2 days ago: G7 tabloids came out of the EU Stoltenberg GATE, declaring that dam destruction is another Russian WAR CRIME.
• no casualty INCLUDING CHILDREN or property loss numbers
• no reference to UAF 2022 offensive in Kherson
• no reference to UA.gov WAR CRIME depriving "their own people" of the "mostly mooslim" Tartar persuasion in Crimea of water, 2014-2022

1 day ago: G7 tabloids tack to floating Russian mines,  ECOCIDE, dry canal to Crimea, threat of nuclear catastrophe 100 miles away at ZNPP, and spirits of  "New Kakhhovka" families on roofs awaiting rescue | deportation | evacuation—from WHOM, anonymous people dare not speculate

0 day: It was an ACCIDENT. a TSUNAMI. maybe. idunno. We've been clear, says US State Dept stooge, flapping a ISW "non-paper".

CAPTION: Ukrainian security forces [looking to] transport local residents at a flooded area in Kherson
EXCLUSIVE: Ukrainian president says dead bodies are floating in floodwater from the Nova Kakhovka dam.

"As soon as our helpers try to rescue them, they are shot at," Zelensk* said, referring to efforts to reach residents of towns on the Russian-occupied  bank of the Dnipro River, which has been inundated with floodwater after blasts partially destroyed the dam on Tuesday. The floodwaters threaten 80 settlements on both the Ukrainian-held ["right"] and Russian-occupied ["left"] sides of the river, according to Kyiv.

"People, animals have died," Zelensk* said. "From the roofs of the flooded houses, people see drowned people floating by. You can see that on the other side. It's very hard to get people out of the occupied part of Kherson region. When our [security] forces try to get them out [of the occupied part of Kherson], they are shot at by occupiers from a distance."

He added: "We won't be able to see all the consequences for a few a few days, when the water has trickled down [?] a bit."

Our source in the OP said that the General Staff simulated the situation with the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station during the counteroffensive, after the capture of the bridgehead and the landing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the left bank. According to the calculations of the General Staff, the water should go away in 10-15 days, and then you need to immediately start the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine until the enemy has time to create a new line of defense, which was washed away by water.

After initially denying that the dam had been blown up [FALSE], Russia blamed Kyiv for the disaster. The dam bridges the Dnipro River, holding back as much as 18 cubic kilometers of water, and was a vital source of water to the Crimean peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014.

"EVERYONE said: 'The risk is high that the dam will be blown up if the adversary senses that we will come upon these territories to liberate them,'" the Ukrainian president said. The Russians "are afraid < wipes tears > that we will start the counter[-]offensive in this direction and they want to make it difficult to liberate our areas. They didn't think twice about flooding their occupied territories as well. I don't see any other reasons."

Zelensk* also took aim at international humanitarian organizations, which he said were missing in action when it came to rescue efforts on the ground.
