• Tens of thousands of Ukrainians have been told to abandon their homes amid 'catastrophic' levels of flooding
• The dam provides critical cooling to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as well as drinking water to Crimea

Shocking aerial footage shows major floods amid Ukraine dam attack

There can be another reality... For example, where the top military leadership threatens his family and blackmails him into carrying out criminal orders and taking full responsibility for them. Let's remember that Russia is governed by a criminal group that emerged in the 1990s in St. Petersburg. In that reality, the entire power structure is criminal in nature.

Yes, that could be an explanation. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to tell truth from fiction with most articles about the war.

Pravda.ru​

Pravda.ru (Russian: Правда.Ру, lit. 'truth') formerly Pravda Online, is a Russian news website established in 1999 and owned by Pravda.ru Holding

Controversy​

The organization has been accused of supporting the Russian government's position on various subjects both within and outside the country and also of producing neo-Soviet, Russian nationalist news and outright conspiracy theories. The media outlet which is a part of a larger pro-Kremlin media holding is said to have created an algorithm for vetting media outlets in terms of their pro-government ideological standing.[17]

Pravda.ru has been known to produce tabloid style articles with outrageous claims in the headline, such as

• “Aliens forced Americans out from the Moon”,[18]
• "Time machine built in Europe, Russian scientists say",[19]
• “Time can be turned back”,[20]
• “Alien and human skulls found on Mars”,[21]
• "Nuclear strike hits Yemen",[22]
• “Boriska, boy from Mars, says that all humans live eternally”,[23]
• "Autotrophs: new kind of humans appears who neither drink nor eat"[24]
• “Nazi Germany achieved its technological advantage with aliens’ help”.[25]
• "The decision on Kyiv has been made: it will be destroyed so that the Russians do not get it" [26]

According to former State Duma deputy Boris Nadezhdin, Pravda.Ru is “a pro-Kremlin site that has been coming down on the opposition all the time”; according to Vladimir Pribylovsky, the site is maintained by the Department of Internal Policy of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation.[27]
