The situation remains highly sensitive and complex, with geopolitical tensions and potential ramifications looming large.
Ukraine Did it
According to Russian sources, an alleged strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the dam in Nova Kakhovka reportedly occurred last night. If this claim proves to be true, it is likely that water levels will rise downstream, potentially causing further complications. Notably, there are factors that suggest Ukraine’s involvement in this incident.
An official installed by Russia asserts that Ukraine targeted the Kherson dam using storm shadow cruise missiles, purportedly as a diversionary tactic to deflect attention from the failure of its own counter-offensive. The irony lies in their assertion that a piece of land under Russian control was deprived of fresh water, while simultaneously blaming Russia for the act itself.
