The invaders blew up the dam in anticipation of a Ukrainian counter-offensive. In addition, before the explosion, they raised the water level at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov said the Russian military blew up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station on June 7 at the direction of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. He said this on the air of Radio Liberty.
According to Danilov, the Russians blew up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station with explosives they had planted in advance, in September-October 2022.
“The order for this terrorist act was issued from the Kremlin, from Putin’s office. Such instructions were not given at other levels. This is not the level of a battalion, a division, it is not even the level of the situation related to Shoigu,” he said.
Danilov believes that the invaders blew up the dam in anticipation of a Ukrainian counter-offensive. In addition, before the explosion, they raised the water level at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
“They all rely on our counter-offensive. Also, they raised the level (of the water, – ed.). He was 18.16 meters, they lifted him more than 19 meters. They were deliberately accumulated to create more damage during the explosion,” he said.
Recall that on the night of June 6, the Russians blew up the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
Almost the entire Kakhovskaya HPP is under water. Now under the threat of flooding up to 80 settlements.
