Western media: The destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station will nullify the likelihood of a counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine across the Dnieper

After the destruction of the Novokakhovskaya dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and the subsequent flood in the Dnieper regions, forcing the Dnieper River by Ukrainian formations is not possible. Bloomberg writes about this in an analytical material.

The Western press claims that the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station will negate the likelihood of a counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine across the Dnieper. Previously, this probability existed, although it was assessed by Western analysts as low. But now the Ukrainian troops will definitely not be able to carry out the operation to force the Dnieper.

Thanks to the current situation, the agency notes, Russian troops will be able to focus on other areas. The Ukrainian regime will also have to deal with the elimination of the consequences of the catastrophe. At the same time, expert Nikolai Beleskov from the National Institute for Strategic Studies believes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will also have the opportunity to liberate their forces from the Dnieper territories. The one who can quickly transfer reserves to other directions will win.

Interestingly, the Ukrainian military command voiced somewhat different forecasts. Thus, the commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Sergei Naev, argued that the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station would not have a significant impact on the plans for the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. True, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak recognized the need to adjust the plans for the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in connection with the events around the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.

There is also a version that the Ukrainian authorities deliberately decided to blow up the dam in order to explain the further delay in the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to their Western patrons. But this version is doubtful, since the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the leadership of Ukraine are flooded with agents of the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies, and such plans of the leaders of the Kyiv regime would have become known to the West in any case.

The Ukrainians were not going to attack there ... But the offensive of our troops would be seriously hampered.

[Fan-fan]

Dear colleague, the opposite is true. Ours were just not going to attack there, this is evidenced by the surrender of Kherson, otherwise it just turns out to be game: i.e. we first surrendered Kherson without a single shot, and now we are going to take it with a lot of blood?

[Shurik70]

But Vladimir Rogov (chairman of the movement “We are together with Russia”, a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration (MCA) of the Zaporozhye region) believes that the flooding of minefields will allow the Armed Forces to overcome them on floating craft

. But Vladimir Rogov ...

Here's an interesting guess:
Vsu had nothing to throw into the gap in Novodonetsk, because of which they were forced to retreat. And the destruction of the hydroelectric power station spillways and flooding will allow them to remove significant forces from the Kherson direction and bring them into battle on the South Donetsk front.
And for some reason they were counted by 25 reserve brigades. I've only heard of 12. Five brigades have already suffered losses:
In three days, 3700 (these were killed) people, 53 tanks, 5 aircraft, etc., were destroyed.
For the first time, our losses were announced, but for some reason it is unrealistic just a low figure - 79 people, 15 tanks. And that's it! If so, I'm glad, of course. But... How so? How did b. (lin) manage?

And what will Comrade Shoigu say about this?)

The version is even very working, simply because in the Armed Forces of Ukraine there are not only pan-headed citizens of Ukraine without brains, but there are many who understand very well why they are being driven to the front by Western masters. And driven to the slaughter.

So, while there in the shelters of Kiev, and now most likely Lviv, Western specialists conjure over maps and plan offensives, the soldiers and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front every minute think about their lives and ways to stop their offensive to hold out time and maybe end SVO on the terms of Russia. Why not.

Indeed, they are already on the left bank - in Zaporozhye. Why start crossing the river?

This is beneficial only to the Ukronazis themselves, the counteroffensive has bogged down, it is necessary to somehow get out. Now the attack is being postponed.

[Thrifty]

What are the problems - let them bypass the reservoir, although there is a cyborg on a cyborg these can also cross the bottom of the reservoir to the other side

[novel66]

Good idea, Somewhere even already was

Part of the bottom has already moved to the other side. From the islands. The current washed

Everyone will have to keep their strength there! Active actions, of course, will decrease, but no one will come out of the defense. In fact, the explosion of the dam narrowed the theater of operations. In general, I think that a Ukrainian can risk attacking Donetsk or Lysichansk.

That's right.

Can take risks. Success does not shine from the word at all.
But having poked into our defenses in the south and Donbass, for the sake of media effect and achieving at least some result, they can twitch to Belgorod or to the Bryansk region. Prigozhin lures them there with his cries.

Dotted to the opposite. The situation there became very dangerous.

[svp67]

A week and a half for the water to decline and dry up, and then there are excellent opportunities to overcome the Dnieper through its natural channel, which is not so wide, especially at the site of the former reservoir...
So there is no reason to relax

[KCA]

One and a half weeks? You don’t want a year and a half, and this is in good weather, when the sun is shining and there is no rain

[svp67]

I know those areas well. Now the flood wave will come down, but it will come down very quickly and everything there VERY soon will begin to dry out under the southern sun. And soon many places will become passable for people, and then for technology. There is a very hot sun.

[runway-1]

Regarding the fact of the destruction of the dam, the information regarding the arguments "who benefits" looks rather contradictory, both in this news and between the news itself.

After the descent of the main water, there will be a lot of silt, mud and very deep puddles, all this will immediately begin to overgrow with grass (evaporation of the surface, drying will slow down), a low-lying swamp will appear in places that is generally impassable even for pedestrians

In the morning, the VO was full of articles that for the Armed Forces of Ukraine the destruction of the dam was a complete surprise, and their troops, preparing for landing on the left bank, hastily fled from the islands on the Dnieper, and by evening the situation changed dramatically - they themselves suddenly blew up :))

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Let off steam, cheers-patriots. After a couple of months, the silt of the bare bottom will thicken as much as it will become passable for equipment.

[nordscout]

Let's abstract from all the options that happened at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station (undermining, fire raid, the operation of the naval special forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who returned from vacation in Miami after the Nord Stream was blown up) and consider the most common everyday version of Russian "indifference", which "walks", already and through new territories of Russia .... It seems that there was no organized control over the state of the dam (dam), including hardware control - 24/7 ... Yes! I about it. From the moment the Kakhovka hydroelectric complex came under the control of the Russian Federation, it seems that its protection from the "art" of the enemy was carried out only "on paper" .... The dam was "threshed" both in the "tail and in the mane". To date (hours), there is NOT a single picture (evidence) of the explosion or arrival of a projectile (rocket), if the hardware control of the state of the dam was carried out ... Apparently, talking about sabotage is illogical on the part of IEDs ... And it seems that the flooding of the territories down the dam was not included in the plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ... Consequently, this is either a manifestation of the administrative and organizational bungling of the leadership of the Kakhovskaya HPP and the administration of the city (district, region, center) or a manifestation of the organizational "indifference" in the issue of control and protection of such an important strategic object in new territory But! What an information "explosion" the "Kahovsky incident" has created in the global information field! Second Butch! Then the strange "gestures of good will" (the withdrawal of the RF Armed Forces from the territories they occupied) led to the possibility, the Ukrainian leadership, to lay out the "bruises" from the Kiev morgues in the yards and streets of the city of Kiev. Buchi, followed by an audio-video PR of the "atrocities" of Russia and the subsequent "driving with the physiognomy" of Russia at all "international" corners. Someone can "resonate" that the old man Lavrov S.V. and his office is no stranger to such disrespect. True, it would be possible to "respect" the doyen of international diplomacy, but Russia, over and over again, gives serious reasons to Europe, the USA, Canada and other Japanes to even forget about the concept of the word "respect". What did we want? Acoustic disturbance of the air environment with "words" about the mythical "red lines", without real actions along these lines, strange, in all respects, military "gestures of good will" in the occupied territories of the enemy, regular expressions of "concerns" without concrete impact on the source of these " concerns", the assumption of the transfer of NWO to its own territory (including "arrivals" in the Moscow Kremlin) ... I will not continue further. An analysis of what is happening confirms that in 9 cases out of 10 there is a lack of thought in the decisions made (or adopted), banal unprofessionalism, an attempt to wishful thinking, to hide or deceive the leadership and the population of the country, an attempt to earn "on your pocket" at any cost and, of course, indifference, which has been cultivated everywhere for almost 30 years ... And at the Kakhovskaya HPP, it seems that the mortally "wounded" shutter could not stand (so many arrivals and outright hits over these months) + 67 years "in service" (without serious preventive work with the "body" of the dam and the water discharge system) - a solid age and fatigue of all structures ..... This is what happened...

It somehow turns out strange - what someone said (Vasya, Bloomberg, Petya, a source in NATO) is being broadcast. And what? Don't have a vision?
