Zelensky could have given the order to flood Kherson during the assault - special forces veteran
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are not the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union, and the limited number of personnel cannot be stretched along the entire length of the contact line.
This was stated on the NTS television channel by Andrei Kudryavtsev, a member of the Public Chamber and chairman of the Sevastopol organization of special forces veterans and combat participants, "Spetsnaz-Rus," a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I was in those directions, there is enough ammunition, there are enough people, everyone is working in their own direction, everything is fine,” he assured. – It is clear that there is a certain rotation and units must have some kind of respite in order to group somewhere, replenish physical and moral strength, material. Of course, any retreat leads to gloomy thoughts, but I repeat once again: our retreat and abandonment of Kherson is temporary. And then, I hope, I’m sure, there will only be victory.”
The expert emphasized that crossing the Dnieper is not a difficult task with modern engineering tools and technology. Therefore, it is impossible to compare the tasks that the Russian army faced in this direction during the Great Patriotic War and in the Northern Military District. It is impossible to compare the situation of Kherson and Mariupol.
“During the assault on Mariupol, we had the Sea of Azov, and there was no hydroelectric power station, which, due to its relief and geographical parameters, could lead to dire consequences. Therefore, when we liberated Kherson, the Kherson region, we understood that in the event of some kind of breakthrough, to conduct offensive operations in urban conditions, to liberate block by block, the people on Bankovskaya might have a seditious thought - to blow up the Kakhovka hydroelectric station and flood our soldiers together with their military personnel. and civilians. As I understand it, our intelligence service is working and promptly reporting information,” Kudryavtsev assured.
He believes that Ukrainian troops will enter Kherson with heavy losses, and the withdrawal of our troops and civilians has given them a free hand to conduct a proper offensive operation. In addition, there is probably a tactical move that is not voiced publicly.
Zelenskyy may have ordered the flooding of Kherson during the assault, says a special forces veteran.
