Significant damage to the dam and hydroelectric power plant on Ukraine’s front line early Tuesday poses strategic challenges for both sides ahead of Ukraine’s much-anticipated counteroffensive.
The dam, which controls the flow of water to dozens of settlements, is the source for a crucial canal that delivers water south to Crimea.The barrier between Russians and Ukrainians has expanded at a time when it looks like the Ukrainian offensive is close to beginning, Cancian said. Now, with flooding rendering the area virtually out of play, “Russians can move troops away from the river to more threatened areas.
This allowed water to flow to the Crimean Peninsula. After Russia occupied Crimea in 2014, Ukraine cut off the water supply flowing from the dam’s reservoir. “The city uses its own reservoir, water reserves are at a maximum, and there are also backup sources of water supply,” he wrote.
