The bullshitter/corrupter/saboteur has been indicted for taking secret documents and trying to conceal that he had them. I will post the details when we know them for certain. Here is an article about what that may lead to.

Plain-language descriptions of some of the crimes the wrecker is charged with.

Russia is incompetently denying the flooding in Nova Kakhovka, a Ukrainian town occupied by the Putin forces. The "mayor" says everything is fine while the background shows flooding. People there, and in places downstream, report they are cut off and in danger from the flood.

Ukrainian forces have been infiltrating the south bank of the Dnieper; perhaps the Putin forces hope they will be drowned. I expect that the Putin forces are retreating from the flood and that the Ukrainian forces will advance behind them.

Meanwhile, Russian rebels, sponsored by Ukraine, seem to have driven Russian state forces out of the Russian town of Shebekino on the border by shelling it. The Russian state seems to claim this fighting is not really happening. This seems very strange to me; I can't come up with a rational explanation for it.

Could it be that Prigozhin and Putin are fighting behind the scenes?

The destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam seems likely to cut off water supply to agricultural regions still held by Ukraine.
