On the one hand R gets to utilized the convenient timing of a Ukr offensive to provide plausibly to a Ukr attack, on the other Ukr risks a nuclear disaster that would destroy the very territory they wish to regain and much much more depending on the prevailing winds (Europe or Russia). It supplies power to the entire region which is needed by both sides, and water to Crimea. If you're loosing and you know you're going to loose though (Russia) then this might be a good move for them from a PR standpoint, and provide excuses for leaving if they're forced to.

This horrific action has 3 major consequences that no one is talking about. Other then the obvious destruction to the cities and danger to the Zaporizhia NPP. 1: This makes the water canals that feed Kryvyi Rih, Crimean canal, and Kakhovsy canal unusable. 2: This makes the Dnipro river impossible to navigate with large ships. 3: Unimaginable destruction to the wild life habit arround the lower Dniper river. Russia had few barganing chips left, and the played their hand, now we see the consequences of their actions. This kind of shit can not be forgiven.

Russia denies being at war with Ukraine but through it's actions show it is at war with Humanity.

Nuclear plant is sufficiently up river from the dam that it will not be affected. It is also on a relayively narrow stretch of the river so will be able to collect water ok. This will flood large parts of Kherson and affect the water supply to Crimea. Shows how much Putin really cares about Crimea, I guess.

Whatever else this means there are two things that people need to remember 1. This means the Crimea Canal cannot operate, this will lower the water level to a point where water cannot get to crimea. 2. This means the water level next to the Energodar plant will fall and there might not be water to operate the cooling towers at the power plant. ... in addition to flooding most of the positions on the lower russian side of the river, I had expected this to be a possibility to counter a ukrainian attack over the river or to cover a russian withdrawl.

No reason to cross now. The aqueduct to Crimea was sourced from that dam and that was the control point for Crimea. 90% of Crimea's water came from that aqueduct. There are 2 million Crimeans that will have to relocate now. But, right now there's 300,000 in Kherson... hope they even have a chance to get out. That dam was there for a while and a lot of things depend on it. This is bad. Reminds me of the WW2 Chinese "hero" that blew dikes trying to stop a Japanese advance. That created one of the greatest man-made disaster in history, 30,000 Chinese dead at a minimum right off the bat, and 10x that later on from the aftereffects.

THIS IS TERRIBLE, JUST TERRIBLE 😧😧😧

This is the surest sign that Russia is desperate and they know they are about to get kicked out of Ukraine. This also brings the US one giant step closer to direct confrontation with Russia. This situation is far worse than most people think it is.

The nuclear power plant does have a water reserve separate from the lake, so there is no immediate danger. The problem is going to be how to replenish that water reserve as some of it evaporates during summer. If they shut it down right now, they can likely put the plant in a state of safe shutdown. Given that it is occupied, there are serious question if they are going to have that kind of foresight.

Very sad and dangerous. An act of sick minds. Is it strategic to slow down the counter offensive than we know the culprit. So so sad😢😢

A couple of points about the dam from an objective military perspective. 1- The bulk of the water went to the Russian side, drowning their own forces and destroying emplacements they have spent millions and months of time building. 2- This will not stop the Ukraine offensive. They have war-gamed this possibility and there are plans in place to adapt to new realities. The main offensive could never go below the dam because the water was a natural barrier to large scale operations. The bulk of the offensive will go through north of the dam and after the "pond" where the river is naturally much narrower. 3- If the ZNP is in danger then any fallout will not only effect Europe, but it will effect Russia, too. 4- If the Russians were reacting to what they felt was an offensive by the Ukrainians to cross the river, then they blew the dam too early. So it was ineptly timed, from a tactical military point of view. All that have done is make a mess to no good military effect. I personally think that someone in the Russian chain of command panicked. 5- Wholesale killing of civilians is a war crime. The officers who ordered this are directly and personally responsible and will be held to account. They will not be able to hide. The CCCP signed the Geneva conventions in 1954 and Russia agreed to abide by them in 1991. Russian propaganda of "you did it in WW2" doesn't work here. UK, US, China, Japan, Germany and Russia blew up dams in WW2 to awful effect and little military gain, which is why the Geneva conventions were signed. The west has learnt lessons over military actions like this and follows the rule of law. Russia does not. 6- The water will settle in three days. Was it worth points one to five to the Russian military? No.

This might become the most tragic catastrophe in this war!

In the Napoleonic Wars Russia deliberately burnt everything inside Russia towards Moscow in order to delay/stop the French from "living off the land" as they advanced on Moscow. It worked and the French army almost starved to death. They retreated and Moscow was saved. Russia has "previous convictions" on killing its own people in order to save "the motherland". Stalin killed approximately 4 million Ukranians in the 1930s in what was known as "the Holdomor" by starving them to death so he could swap the grain for weapons. What a crock of shit country.

This is what desperation looks like after being humiliated. Just leave and blow everything up.

The Dam feeds water to the Crimea peninsula for irrigation of crops and stuff. It could be either party both gain and both lose from it.

Presumably this is the hydropower project that there was much concern about in 2022. I hope not too many lives have been lost.

Ah I get it, so that's why Americans never get blamed for their doings, because they can elect a different president every 4 years without changing the way they commit war crimes in middle east. If Ukrainian government cared about it's people, Zelensky wouldn't still be suking off westerners for weapons so that he could keep sending his people into certain death while racking up debt that Ukraine could never possibly pay off even after it managed to survive this war. Shut up you bots

Heartbreaking. Absolutely a war crime of huge proportions. Time to provide Ukraine with as many long-range precision weapons that it needs.

​@@AI-censorship-in-progressLook at the facts and what they produced. Putin, the war criminal, obviously does not have the balls to own up to his evil deeds. * Soon after capturing the Kakhovka Dam, Russia planted demolition charges on the dam to thwarted possible recapture by Ukraine. * Nov-22, Russia dropped the lake water level to the lowest in decades to flood the Kherson Dnieper area and thwart a possible crossing by Ukraine eastward. * Feb-23 - Crimean canals and reservoirs were topped off and civilians told to evacuate to Russia. May-23 - Lake water level was raised to dangerously high levels so that water overflowed the dam, creating widespread upstream flooding. At the same time, it created the potential for more energy and more devastation if the dam were to fail. * 6-Jun-23 - Kakhovka Dam demolition charges destroy the structure. Russia fails to release on-site real time video of the dam failure. Russia claims Ukrainian artillery destroyed the dam, but multiple HIMARS slavos were required to destroy a small section of the bridge crossing the Dnieper River near Kherson Fall-22, so artillery destroying a concrete dam in a very short time is not credible.

Sending love and strength to all those affected ❤

@@kwnyupstate Christian appears to be correct. Still waiting on official IEAE information, but what I'm reading is that all six reactors are off and have been for months, so minimal water is needed, and the cooling pond is held above the reservoir level. So at least there appears to be no imminent likelihood of an accident.

Extremely dangerous for the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant. It may now lose its cooling. This could be worse than Chernobyl.

If the info on Wikipedia can be believed, the Russians who have been in control of the dam have been raising the water level in the reservoir so it reached its highest level ever in May. That sounds like preparation for breaking the dam, to me. The only advantage I can see for Ukraine is cutting off the water supply to Crimea, but (again according to Wikipedia) only northern Crimea got its water from there, so maybe not the Russian military bases farther south? Probably another case of Russia wrecking everything they can.

Bet and Hope the Kerch bridge is no more safe!

The nuclear power occupied by Russia plant takes its water from that lake. It does have a small reserve separate from the lake, but without the dam, it is going to have a real hard time replenishing that reserve as water evaporates during summer. I don't think there's any immediate danger, but long term, this could cause serious problems. Ideally, the nuclear plant should be shut down immediately. Given that it is occupied, there are serious question if they are going to have that kind of foresight.

Power is not produced at ZNPP. Still the radioactive isotopes produce decay heat that has to be removed or the core can melt down and cause its own chain of disasters. Edit: explicitly, the power plant is shutdown.

It was destroyed instantly so it must have been demoed with set charges. The Ukrainian side lost it's bridge access so it had to have been the occupiers in Nova Kakhovka. I just don't get it, Russia had a static front with the Crimea canal and ZPP power plant controlled. This would stall a ZSU river crossing temporarily but it also renders left bank territory useless swamp compared to Kherson city which loses some docks.

They are trying to create a huge nuclear disaster area that will occupy Ukrainian forces With rescue efforts and stall the counter offensive. And it will be an enormous area. If the ZNPP goes, expect NATO to become involved and the end of Moscow and St. Petersburg……glassed. The Ukrainians have been urgently warning about this for the past week.

Putin: If I can't have it, NOBODY CAN! On the bright side, it's a clear indication that Putin knows it's all over.

Just in case some details go unnoticed : Parents` graves have been washed away by the flood, all 300 animals of a zoo died, and some of the people trying to escape the flood in boats were fired at by the russian side. Cattle drowned. And tons of turbine oil spilled down the river, creating a blanket over the water that will not permit oxygen to reach underwater life and that will not go anywhere, suffocating everything.

Pretty desperate move, now ruzzia will have more repercussions to pay for at the end of the war. Crimea occupiers will have less water supply making it easier for the UA to take Crimea back. ruzzia now looks worse on the world stage. They pretty much gave their opponent a reason to escalate. not sure of the nuclear power plant is shut down or not but i hope a meltdown don't occur and hope no lives were lost in the flooding.

This is so sickening

Such a low blow dude!

Stay strong, Kostya.

It's time for NATO to step in and put an end to this war and to Putin.

Im guessing this is to make a potential counter offensive crossing the Dnieper into the Kherson region more difficult

Counting the seconds before BOTH sides blame the other. Utterly tragic.

This might even drop water level so low that it affects the nuclear power plant upstream. The plant needs water to keep the reactor from overheating.
