Western officials, as well as Ukraine, accuse Russian forces of building the Kakhovka dam, while official Moscow claims that Ukraine is responsible for it, that is, it is a matter of sabotage. In the meantime, thousands of people have been evacuated, and the stability of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, Zaporizhzhia, is also under question.

The upper part of the Kakhovo hydroelectric power plant, in the south of Ukraine, was destroyed by shelling, but the dam of the reservoir itself was not destroyed, Vladimir Leontiev, the head of administration of the Novokakhov city district, told RIA Novosti.
