"We had other plans": Danilov told why the Russians blew Kakhovsk hydroelectric power plants
The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) in an interview with "Ukrainian Radio" told this on June 8. "I want to say that, first of all, the Russians did it for a military purpose so that we do not go on a counter -offensive in the Kherson direction. Although, I think, today we can clearly understand that we had completely different plans," the NSDC secretary emphasized .
According to Danilov, speaking of evidence of the dams by the occupiers, in September-October last year, the command warned that the Russians laid explosives directly at the station, and they were ready to carry out this terrorist act at any moment. "This territory was under the control of terrorists. Accordingly, they are responsible for the actions they were there. For our country there was no point in doing any sense. Danilov explained.
At the same time, the NSDC head noted that when the Russians were preparing the dam, they did not calculate the consequences that would be after this destruction. "What they have done when some time will pass when we can count everything that happened there, believe me, the consequences for our country will be scary, but for the Russians they will be just catastrophic. Because they will be responsible for all.
People in the Kremlin, who were instructed to undermine the dam, will be responsible for it. And including the performers, "Danilov added. We will remind, on June 6 in OK "South" reported that Russian invaders undermined the dam of Kakhovka hydroelectric power plants. Also, on June 6, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that according to Ukrainian intelligence, the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station in the Kherson region was deliberately intentionally.
