Ukraine and Russia blame each other for destruction of Kakhovka dam

While the Ukrainian regime blames Moscow for the explosion of the Kakhovka dam on the Dnipro River; however, Russians say that Western countries have a habit of linking negative incidents to Russia.

The destruction of the Kakhovka dam caused the flooding of the surrounding plain, flooding more than 100 villages and damaging drinking water supplies. At least three people died in the dam's destruction and thousands were evacuated from the Kherson region following the destruction of this dam on the Dnipro River.

Images of the disaster went around the world, while Ukraine is preparing for the long-awaited counter-offensive to regain the territories lost following the Russian offensive. Meanwhile Russia and Ukraine are blaming each other for what according to the Geneva Convention is a war crime and will surely be a huge ecological disaster.

"On the night of June 6, the Kiev regime committed an unimaginable crime by blowing up the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, resulting in the uncontrolled discharge of water downstream of the Dnipro River," said Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya.

 “Russia has been controlling the dam and the entire Kakhovka HPP (Hydroelectric Power Station) for more than a year. It is impossible to blow it up from the outside with bombing. It was undermined by the Russian occupiers and they blew it up,” said the Ukrainian ambassador Sergiy Kyslytsya instead. Who was responsible then? There are three main hypotheses, according to correspondent Giuseppe D'Amato.
