> I would like to draw your attention to the plans of the Kiev regime to destroy the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric dam in Kherson province. In particular, Ukrainian forces are considering launching sea mines downstream the Dnieper River or a massive missile strike. We are also registering air strikes targeting the locks of the electric power station with the intention to raise the river level.

Russia is talking, which means Russia is lying, diverting attention, framing or victim blaming.

Everyone has known that the instant Russia felt threatened that the dam would (probably) be destroyed. The consequences are horrible for Ukraine but not so much for Russia. They have known that the counter offensive would be coming. Why not lay down some propaganda now for something that someone else should take the blame for in the future? With the help of a корисний ідіот of course.

Russia-appointed Kherson oblast governor Saldo, speaking right in front of the flooded streets of Novaya Kakhovka:

"Everything is fine in Novaya Kakhovka, people go about their daily business like any day"

"no big water present"
