Ukraine

Some good analysis from an Estonian veteran, Artur Rehi.
  • Russians closed all the release valves weeks before the Kakhova dam was blown up - so the water pressure would be very high, and the damage would be greater - and then ordered their forces to pull back their artillery and vehicles just before the blast.
  • Without the water (delivered by canals) from the reservoir, 3 oblasts will be unable to produce the agricultural goods that the Ukrainian economy depends on.




  • Eco-cide
  • Shaping the battle space
  • Politics of Energy
  • Politics of Hunger
  • Scorched earth
"Unless Russia can mobilize least another 4 or 5 hundred thousand people, and have a third party supplier of weapons, they will not be able to do any major offensive operations in the future"
