Pushilin stated that Ukraine allegedly undermined the Kakhovsk hydroelectric power station because of the fear of the offensive of the Russian Federation
The head of the Russian terrorist group and the head of the occupation administration of Donetsk region Denis Pushilin said that the Kiev authorities allegedly decided to destroy the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant (hydroelectric power station) because of fears before possible offensive actions by the Armed Forces of Russia. On June 7, the leader of Russian fighters told this in an interview with "RIA Novosti".
"We see, at least, I do not exclude that in some part they decided to protect themselves to fully switch to the notorious counter -offensive in other areas of the front," Pushilin said. Pushilin noted that there is an activation of the Ukrainian side, especially in the use of personnel and equipment, including new supplies, including Leopard tanks. He believes that Ukraine consciously aims to destroy critical infrastructure and harm both itself and the Russian Federation.
According to him, the "Kiev regime" estimated that the harm caused to itself will be insignificant, but it would have significant consequences for Russia. On June 6, the OK South reported that the Russian invaders were undermining the dam of Kakhovka hydroelectric power plants. The head of Kherson Ova Alexander Proudin announced the beginning of evacuation from areas located in the danger zone.
Also, on June 6, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that according to Ukrainian intelligence, the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station in the Kherson region was deliberately intentionally. Although the invaders planned to do so, they acted very chaotic and allowed to flood their own equipment.
In addition, on June 6, the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak reported that according to preliminary information, according to the undermining of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric power plant stands the 205th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. We will remind, on June 7, NYT wrote that the most likely cause of the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant is the undermining of structures from the inside.
