Meanwhile more Explosions refocus Ukraine war on Russian-annexed Crimea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZnROaTr_Is |

No place is safe for war criminals on Ukrainian soil. The Ukrainians Have Struck Another Russian Airfield In Crimea. A Ukrainian drone blew up an ammunition dump at a Russian airfield near Hvardiiske in occupied Crimea on Tuesday, according to Russian media....That's a lot of PooTin's ammo being taken out of late and it's yet to be reported if any planes were damaged in the strike. |

No place is safe for war criminals on Ukrainian soil. Reading between the lines of several reports, it would appear that this strike was on an ammo dump 'close' to the airfield, but is also very close to the railway which was used to bring the ammo to this location. And that it probably wasn't an attack on the airfield. Taking it along with the attack on the Electricity sub-station. I think the Ukrainians are attempting to disrupt the railway system as much as possible. The railway is Russia's main way of transporting supplies in territory it controls. |

As the Ukraine's Independence Day holiday approaches Is PooTin Plotting to Unleash Hell on This Holiday? While Ukrainian officials are warming the people of that happening there's also Zelenskyy’s warning to the people, “Please do not go near the military installations of the Russian army and all those places where they store ammunition and equipment, where they have their headquarters!”. |

Another set of explosions at a Russian AF base. this time in Russia at Belgorod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZNCbfIGuiI Belgorod is about 30km over the border, north of Khariv, which the Russians have been shelling nearly every day since the beginning. I guess the reason is to try and limit the shelling and reduce the Russian capabilities in the north of the Donbas region. |

As 1 expert reckons that Russia Now on 'Defense,' Ukraine Can 'Pick Where They Attack' it's being reported that Russia Forcibly Conscripts Over 400 Mine Workers for Ukraine War. |

It's being reported that Russia Forcibly Conscripts Over 400 Mine Workers for Ukraine War.Now why would they want to do that? It brings back stories of trench warfare on the Western Front, in the First World War. Each side dug ever longer and deeper tunnels under the other side's tenches, filled them with explosives, and blew them up. Special military units were formed, made up of specialist miners from the coalfields, who wouldn't otherwise have been recruited: they weren't tall enough for normal units. |

PooTin's criminal war isn't doing very well at all these days. Soldiers Are Refusing To Take Part In Russia's Latest Offensive Against Ukraine. Russia Loses Another 'Alligator' Helicopter, UAVs in Counterstrike. Ukraine holds 'parade' of burned-out Russian armor in massive middle finger to PooTin. Embarrassing losses are making Russian forces very cautious around one of PooTin's most prized military outposts. Russia Building Pontoon Bridge Into Kherson. PooTin Blamed for Death of Alexander Dugin's Daughter: 'He Has the Habit'. Russian Spies Allegedly Stealing HIMARS Plans Caught Behind Ukrainian Lines. How Bigger Kamikaze Drones Expected From U.S. Could Boost Ukraine's Fight. |

Those PooTin war criminals sure can run, but they can't hide. Ukrainian Marines Say They've Tracked and Killed Russian Troops in Donetsk. Meanwhile a Russian Village 9 Miles From Ukraine Sees Ammo Explosions Twice in a Week and Latvia further adds insult to PooTin as it removes monument honoring Soviet victory over Nazis as it continues erasing monuments honoring totalitarian regimes. |

The sanctions against Russia's invasion are working?... Ukraine war: UK imports no fuel from Russia for first time on record wrote: ... Fuel imports from Russia fell by £499m - or 100% - compared with the average for the previous 12 months to February. Very good to stop the PooTin blood money ASAP. Stay safe folks!

From The Telegraph. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/08/25/ukraine-news-russia-war-latest-kherson-crimea-zaporizhzhia-live/ Russian tanks can be seen just 60 metres from Europe's largest nuclear reactor in new satellite images released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

There have been reports that recruiters have even been visiting prisons, promising inmates freedom and money. Ah, Russian Penal Battalions. Wonder how many Russians are aware of their recent history. Pootin raises Russian troop numbers by 10% |

That nuclear plant is now cut off from all external grid supplies... That's of great concern for maintaining power for reactor cooling... Even when idle, the reactors still must have their cooling system powered and active... Meanwhile, PooTin has weaponized the Russian energy supplies to freeze Ukraine, and us all, into submission over the coming winter... Until the next PooTin "Special Operation" and invasion? What has been that history about appeasement?... Stay safe folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Not quite... The 'safety' test was to prove that there was enough generator inertia to power a safe shutdown of the reactor. Except... The intended test was postponed from the day shift and instead pushed over onto a sleepy night shift. Worse still... The reactor was being run ready for the test but was then run at high power to generate electricity, hence the delay. The Chernobyl design has an inherent explosive runaway mode where once the water moderator boils around the fuel, dropping in the control rods to stop the fission instead causes a steam explosion... The operators didn't understand what was happening and sleep walked into disaster... Scott Manley on YouTube gives a very good explanation... Stay safe folks...

PooTin now burns our planet. And there is also the recent near-death experience of the Russian controlled largest nuclear power station in Europe: Zaporizhzhia: World narrowly avoided radiation accident... Scorched earth in the extreme?... This madness really needs to stop sooner rather than ever more deadly later... Stay safe folks!

PooTin's criminal war isn't going very well. Humiliation for PooTin as 200 paratroopers are wiped out in a Ukrainian missile strike. I hope that they enjoyed staying at that hotel. Meanwhile a Russian Force Won't Return From Mission Fearing Ukraine Deployment. |
