Ukraine War: Strategies and Gold
Ukraine War: Strategies and Gold and how this effect troops movement in Ukraine and how Russia is using their gold
The War in Ukraine is currently on a holding period which means getting up-to-date information and data from the ground that is reliable and offers value takes time to come by. Most information will be getting will be sporadic. Ukrainians are sending small waves of special forces trained by the United States and its Western allies across the Dnieper River to reap others across the region. The…

One of the regions annexed by ruzzia following sham "referendums" was Zaporizhia.
As a revenge for their precious bridge, ruzzia bombed Zaporizhia city, killing civilians.
So, based on their own logic, they just bombed their own territory.
Quoting one Ukrainian soldier - they really are f-ing stupid.

"Any damage to the nuclear power plant is suicide." The Atomic Energy Agency prepares to go to Zaporizhia
“Any damage to the nuclear power plant is suicide.” The Atomic Energy Agency prepares to go to Zaporizhia
Erdogan, Zelensky and Guterres at a press conference in Lviv © Mykola Tys/EPA Author: Cátia Carmo with AFP The Secretary General of the UN, António Guterres, expressed his concern on Thursday about the situation at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant and revealed that the International Atomic Energy Agency is preparing to travel to the Ukrainian city. “Common sense must prevail here to avoid…

In the Zaporizhzhia region, they want to create a technology park for drones The authorities of the Zaporizhzhia region are considering the possibility of creating a technology park in the region with the most preferential conditions for private developers and manufacturers of UAVs. “I propose that here, in the Zaporizhzhia region, special super-preferential conditions be created for private engineering companies throughout Russia, so that they create their design bureaus and production capabilities to create a wide variety of UAVs here. If the government of the Zaporizhzhia region supports me - the first reaction was positive - then they could make such a technopolis, a technopark, the name is not so important, the main thing is zero taxes for young creative teams,” senator from the region Dmitry Rogozin told reporters. [caption id="attachment_64654" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Zaporozhye[/caption] In the Zaporizhzhia region, they want to create a technology park for drones He clarified that we are talking not only about military developments but also about dual-use devices: “When we make UAVs with you, for example, aircraft type, during combat operations they will be useful to us to deliver some combat cargo to the enemy when it ends NWO and peaceful life will be restored - this is mail, irrigation.” The head of the government of the Zaporizhzhia region for economics, Andrei Kozenko, said that this issue was discussed at a meeting of ministers of the economic bloc of the region: “We see this in the form of some kind of industrial park. I believe that this could be one of the growth points for the region; these products will be in demand. And not only economically, but also for the further implementation of the SVO. We will make every effort to ensure that this idea has maximum opportunities for implementation.”

In order to properly assess the advantages/disadvantages of sabotaging the ZNPP, we have to understand what this could actually mean. Most people seem to picture some kind of Chornobyl-like scenario, with the containment-less core burning for days due to the graphite moderator having caught on fire. This sent a hot plume of radioactive material into the atmosphere that then travelled across Europe. This is however not what happened at Fukushima Daiichi. Why? Because they're totally different reactor designs (Gen I graphite-moderated RBMK with 'cost saving measures' vs Gen II US-designed LWR), and the biggest issue at FDNPP was the hydrogen explosion in the spent fuel pools because TEPCO hadn't installed the hydrogen vents.
So, what happens if ZNPP is rigged up to the hilt with explosives, inside every accessible area? The spent fuel pools would naturally scatter chunks of the ceramic fuel around, but because they're quite heavy (think depleted uranium-heavy), they don't travel very far. For the reactors themselves, pulverising the containment structure and pressure vessel would take a lot of force, more than the fully loaded 747 falling on top of the reactor building scenario that it is designed for.
Reasonable conclusion is that at most ZNPP could be turned into a lousy dirty bomb that'd be annoying to decontaminate (scooping up top soil like around Fukushima Daiichi), but the worst part is that any sabotaging effort would likely render the reactors at ZNPP inoperable. This means the loss of 6+ GW of electrical power plus the heat (for e.g. Enerhodar's district heating system), which would make life much harder for Ukraine in the coming winters.
The fortunate thing about modern NPPs (like the VVER-1000/320 type at ZNPP) is that they are essentially impossible to weaponise (by design) unlike say an HPP or regular dam. They are however critical infrastructure, the loss of which could have devastating effects regardless. Constructing new NPPs would take 5-6 years, during which Ukraine would have to find an alternative to the loss of power and heat.
This would seem to be a perfect 'scorched earth' scenario, but the amount of condemnation would also be immense. Even if the peanut gallery (within a nuclear physics theatre) doesn't quite get the details, they do grasp that 'destroy nuclear plant is bad', and since they have collectively decided that every NPP disaster equals ChNPP #4's destruction, they're far more prepared to lean heavily into retaliatory measures, to the point of invoking NATO Article 5, as has been indicated.
Especially that latter point I think would make it seem rather... ill-advised for Putin to sabotage the plant in any meaningful manner (beyond e.g. destroying the reactors by purging them with corrosive fluids, but that's a big task in itself). Of course, this is geopolitics, which means that reason is the first thing to fly out of the window, even before the first Russian oligarch.

The Ukrainian Counter-offensive
There are three main assaults to follow: one of strategic importance and the other being a mix of strategic and emotional significance because wars are not merely thought for strategic objectives but for emotional value.
There are three main assaults to follow: one of strategic importance and the other being a mix of strategic and emotional significance because wars are not merely thought for strategic objectives but for emotional value. Two examples of this can be found in World War II during the Battle of Britain in 1940, with Nazi Germany focused bombing attacks on the British people and not focusing on the…
