"Operation under a fake flag": The Russian Federation plans to blow the Kakhovsk hydroelectric power station - Zelensky (video)

This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in his address to the European Council. "Russia consciously creates the basis for a large -scale catastrophe in the south of Ukraine. We have information that Russian terrorists have replaced the dam and units of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant. This is one of the large energy objects," he said. The head of state said that the Dam of the hydroelectric power station holds about 18 million cubic meters of water.

If the Russian invaders dare to blow it up, then 80 settlements of Kherson region and the regional center itself will be in the rapid flood area. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer. According to the Ukrainian authorities, Russia has already prepared everything to perform a terrorist attack and surgery under a fake flag, and then accuse Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukrainian workers from the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station were expelled, there are only Russian citizens.

They completely control the station. "It is necessary to act immediately so that Russia is not able to implement this catastrophe. A international observation mission at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station is required. Ukrainian staff should be returned there and to provide immediate and professional demining of units and dams," he said.

In addition, the terrorist act of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will lead to the fact that much of the southern regions of Ukraine can remain without water. And the Zaporizhzhia NPP can be without a resource for cooling, because water is taken from the Kakhovka reservoir. The channel in the occupied Crimea will also be destroyed. "This is the true attitude of Russia to our Ukrainian Crimea.

In general, the destructive environmental, humanitarian, man -made consequences of one Russian terrorist attack can become such as they will be called a historical catastrophe," the President said. According to the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak, Russia is preparing a man -made disaster on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station to deport the Russian Ukrainians to the Russians, to stop the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces and to block their own retreat.

We will remind, on October 18, the commander of the occupation troops in Ukraine Sergey Surovkin stated that the Armed Forces allegedly prepare a massive blow to the dam of Kakhovka hydroelectric power station and the city itself. He also did not reject the "difficult decisions" about occupied Kherson. Meanwhile, the occupying "power" of the Kherson region began to "evacuate" people from the region and wants to take 60 thousand inhabitants from Kherson to the left bank.
