Zelensky Tells West to Tell Russia Not to Blow Up Dam That Would Flood Southern Regions

In school, we all remember the tattletales. Some of our co-workers are still tattletales in adulthood. These are the worst people. Much worse than the Jews or even women.

But did you ever know a tattletale who tattles on stuff you didn’t even do?

That’s what the Ukraine is.

Reuters:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged the West to warn Russia not to blow up a dam that would flood a swath of southern Ukraine, as his forces prepared to push Moscow’s troops from the occupied city of Kherson.

In a television address, Zelenskiy said Russian forces had planted explosives inside the huge Nova Kakhovka dam, which holds back an enormous reservoir, and were planning to blow it up.

“Now everyone in the world must act powerfully and quickly to prevent a new Russian terrorist attack. Destroying the dam would mean a large-scale disaster,” he said.

Russia has accused Kyiv of rocketing the dam and planning to destroy it in what Ukrainian officials called a sign that Moscow might blow it up and blame Kyiv. Neither side produced evidence to back up their allegations.

The vast Dnipro bisects Ukraine and is several kilometres wide in places. Bursting the dam could send a wall of water flooding settlements below it, towards Kherson, which Ukrainian forces hope to recapture in a major advance.

…

Zelenskiy called on world leaders to make clear that blowing up the dam would be treated “exactly the same as the use of weapons of mass destruction”, with similar consequences to those threatened if Russia uses nuclear or chemical weapons.

Later, the Pentagon said U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had spoken to his Russian counterpart, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, in their first call since May. It declined to give details on their conversation.

I have the details – directly from a transcript leaked to me.

Austin said:

I think the call is very diplomatic, and makes more sense than what Joe Brandon would have said.

Thank God for the vibrancy of our democracy.
