Putin Allies Face Crisis As They Run Out of Water​

A picture shows damage at a storm-hit seafront in Crimea's largest city of Sevastopol on November 27, 2023. Heavy snowfall near Sevastopol has led to a shutdown of the city's water supply on Tuesday and Wednesday as authorities work to clean the water purification systesms.

"The water supply for the Crimean city of Sevastopol will be shut off on Tuesday and Wednesday due to significant pollution in the area, according to the city's Russian-appointed authorities.

Sevastopol Gov. Mikhail Razvozhayev said in a post to his Telegram channel on Monday that the city's water supply has been contaminated due to heavy snowfall in recent days. After the snow melted, a "sharp influx of dirty water" was carried into the Chorna River, Razvozhayev explained, contaminating the city's drinking water and causing local officials to need to shut down water treatment facilities to clean their systems.


"Due to the rise of rivers and mudflows, the level of water turbidity has sharply increased," Razvozhayev wrote in his post, adding that the water has become "almost 60 times dirtier" due to the snowfall. Water will be shut off between 11 a.m. Moscow Standard Time (MSK) (3 a.m. ET) Tuesday until 8 p.m. MSK Wednesday.

"This forced shutdown of the system, necessary for the accumulation and sanitary purification of water, will allow us to provide water as normal on the evening of January 24th," Razvozhayev wrote. "If we continue to supply water periodically, the process may drag on for a week or more. I ask everyone to treat the situation with understanding."

This is what happens when money meant for infrastructure goes into someone's Dacha instead.

This will be a big deal going forward as half the budget is going to the war and every else will suffer. The loss of so many trades men and skilled workers will be huge as the infrastructure will fail and it will be hard to fix without the proper resources.

Today Putin had confirmed that special military operation is done according as had been planned and will be continued.
President Putin is thinking that everything is OK and special operation is successful and should be continued.

The problem with possible cruise missiles supplies from europe is ...also cos usually these are used together with decoy missiles and nice Pentagon had told that they doesn't have money.....for ukr. Unlike with cruise missiles, main decoy missiles supplier( seller ) for europe is U.S .
There are also some other nice missiles: NSM and RBS 15, these might be launched from truck and might be used against naval or ground ( land ) targets...

Putin Has Another Crisis on His Hands​

Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting in St. Petersburg on December 26, 2023. Post-Soviet politics expert Jason Jay Smart told Newsweek on Thursday that Putin is facing "another grave crisis due to the ongoing heating disaster" in Russia.



"Putin, who is seeking another term in the March election, faces backlash over power outages that have plagued Russia in recent months, often resulting in a life-threatening lack of heating.


"Putin is facing another grave crisis due to the ongoing heating disaster" that was pushing Russia toward "the breaking point," political adviser Jason Jay Smart told Newsweek.

"There have been estimates that perhaps thousands of Russian civilians have frozen to death," Smart said. "Incredibly, the genesis of this crisis, as a UK [Ministry of Defense (MoD)] report said today, is that the Kremlin has been pushing regional governors in Russia to make infrastructure cuts, since early 2022, to help finance the war in Ukraine."


"This is another sign that Russia is becoming increasingly unstable and nearing the breaking point," he added.

Outages had left approximately 25 percent of Moscow residents without heat in brutal winter weather as of earlier this month, while a 60-year-old Russian Navy officer reportedly froze to death in his home near St. Petersburg after losing power on January 3."

Still only in January with lots of winter left for Russia to suffer because of Putlers stupid military operation. Things could get really bad in Russia with more infrastructure failures and no labor and material to get in fixed quickly.

The increase in these drone attacks the last couple of days is a great development for Ukraine.
The amount of resources needes to defend against these kind of attacks would be massive, if possible at all.
they really have a chance at crippling some infrastructure like this

Ukraine’s new strategy hits Russia where it hurts

Ukraine is fighting not one but two hot wars against Russia. The first, a conventional, bloody land war along an 810-mile front line, has descended into stalemate. But the second – drone and missile strikes and sabotage raids deep into enemy territory – may prove to be a game-changing strategy...

As a European nation I don't think you'll get a better security investment than this.
We should put billions towards these long range drones

This is a good explanation why Russia lying over POW.

 

[SandisLL]

Russia didn't had provided bodies/ remainings in order to confirm story about POVs in airplane.
Also looks that this airplane earlier was in Iran and also claims that for 65 prisoners only just 3 security guards might had been used are ....clownade....for entertainment.
Even russia never will allow to use only just 3 security guards for 65 prisoners when they are transported by 26-50 m $ worth....airplane, it is ridiculous story from mental hospital....this level of propaganda.
