I am not keeping up with your reports Ex Libris, but glimpsing your latest article, sense that direct involvement and escalation to global war could be near! Investigating Putin's decree imposing martial law in 4 "annexed" regions of Ukraine - Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson, after Russian battlefield defeats; which give additional power to authorities in Russian border regions. And reading Putin's justification- "We are working on solving very complex large-scale tasks to ensure security and protect the future of Russia." This decree explains the legitimising of moving or so-called 'rescuing' of Kherson civilians: ...allows for the residents of these territories to be moved to "safe zones". One social comment alluded to the possibility of guerrilla warfare North of Ukraine where it is foresty/swampy, and a lot of lakes, however, Russian aggression against millions of civilians is insane and contravenes blatantly international law.

'Russia is losing Kherson and will Blow the Hydro Dam', Jake Broe, 21st October, 2022. Russian mothers are blaming the Ukrainians for the 'war' and one called it a fascist country: the Russians have allowed Putin to stay in power for twenty years. Russians moving 10,000 civilians a day from Ukraian's Kherson region. Media calling it 'strategic retreats/rescue services' Russian military retreating from north bank to south bank across Dnipro River. Speculation: is Russia setting the stage for a false flag operation near the city of Kherson? Will Russia destroy the hydro electric power plant, releasing the reservoir and flooding to kill Ukrainian military forces? Russia desperate. Russia reallocates forces. "Russia wouldn't destroy a hydroelectric power plant; that is a war crime!" According to Jake , "Russia's entire military strategy at the moment is attacking power plants with nearly a third of Ukrainian power." He further states that Russia is being honest and open about targeting the Ukrainian electrical grid ; the 'game plan', to cause "an epidemic". Lose electricity so they can't have proper water sanitation recycling the water supply. This major strategy is to stop Ukrainians from having clean drinking water to drink and cook with. Jake said this is insane that the world's second most powerful military and they want to create an epidemic of water borne diseases and water borne pathogens! The Russian military has no expectations of defeating the Ukrainian military so they are targeting the civilian population! They want 40 million Ukrainian civilians to not have clean drinking water or heat this winter!
