First things first

, you would not want to draw the attention to Zaporizhia only right? Of course not.. Grin

Kursk update

(delayed, as there are operational security lags)

- There is a large scale evacuation in Kursk.
- The Ukrainian troops are in full control of an area of 15 deep x 30 wide km (this is wider than the Avdiivka front for comparison).
- Ruzzia has built trenches along the Kurskaya nuclear power plant. The problem as I see it is that they would eventually need to put troops in them.
- Ukraine is still advancing and there has been some incursions in the Belgorod border.
- Ruzzia was able to pull out a limited attack on the eastern part of the new front, with little success.

On Zaporizhia

Thanks for looking to the source yourself, but next time try to quote what is relevant to avoid getting caught again masking the facts, like you have done in the past.

IAEA unable to determine cause of Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant fire

1. The IAEA needs to be neutral, even when they clearly see things, they cannot say them because Ruzzia would expel them.
2. The IAEA would not want nor be able to determine who did what, they are there only to look after nuclear safety.
3. There is no statement whatsoever saying Ukraine did it nor Ruzzia did it.

However, in your same source they do say, and this is bold and brave from them:

Quote

The IAEA team found no immediate sign of drone remains and assessed that it was unlikely that the primary source of the fire began at the base of the cooling tower, the IAEA said in a statement on its website.

So..., this is your theory, just to make sure I understand. Ukraine gained access to the cooling towers of Zaporizhia by (fill the blanks). They put in there like a ton of burning material (I do not give a shit if it is a tire or a 10 barrels of oil). It had to be a lot, because the fire was visible from a long long distance and there was smoke at large during quite a long time.

Nobody noticed how all that material was being put in place. All the troops and security of Ruzzia in the Nuclear Plant did not see it because....(fill in blanks). Nobody noticed that someone had to put fuel and make that burn.

Ukraine decided to put at risk a nuclear plant in the middle of their country, in a place in which it would be certain that Ukraine will certainly have radiation all over THEIR OWN country because (fill in blanks). (casually coinciding with the moment in which they are doing and "special operation" in Ruzzia near the Kursk nuclear plant).

I would say that according to your theory, the level of incompetence in Ruzzia would be astonishing, but I am afraid that there is an easier explanation.

You should start watching you credibility after this, although I understand you cannot deviate from the official versions, no matter how incredible. BTW the official Ruzzian version speaks of a drone. Just looking at the pictures below you can see that a drone will not cause something like this, so precisely located under the cooling tower for maximum "drama", there needs to be flammable material, etc....

Funny, I recall seeing those kind of updates for Bahmut, Robotyne, Avdiivka... do you know why those stopped? Can you provide updated pictures on those too, or developments only matter in the first few days?

Can you be at least a bit useful and tell us how many km^2 UA captured in the last 24hrs, and how that compares with the previous 24hrs? What's interesting is the trend, is UA moving faster, staying consistent, slowing down, stopped, retreating?

You are aware that there are incinerating projectiles and drones that can drop molotov cocktails and then fly away right? Or of course just a ton of burning material that burns with multiple explosions Huh

suspended 10 metres (33 ft) high, burning without "disturbance of the debris, ash or soot located at the base of the cooling tower", which IAEA inspectors couldn't spot. I mean of course we all believe your version Cheesy

I agree, there used to be that kind of updates for Bhakmut and Avdiivka. They have not stopped at all, Ruzzia is active in the Donbas - the Kursk "Special Operation" is designed to draw troops from there.

So, the inspectors say they do not know the cause, there were no signs of drones... but look, even if it was a drone (which I think it was not), it may still be Ruzzian - they have drones you know??

So, back to you theory of Ukraine doing this ... (Would you like to confirm that you are accusing Ukraine of the fire in Zaporizha?)

1. Why would Ukraine damage a nuclear plant in the middle of their own country?
2. Why would Ruzzia threaten a nuclear incident in the middle of Ukraine right the moment Ruzzia is being invaded?

Which one of these makes sense to you? Because I know which one makes sense to the rest of the world.
