The fires at Dneprogres have not yet been extinguished. The enemy assesses the damage as very serious, which is actually noticeable from the published videos.

The Dnieper hydroelectric power station, which is the largest hydroelectric power station in Ukraine, stopped work after a fire and damage, said Igor Sirota, director of Ukrhydroenergo.

Regarding the links in different publications, I do it, first of all because I publish them as I see them. They are not always all together.
Furthermore, the moderator already said that it had no influence.
Besides, it seems to me that it reads better separately than all together.
Some don't have Telegram, but that doesn't mean they stop posting things from there.
Many times, there is an explanatory comment, and I also publish from other platforms.

If there is a war between Russia and NATO

Question remains what weapons and ammo NATO would use in such a scenario.
Showing pics of empty warehouses won´t scare the Russians. 

I like the one on the far RHS.

The only plane that could be able to carry a FAB-9000 is the Tu-160.
If that capability was implemented. 

Sherwood

Russian snipers used bows and arrows. 

I counted 31 vehicles

Mostly different versions of the M113.
You just need a hammer...

2 days worth of losses....

Calm days. 

t is practically out of the grid, for good...

But it destroyed two cruise missiles.
Two less for the Russians to use in future.

Hit a parking lot in Belgorod.

Strategic target.
Without parking space the people will rebel and overthrow Putin.

will be 5-8 times more powerful

0,001 % of the reffinery were damaged.
The hydro electric power station is a total loss.

It seems that the SBU ban on videos is becoming less effective.

There were a lot of videos from yesterdays strikes in Kiev, too.

Ukrs have the best AD in Europe

They had it. 

Russia now admits openly that it's in a state of war and not just a special military operation.

We'll see what that means exactly.

But this lunatic-grade delusion propaganda fits in with the condition of Ukria before 2022. It engaged in all sorts of retarded projection of inferiority onto Russia.
When Ukrians would get routinely shaken down by rotten cops on highways, this was supposedly the situation in Russia, which has not seen this sort of rot since
before Putin cleaned house in the 2000s. So the current spew of inanity from Kiev is just business as usual. Meanwhile their precious "nezalezhna" Ukria is swirling
the toilet bowl. You can't wish reality into existence.

Well missiles and suicide drones are actually destroyed after they successfully hit their targets, so it is not completely wrong

Concerning the attack to the power plant, yes this was important infrastructure that could have been useful when the territories will be again part of Russia, but, when were those plants built?
I do not believe any of those was recent or completely safe. In a near future they would have to be dismantled and replaced with modern ones.

In the meanwhile ucraine will not be getting energy from something built by the soviets.

Decommunization baby!
