Yeah but it was because of the same potential risk that now has materialized

True but if a shell came down near-vertically on the bridge it's still not going to hit the dam so long as they are separate structures, even if they're very close

So how would Ukraine go about blowing up a dam they have no control of? Nothing in their aresnal actually has the oomph to do it in one go from a distance. A dam this large would require multiple tons of explosives.

Well Special forces or underwater drone. It just need to weaken the dam enough for the water pressure to take the rest.

I heard they used mutliple vilkha mlrs at night to do so.

Russian Telegram channels are reporting that there are a lot of flooded Russian trenches. The destruction of Nova Kakhovka dam provoke the flooding of all the islets of the Dnieper River in its last sector and several localities on both sides, but essentially on the Russian side, where several fortification lines were located.


Non Paywall:

Logical reasoning:

Swans swim in front of the House of Culture in Novaya Kakhovka.

I suppose it was just a question of time before Ukraine would make such move. Russia can make retaliation strikes against Kiev dam now. It would be appropriate response.

Really? And already Russians confirming it is surely propaganda?

By combination of artillery strikes and high water lvl. It is just upper part of dam that got damaged and water had made rest of work.
They had even tested such capability.

Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages.
The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off.

And we know that it is indeed a Russian soldier because...?

I mean we comparing statements made by Ukranian officials to that of a ramdom guy whom Ukranian claims it is a Russian soldier without providing proof.

Confirming what? And by who? Considering all those "Russian blow up Nord Stream" bs. Yes it is surely propaganda.

Oh watched video.

He say "I do not know who had blow up this dam". Yeah, definitely confirming.

And propagandists turned it into another bs. typical

How are we sure this is a "Russian" soldier?!

Here's another Ukrainian fake that was debunked yesterday. It turned out that this "sad Russian border" was actually a Ukrainian actor.

This video is a fake made by "Ukrainian Hollywood" somewhere safe in Ukraine, all the information about his unit doesn't add up. Colonel Vasily Kolchin, about whom the speaker speaks, ceased to be the commander of the 138th brigade back in 2021. Now it is headed by Sergei Maksimov. Also the "sad Russian border" speaks Russian with the typical Ukrainian dialect.
