In Russian telegram channels and the information space in general, there are panic messages from near Kherson. It is obvious that another “gesture of good will” may be prepared there. However, the occupiers can also blow up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in order to stop the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
A military expert, reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, pilot-instructor Roman Svitan told Channel 24 about this. According to him, now the Russian military is calculating the options that may occur on the right bank of Kherson.
The commanders of the infidels understand that certain operational and tactical actions of the Ukrainian troops are possible in the near future. They will force the occupiers to either leave the right bank or die.
occupiers can blow up Kakhovskaya HPP
As Svitan noted, Russian invaders may try to blow up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in order to raise the water level in the Dnieper. So they probably want to slow down the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which could continue on the left bank of the Kherson region.
One of their plans is to undermine the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. They can do this in order to prevent us from crossing the Dnieper on their shoulders and moving further into the Crimea from Kherson. Up to 5 km wide can be flooded there, – Svitan believes.
However, it is still impossible to finally confirm that the infidels decided to leave the right bank of the Kherson region. It all depends on who will make the decision. The situation may be similar to that of the Russians in Izyum: the colonels believed that they needed to run away, and the generals demanded to stay, because this was a political decision.
If the invaders blow up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, this will seriously complicate the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region. Most likely, in late autumn it will be impossible to cross the Dnieper in this region.
However, the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are located on the left bank of the Dnieper in Zaporozhye. Therefore, offensive actions towards Melitopol are possible. Dawn emphasizes – the result will be the same. The Armed Forces of Ukraine will definitely be in Crimea.
