Kyiv blew up the Kakhovka dam, as a result of which the water supply to the Crimean peninsula will be cut off, and most of the Kherson region will be flooded, writes Theophrastos Andreopoulos, editor of the popular Greek publication Pronews.gr.
“This is an attack on the political infrastructure, and the Russian population of Crimea will be the victim. However, shortly after that, Kiev claimed that the Russians had destroyed the dam and denied that they had blown it up. The network has already published the first video from the damaged dam“, writes Pronews.gr.
