The Russian blowing up of the Nova Kakhovka dam means that its war on Ukraine has entered a new phase.
Initially, Putin intended to seize the whole of Ukraine and did not want to destroy its infrastructure.

An exceptional interview with General Zaluzhnyi. He exhibits humility, compassion, humor, intelligence, discipline, selflessness, and vision. He has changed the culture of Ukraine's military...decentralized command, listening to subordinates, building an NCO corps. Inspiring.

1/ The Commander of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi, has given an interesting interview to Interfax-Ukraine. The full interview is worth reading, but his comments about the fighting in Bakhmut are particularly noteworthy:

Fantastic Estonian spring!

This is a Ukrainian online meme from early this invasion. Normally, the Ukrainians just blacked out the city names to fool the Russians who has no good maps. But for this meme, they added “The Hague”, “”The Hague”, “The Hague” to each arrow. A Ukrainian prophecy, as usual. #ICC

Some unspoken rules to get by in Estonia. In short: don't whine and get s..t done.

My humble prediction about the war in Ukraine: Ukraine has no other option but emerge as victorious https://t.co/fnin64xlKr

Estonian Foreign Intelligence just published its eighth security assessment - and the first without me!
Great read as always for those interested in Russia. https://t.co/oscLJSEn5q

Ukrainian decathlete Volodymyr Androshchuk will not be representing his country at the Paris Olympics because he was just killed by the Russian armed forces. In other news, the IOC announces that Russian athletes are welcome in Paris.

Latest news from Poland is most concerning. We are consulting closely with Poland and other Allies. Estonia is ready to defend every inch of NATO territory. We’re in full solidarity with our close ally Poland 🇵🇱
