.@TheStudyofWar: Russia does not appear to reap any economic benefits from resettling tens of thousands of unwilling Ukrainians in Russia, suggesting that the purpose of such removals is to damage Ukraine’s long-term economic recovery & support Russia’s ethnic cleansing campaign.

Really based on Zelensky’s claims from yesterday I believe:

Zelensky: Putin Plans to Attack Key Kherson Dam

Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, part of the Defense Ministry, says Russian forces have begun mining the sluice gates and supports of the dam at Nova Kakhovka on the river Dnipro.
