What does blowing up of Kakhovka hydroelectric power station really mean?
The blowing up of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam is a demonstrative step by the Russian authorities to raise the stakes in the negotiations
In addition, it confirms the inadequacy of the top military and political leadership of the aggressor country. Russian troops are shelling civilian targets in Ukraine, destroying energy infrastructure, and threatening to organize man-made disasters. Further possible humanitarian crimes of the occupiers may include the blowing up of other dams and hydroelectric power plants on the Dnipro River, as well as increased threats to the Zaporizhzhia NPP. After the destruction of the Kakhovka dam, a "countdown" of water reserves for cooling the reactor in Enerhodar, where the ZNPP is located, was turned on.. And the Russian side will push to speed up the ceasefire negotiations.
“Possible humanitarian crimes of the occupiers may include blowing up other dams and hydroelectric power plants on the Dnipro, as well as increasing threats to Zaporizhzhia NPP”
The message will be quite simple – “We have no brakes, we will go to any man-made disasters, start negotiating with us, or we will destroy the world.”
Bringing nuclear weapons to Belarus and withdrawing from the conventions on the control of weapons of mass destruction are part of the same plan.
