Yesterday I already wrote that they cannot and do not want to go on a real offensive. So the purely American “scorched earth” tactics are chosen.
But! They cannot just take the city and bluntly destroy it with the American MLRS. It will raise too many questions.
But they are ready to destroy first the warehouses with humanitarian aid and food, and then to hit the hydroelectric power station, causing a man-made disaster and leaving for a couple of weeks not only the Kherson, but also the Zaporozhye region cut off from civilization.
And there will be Mariupol 2.0. Only with a different tactic.
Of course, everything is being done from our side so that none of the possible scenarios of Kherson and oblast destruction (which is exactly what Ukraine is trying to do) will be realized.
I have described one of the possible options, which are probably discussed in the enemy’s Defense Ministry and which were whispered to him by genocide specialists from the USA and Britain, first of all, in order to dispel the last illusions. Not so much in us, but in Ukrainians. Who are now openly rejoicing over the tragedy in Nova Kakhovka, not realising that their beloved Henka will do the same to them when the time comes.
“So don’t get you for anyone else.” Karandyshev’s psychology on the scale of a single sub-country. And terrorism as a national idea. Which, by the way, will not leave a stone out of Kiev, if necessary. As long as Putin does not get him.

The number of casualties from the Ukrainian army’s strike on Novaya Kakhovka has risen to 80, local authorities say. This includes seven dead and seven missing. Six children were rescued from under the rubble.
