It says a lot the UAE Exotic Falconry and Finance account (what on fucking earth), is calling for his resignation because the perceive him as gay, bi, whatever. No mention at of the fact that he's a shitheel of a candidate, regardless of his sexual choices. Says more about them and who they think they are influencing than anyone else.

Based on this, I'm pretty sure you are correct Korenevo is north and west of the western village of Lyubimivka. What is confusing is that there also appears to be an eastern village, very close to Kursk proper with the same name (this might be a difference in Ukrainian spellings and Russian).

Info restrictions on the Ukrainian side perhaps lifting?

More good local reviews

Perhaps a wild old Russian woman

The information we are getting is lagging, considerably. Most of it, in terms of the Ukrainian advances have actually been confirmed thru Russian sources. The Ukrainians have kept a pretty good lid on their end. Basically, we are getting fog of war, but I've read rumors that 2 or 3 days later are confirmed, all of which indicate that this is far more broad. The other aspect with this is that Russian bloggers and the like are reporting what make well be scouting or sabotage activity, only they aren't sure as to whether or not these activities represent the bulk of the forces or just the aforementioned groups. It was interesting that the Ukrainian General reported today that 1000 sqkm was in their possession, when the Russian sourced info kept referencing 350 sqkm. Both sides clearly have their own interests at play, so I would guess the truth is somewhere in the middle. 3 days ago I read the Ukrainians were in Miliutino, and early to I say it confirmed. If the rumors we are hearing today are true, in a few days they are going to have Southern Kursk (the city) cut off.

I wonder if that reservoir next to the plant serves as the fresh water source for Kursk? Just in looking at the satellite overviews it's really the only large body of water I see. That isn't to say they (the Russians) wouldn't have other places to source water from, but that might be where the bulk of the water treatment for the area is done. This would make some sense, as if you have a humongous infrastructure project like a nuclear power plant, dam and reservoir, why wouldn't you do treatment there as well? I'm not sure that shutting off water to ordinary citizens is a great idea (it may well be crime, which the Ukrainians don't want to commit) but if push comes to shove, armies require water. In any event, capturing this area may well mean that don't just control the electricity in the area, but you also potentially control water as well.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume safety isn't the biggest priority in Russia.

A question for you on this: Does this station more or less exist to monitor pressure? (If I understood correctly, it isn't for sludge removal, based upon what you can see).

Well, if this is true, we can stop speculating on the gas station

There here......

Wait, Wait, Wait, you mean to tell me there are groups within the group of Latino's? All this time I thought they were one unified people with a singular goal.

Generally not, but if I recall, the reactor(s) have been in cold shut down for well over a year. From what I recall, the fuel rods will still be hot for a period of several years, but not dangerous during this period. The fire in the cooling tower isn't great, it would render that useless in the future, but I don't think there is any current concern for the actual reactors. At this point, Ukraine has more or less overcome/learned to deal with the power from this plant, so I don't think that's a big concern either. Lastly, I think I remember that all of these reactors were due to be decommissioned or rebuilt within the next few years prior to the war.

Gary Ridgway was in the Navy

I'd say that's pretty clear signaling from Putin and Co, he's saying, "I don't give a fuck if you take Kursk NPP, I'm not giving you Zaporizhzha or anything else back in trade."

Of that I have no doubt, from one side and definitely a level of propaganda. However, there are a couple of striking things about it. 1. It looks almost identical to the breakout from 2 years ago, in terms of staging and maneuver. 2. The Ukrainians are better equipped this go around and appear to have gotten better at it, while the Russians appear to have an abysmally slow response, and have gotten worse at defending it. Additionally, unlike the eastern breakout of 2 years ago, where the Russians had significant reserves behind their lines, in this case, in this area, their reserves are minimal.

I'm sure the Russians would take that in a heartbeat, they'd continue to surround the now cold Zaporizhzhia plant that is damaged, for a hot Kursk plant that they are dependent upon. So yeah, this ain't in the cards.

NASA's Ginger might just kill Mary Ann, if history tells us anything.

No, they get a respite of sorts, however long it takes to get to Avdiivka and into a frontal assault.

No idea as to accuracy, but interesting if true
