The Russians' answer did not take long, because it was ready according to the template - Ukraine and the Armed Forces were blamed for the disaster at the Kakhovska HPP. Photo from Vasyl Klymchuk's telegram channel Of course, someone, like the UN, did not want to hear and see about the disaster, because they were busy celebrating the day of the Russian language. The consequences were seen by Ukraine and the world only on 6-th of June.

The Ukrainian side has also repeatedly emphasized that the Russians are preparing a provocation at the Nova Kakhovka dam, which could threaten a man-made catastrophe: : this was written by Podolyak in his Twitter account, President Zelenskyi said during his address to the European Council. After all, then the Russians started pushing their propaganda, saying that "the Ukrainians are planning to blow up the hydroelectric power station." The Institute for the Study of War wrote about this Russian plan, in particular. We wrote about Russian preparations for provocations at the Kakhovska HPP in October last year. Was the terrorist attack on the Kakhovska HPP a long-planned provocation by the Russians? Four theories were under the consideration: the dam broke by itself ("Mother Nature" is to blame) detonation and self-destruction the Ukrainian military is to blame (although they did not have access to the HPP from the beginning of the full-scale invasion) and the thesis that the Russians blew up the HPP themselves. To find out who was involved in the destruction of the dam at the Kakhovska HPP, the Molfar team analyzed all the information available on the network. The occupiers mock the disaster, calling it "the opening of the bathing season" and an effective way to slow down the advance of the Armed Forces while hundreds of Ukrainians try to save their lives and the lives of animals. The laconic message from Ukrhydroenergo about the destruction of the Kakhovska HPP dam and the inability to restore it conveys no less sadness than Hemingway's shortest story.
