The Russians blew up the most significant water dam flooding the entire Ukrainian offensive area

 

Tuesday, June 6, 2023.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denis Smykhal said separately that up to 80 communities were at risk of flooding after Russian forces destroyed the station's dam.

At the same time, Ukrainian military intelligence claimed that the Russian forces blew up the dam "in a panic."

It will likely be impossible to repair the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam after an explosion ruptured the structure, a Russian-appointed official in the Russian-held town of Nova Kakhovka said today.

In comments on Russian state television, the city's mayor, Vladimir Leontiev, noted that the dam's damage resulted from a series of Ukrainian strikes.

Reuters still needs to be able to independently confirm this information.

Leontiev also noted, according to Russian news agency TASS, that residents of about 300 houses were evacuated after the damage caused to the dam and added that part of the city was disconnected from the electricity supply network for security reasons.

According to Ukraine's state-owned hydroelectric company, the Khakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant in the Russian-held region of southern Ukraine was "completely destroyed" and cannot be restored after an explosion that it said inside its engine room.

"About 16,000 people are in a critical zone," Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the military administration of the Kherson region, said in a social media post.

At the same time, TASS reported, citing emergency services, that water reserves in Crimea's water reservoirs are sufficient after the dam rupture in Nova Kahovka.

you do not have a singe proof for that accusation - and it makes zero sense either.
Crimea now without water
ZNPP without cooling
Most of the flooded area is under Russian control
All fortifications build by RF are now also damaged. https://t.co/vIV8ynYc3k

The Crimean peninsula, annexed by Russia, depends on drinking water from the North Crimean Canal, which brings water to the arm from the Dnieper River.

The official response from the European Union.

Shocked by the unprecedented attack of the Nova Kakhovka dam.

The destruction of civilian infrastructure clearly qualifies as a war crime - and we will hold Russia and its proxies accountable.

The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, is expected to submit his proposal to aid the flooded areas after the attack on a dam in Ukraine at the June Summit.

Mr. Michel, in his post on Twitter, declares, "shocked by the unprecedented attack on the Nova Kakhovka dam. The destruction of civilian infrastructure is clearly a war crime – and we are holding Russia and its proxies accountable."

Opinion

Everyone is looking for precious time, Zelensky, to make up for the heavy losses in soldiers, but mainly in munitions and vehicles, and waiting for the receipt of warplanes, and Vladimir Putin, for the reasons you will read in the following article.

HOW MANY FRONTS CAN RUSSIA WITHSTAND AT THE SAME TIME?
