The Kremlin on Tuesday denied any fault for the damage caused to the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant after it collapsed and sent a torrent of water into the surrounding areas in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson. The Kremlin pointed blame squarely at Kyiv.<\/a><\/p>\n

“This is a deliberate sabotage by the Ukrainian side,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian media following the dam\u2019s collapse. “This sabotage could potentially cause very serious consequences for several tens of thousands of residents of the region, ecological consequences [and] consequences of a different nature which have yet to be established.”<\/p>\n

Peskov claimed Kyiv was “pursuing the goal of depriving Crimea<\/a> of water” as it looks to eventually oust Russian forces that have occupied the peninsula since 2014.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin\u2019s press secretary further suggested the act of “sabotage,” which occurred in an area occupied by Russian forces, was down to “faltering” Ukrainian offensive actions,<\/a> though he did not expound on which offensive push he was referring to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Peskov\u2019s comments came after Ukraine\u2019s Operational Command South reported that Russian forces had blown up the dam, causing irreparable damage to not only the plant\u2019s engine room but the dam itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thousands of people have begun evacuating from the surrounding areas, and concerns remain over how this will affect water supplies to numerous southern regions as well as the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We know that from 35 to 70 settlements will be flooded. We know that there will be issues with drinking water supplies. Even areas that haven\u2019t been flooded will have drinking water issues,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a> said referencing the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson\u00a0regions, as first reported by the Ukrainian news outlet Pravda.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy further claimed Ukrainian intelligence had obtained information suggesting Russian forces had “rigged the dam with explosives last year.”<\/p>\n

“We shared this information obtained by our intelligence with our partners,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

UKRAINE READIES SPRING OFFENSIVE EXPECTED TO BE LARGEST MOBILIZATION SINCE WAR WITH RUSSIA BEGAN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fox News Digital could not immediately verify who was responsible for the attack, and analysts from the Institute for the Study of War, which monitors closely the ground movements of both Russian and Ukrainian forces in the conflict, said it was “not ready to assess who or what is responsible for destroying the\u00a0Kakhovka dam.”<\/p>\n

Though it also pointed to an October assessment it provided that forecasted Russian forces were preparing to “conduct a false-flag attack on the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant<\/a>” on the basis that Moscow may have believed “that breaching the dam could cover their retreat from the right bank of the Dnipro River and prevent\/delay Ukrainian advances across it.”<\/p>\n

The prediction came as Ukrainian forces were preparing an offensive in the Kherson region that would force the retreat of Russian troops<\/a> from the left bank of the Dnipro River and liberate the city of Kherson.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That forecast was inaccurate at the time, but the reasoning supporting the forecast was and remains valid,” the ISW pointed out Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
