Russian military only have 1 playbook and that's scorched earth tactics. Easier to destroy infrastructures than building 1.Why they did it? This scorched earth war tactic is ugly. That will bite them. Russians won’t survive without waters in Crimea for a week. The destruction is massive.

The blown up dam almost certainly slows down, delays, if not outright stops Ukraine's counter offensive in the region for months.
Another act of sabotage with undoubtedly the clown of Kiev and Co. behind it.
Source of this, otherwise you're getting a negative rating and a report to the mods for spreading misinformation.Turkey accuses the Ukrainian regime of blowing up the Nova Kakhovka Dam in the Kherson region, with British instructions, due to the failure of its counterattack
The explosives were set off inside the machine rooms. the Russians obviously blew up the dam to halt Ukraine’s offensive towards Kherson.
Scorched earth tactics from the Russians. Another war crime in a long list of them.
Sounds like utter bullshit.Turkey accuses the Ukrainian regime of blowing up the Nova Kakhovka Dam in the Kherson region, with British instructions, due to the failure of its counterattack
Outright lie.Seriously you’re comparing states to countries?
Why doesn’t Bavaria cede from the rest of Germany, see how silly that is?
And as I’ve said over the last 50 years yes trillions have been given to Europe
Trump was an unreliable ally and partner. Simple fact.Europeans are just butt hurt trump didn’t let them take the US for a free ride.
Germany and france tried trade and diplomacy to bring russia to peace. This did not work. Fault lies mostly with russia.And for the record I’m not playing divide and conquer, just making a point you’re ok with Germany and France dictating which way Europe sways but but how dare the US do the same while they beg for handouts.
As if Germany isn’t to blame for the current situation in Ukraine. They’ve been sucking cheap gas from Russia for decades while Russia actively worked against their interests. Remember Georgia, where was European help then?

It is surprising that they did not factor that into their plans…blowing up dams/levees is a fairly known tactic to bog down opposing forces.The blown up dam almost certainly slows down, delays, if not outright stops Ukraine's counter offensive in the region for months.
The interruption to Crimea's water supply won't be felt for months.
There's plenty of reason why that idiot Putin and his butt-boys would blow it up.
People would have to be gullible diots to believe that Ukraine did it at such a crucial time for them.
The destruction of the dam ruin Ukraine's plans.

Apparently, they left.
Where the hell is the Russian military?
Context matters.The Washington Post ... last year
Inside the Ukrainian counteroffensive that shocked Putin and reshaped the war
First, a lightning sweep across Kharkiv. Then, a slower grind into Kherson. In two months of stunning gains, Ukraine's military redrew the battlefield map and proved it can fight to win.web.archive.org
“Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages. The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off.”
Strike last year
Honestly I do not know, what strikes me is ... how to say it, i better not express what i think.
If Ukraine really can go all the way to Mariupol, then the Russian will lose Crimea for sure, because that would put Kerch Bridge and most Crimea port in HIMARS and now storm shadow range. Which mean not only would they not be able to support their troop, but also any civilian infrastructure.If Putin loses Crimea to a counter offensive, then losing access to water is the least of his concerns if that can be prevented. Especially when he built a bridge from Russia to Crimea to address some of the water problems.
