Occupiers can blow up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station and blame the Armed Forces of Ukraine for it. So they want to try to flood the right bank of the Dnieper in order to stop the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army.
Their plans are quite real, but one thing must be understood. About it on air Channel 24said Serhiy Khlan, a deputy of the Kherson Regional Council, a military Troop.
According to him, now the occupiers have spread information that an “emergency water discharge” is taking place. So they are trying to escalate the situation about a possible dam explosion even more.
Even if you theoretically imagine that the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station will be blown up, then you need to take into account one detail. It was built in conjunction with the main structure of the North Crimean Canal,” Khlan said.
He added that as soon as it was blown up, there would immediately be no water in this channel.
What will happen if the dam is blown up
“I I think that the occupiers will not go for it. And secondly, if the dam is blown up, the Left-bank part of Kherson will be flooded, where the occupiers are now dug up and are planning their fortifications after leaving the right bank,” Khlan added.
While the right bank is not threatened by flooding, since it is located higher and there is a rocky area. Therefore, this is purely an aggravation of the situation, he added.

Water is being dumped at the Kakhovskaya HPP, there is a threat of explosion
It is known from Russian publics that the occupiers are now dumping water from the Kakhovskaya HPP, allegedly to prevent the region from being flooded. At the same time, they themselves write that it allegedly goes to the North Crimean Canal.
By doing this, they continue to cause colossal damage by directing our water to the peninsula. And they justify their crimes with mythical “bomb threats”.
Military expert Roman Svitan told Channel 24 that the Russian invaders may try to blow up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station 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.
