This was an unthinkable crime and it is ostensibly a crime against their own country.
I mean, Ukraine is claiming they have a right to all of these Russian territories, because “nation” is no longer a part of “nation-state,” so they are, according to their own beliefs, flooding their own people, risking the meltdown of their own nuclear reactor, denying their own people water.
The reddit faggots on Twitter say that these territories are Ukraine, but they also celebrate when they are attacked and civilians are harmed, because those civilians – who they claim are Ukrainian – are a Russian enemy also.

Ukraine destroyed the Kakhovka dam in an “unthinkable crime” intended to harm Crimea for choosing Russia in 2014, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, told the Security Council on Tuesday.
The Russian diplomat brought up US media reports documenting Ukrainian attacks on the Kakhovka dam in December 2022, using US-supplied HIMARS rockets.
“Feeling its total impunity and being encouraged by Western sponsors, the Kiev regime decided to carry out this terrorist plot this time,” Nebenzia claimed. He noted that the Ukrainians had significantly increased the discharge of water from the Dnepropetrovsk hydroelectric power station, leading to even greater flooding downstream, “which indicates that this sabotage was planned in advance.”
The “terrorist act” was intended to free up Ukrainian forces for the “counteroffensive” currently getting bogged down in Zaporozhye, while inflicting massive humanitarian damage on the population of Kherson Region, Nebenzia insisted.
Not only did the flood render a dozen towns along the Dnieper River uninhabitable, it has also reduced water levels in the North Crimea canal, which supplies water to the Russian peninsula. Ukraine had shut off the canal after Crimea voted to rejoin Russia in a 2014 referendum. It was only reopened last year, when Russian troops took control of the area.
According to Nebenzia, Kiev “once again decided to take revenge on the Crimeans for their choice in favor of Russia and leave the population of Crimea without water.”
Nebenzia called the claims by Ukrainian, US and EU officials that Russia was responsible for the dam’s destruction a “well-coordinated disinformation campaign,” in the same vein as previous allegations that Moscow was behind the shelling of its own people at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, or the destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea.
This is too big of a disaster for the West to run with the “Russia is bombing itself again!” narrative.
Probably.
But maybe not.
I don’t know what they’re going to do. I guess they’ll probably just keep it quiet in the Western media, then claim it was rogue actors, while also vaguely suggesting that maybe Russia did it to themselves as some kind of 5D chess move.
These people are wackos.
But they can afford to be full-wacko, because the American population is so stupid they will believe literally anything, or just totally ignore things that are not headline news.
Right now, the dam is headline news in the West.
