Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has once again distinguished herself with a cynical propaganda statement regarding Ukraine. This time, the press secretary of the aggressor country's Foreign Ministry said that the Ukrainian side allegedly wants to stage “provocations” at the dams in Kiev and Kanev.

Zakharova said that Ukraine “plans to destroy the dams of the Kyiv hydroelectric power station and the Kanev reservoir and blame Russia for this.” This was reported by Russian media, as reported by 24 Channel.

Russia is again lying about “preparing for provocations” at the hydroelectric power station

During the briefing, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the ministry drew attention to reports of a study by the so-called World Data Center for Geoinformatics and Sustainable Development of the Sikorsky Kiev Polytechnic Institute of possible flooding scenarios for adjacent territories due to the destruction of dams of individual reservoirs of the Dnieper cascade. < /p>

The fact is that in September and October 2022, this center already simulated the consequences of a breach of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station dam,” Zakharova said cynically.

She also said that the “regime” of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky “is starting another cynical provocation.”

“Kyiv is preparing to destroy the dams Kyiv hydroelectric power station and the Kanev reservoir, this will become another cynical provocation against Russia,” the speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the aggressor country falsely said.

For why Russia is afraid of blowing up dams in Kyiv and Kanev

The Center for Combating Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, speaking about the statements of Maria Zakharova, noted that Russia continues to try to destabilize the situation in Ukraine within the framework of disinformation operation “Mir”, trying to intimidate Ukrainians with the threat of new terrorist attacks.

With these statements, the Kremlin is trying to cause panic among Ukrainians. At the same time, narratives are being thrown into Ukrainian society about the need for “peace at any cost,” that is, de facto capitulation, explained the Center for Political Action.

Representatives of the center noted that the enemy is counting on Ukrainians, under the influence of fear, will demand to make concessions to Russia.

At the same time, despite the fact that Zakharova’s statement looks like an attempt to provide Russia with an alibi before the terrorist attack, according to the CPD, Russia does not have the means and capabilities to destroy the dams near Kyiv and Kanev.

“It is impossible to destroy these objects with missile strikes, and the option of detonation due to sabotage is excluded, since the dams are under reinforced security,” noted the center.
