invaders drain the Kakhovka reservoir: what is the danger
- The Russians are draining water from the Kakhovka reservoir in an attempt to keep the water level lower in the Dnieper. So the enemy is trying to prevent the Ukrainian offensive.
- The water level dropped by at least two meters from normal levels during this period.
- If the water falls another meter, then the cooling pond of the Zaporozhye NPP will not be able to fill up, and if it falls another 2 meters, then water supply to the Crimea will stop.
- Local authorities have warned that if the level falls below 13.2 meters, the Zaporizhia NPP's water-powered cooling system will be in danger.
- Gennady Timchenko, First Deputy Head of the Zaporizhzhya OVA, noted that if the water supply is stopped, problems will begin with the cooling of the reactors, which will lead to a catastrophe.
