"To interfere with a counter -offensive": the Russian Federation has every reason to blame the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station - isw

Ukraine is "not interested in the destruction of the dam", as it threatens to flood 80 cities, hundreds of thousands of refugees and electricity disruption, military researchers say. While the Ukrainian authorities and the occupation administration of the Russian Federation exchange statements, analysts of the Institute of War Research were not surprised to undermine the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, as they predicted such development, Sky News reports.

Last year, employees of the American Analytical Center suggested that Russian troops would arrange an explosion on the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station to distract from the retreat of troops from Kherson and to prevent the counter -offensive of Ukraine, and then put responsibility for the demanded dam on the Kiev leadership.

US experts have stated that they are not ready to evaluate those who are responsible for the breakthrough of the dam but said that their October analysis is still relevant. Recall that the Armed Forces told about damage to the dam of Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, which was designed to withstand a nuclear stroke. According to Natalia Humeniuk, the head of the press center of the South Defense Forces, the invaders may not have calculated the explosion force, and the dam was damaged before.
