Excellent piece by former Russian diplomat @Vizlypuzly1 (Boris Bondarev)
His solution may well be difficult to hear but we can’t be like Putin and refuse to hear anything…. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/russian-federation/sources-russia-misconduct-boris-bondarev

Igor Sushko: Prigozhin capturing Voronezh-45 nuclear storage facility in Russia may be part of the key to the lock that can help explain his decision to suddenly and bizarrely 'end' the coup which was succeeding spectacularly.

Remember this also. It’s called "ecocide"
"It's an ecological catastrophe - tens of thousands tons of fish and unique biosphere will die. The nests of millions of birds in the wetlands along the left bank of the Dnieper river have been flooded."

Interesting hypothesis.
RT @TrentTelenko: Issues going forward:
1. ZNPP nuclear cooling once the water abates
2. Crimean canal is fed from this reservoir. The dam destruction means Putin does not plan to keep water flowing to Crimea i.e. he no longer thinks RuAF can hold Crimea.

Terrible stuff. It will destroy many people and is equivalent to a WMD. In addition to all this the flooding may limit AFU manoeuvres in certain places. The idea that Ukraine was responsible is absurd.
RT @KyivIndependent: Video footage of the dam shows a major breach in the section of the dam closest to the Russian-occupied eastern bank of the river. Flooding is expected to reach critical levels at around 11 a.m., according to local authorities.

And the word panic in every second sentence!
RT @JuliaDavisNews: Meanwhile in Russia: pundits told the viewers to avoid panic and hysteria, while they loudly argued about protecting Russian borders and panicked about what was yet to come. The lone voice of reason was hysterically shouted down.

THIS! The lady at the end is not telling the truth when she says she doesn’t support their use. The fact that she even says this now is interesting in that context.
Fear.
RT @TheKremlinYap: The rhetoric has changed dramatically.
As soon as Ukrainian air defense shot down all the Russian Kinzhals and Iskanders, propagandists Sivkov and Simonov opposed not only the use of nuclear weapons, but even talk about it.
