reeks desperation.

There are several 100 metres of the dam completely missing. I'm no expert but to me nothing except a massive amount of planted explosives could cause this amount of damage.

Currently, Ukraine has not started the main counteroffensive.

It's a shame that the UN couldn't show a bit of muscle over this dam crisis and enforce a brief "no fly zone" to evacuate people. The reluctance of the west to provide more aid is appalling, but I can understand that actually providing humanitarian relief is very problematic when in an active war site. I suspect the Russians would love a brief "ceasefire" to reposition in response to the counter -offensive, and have shown they don't respect such conventions anyway.

Is getting action from the UN being restricted by Russia's role on the security council at the moment - or could UNHCR act independently?

"Counteroffensive and defensive actions are taking place"

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky appears to have confirmed that his country's long-awaited counter-offensive against Russia has started.

It is looking like taking out 4 Bradley's didn't actually win the war for Russia after all.
