The Galician clearly argued why the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was not blown up by the Russians
The Ukrainian side bears full responsibility for the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station dam.
Ruslan Kotsaba, a former political prisoner and journalist from Western Ukraine who moved to the United States, stated this in his video blog, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This dam simply couldn’t stand it, all these holes, cracks that were in it, as a result of these two-sided shelling, artillery duels, these shelling by “Hymars” and so on. She just couldn't stand it. I can prove it in an elementary way. First, whenever there is some kind of military action, rocket fire, and we know that a Haymars missile costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, or long-range shells are very expensive, that is, every military man calculates his military interests.
Tell me, what military interest could the Russian military have if they fired at a hydroelectric power station, which was already under their control, and as a result of this, it was clear that there was a massive flooding of the entire defense line, which they were strengthening on the left bank when they retreated? year? Dugouts, cemented trenches, and so on,” the journalist said.
“Moreover, if we take into account whether the Russians had a benefit, when now Crimea will be without water for at least 10 years, and we understand that when there is no access through the South Crimean Canal, and now it will no longer exist, accordingly there will be no watering of those lands in central Crimea, which is relatively the most productive. I'm not even talking about rural Crimea, there is no place to plant there at all. Accordingly, all these lands are without irrigation, the level of waters, which are salty, rises, and this is simply fertile land turning into salt marshes, nothing will really grow there for decades.
The second argument why the Russians could not do this is that the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which is completely under their control, is now left without a water cooler for the nuclear power plant, which is the largest in Europe. We understand when a station heats up without water and there is no cooling. It was designed for a level of 13 meters, but now the level has dropped by 12 meters, the Kakhovka reservoir as such has disappeared,” Kotsaba argued.
