Defense Intelligence Exposes Russia’s Preparations For Terrorist Attack On Kakhovka HPP

This was not a spontaneous decision.

It was not a spontaneous decision of Russian terrorists to blow up the Kakhovka HPP. The enemy has been preparing for a terrorist attack for a long time.

RBC-Ukraine writes about this with a reference to the words of the Spokesman for the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andriy Yusov on the air of the FreeDom TV channel.

“Even if we look at the chronology of the reactions of propagandists, “officials” of the rushist regime regarding today’s events, it becomes clear: at first nothing happens, then it happens, but partially, and then Ukraine is to blame, but they, the occupiers, are very happy that the islands on which our defenders were allegedly based, are flooded,” said Yusov.

According to the representative of the Defense Intelligence, given the engineering features of the Kakhovka HPP, no one except the Russians had the physical ability and means to carry out such a large-scale blast.

“Ukraine has informed publicly, as well as partners through other channels, that mining is being prepared and a blow-up is possible. This is not a spontaneous act, this is a terrorist attack that was being prepared (by the Russian occupiers — edit.) for a very long time,” added the speaker of the Defense Intelligence.

At the same time, Yusov noted that Ukraine was preparing in advance for various options of the enemy's behavior, including the possibility of blasting the hydroelectric power station.

Blasting the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant

Last night, Russian occupiers blasted the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, which caused the flooding of a number of settlements in the Kherson, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia regions.

Some towns and villages reported problems with water supply. For example, in Kryvyi Rih, a restriction on water consumption was introduced, since part of the city received water from the Kakhovka reservoir. Residents of flooded areas were banned from catching, selling and consuming fish because of the risk of botulism.

According to UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths, the consequences of the explosion of the hydroelectric power plant will become known in the coming days.
