Russia’s Shoigu Weighs in…
⚡️ Defence Minister of Russia and General of the Army Sergey Shoigu (https://t.me/mod_russia_en/7729):
Last night, the Kiev regime committed yet another major act of terrorism: they have blown up the Kakhovskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant, thereby flooding a large area.
According to available data, their motive was as follows.
Since their offensive was not succeeding, the enemy intended to strengthen its potential by redeploying troops and equipment from the Kherson area to the zone of the planned offensive, even though this would considerably weaken its positions in the Kherson area. Incidentally, the enemy has started building defensive facilities on the right bank of the Dnieper, which may indicate that it plans to take up a defensive position there.
To prevent the Russian army from launching an offensive on that stretch of the frontline, the Kiev regime has conducted a subversive and actually a terrorist attack, which has resulted in the flooding of a large area and will have serious and lasting environmental consequences.
In addition, reports show that water discharge from the Dnepropetrovsk Hydroelectric Power Plant has increased substantially, which will lead to increased flooding.
❗️This clearly shows that this large-scale disaster provoked by the Kiev regime has been pre-planned.

More from Russian Military Sources
⚡️Over three days, the Ukrainian regime launched a long-promised offensive in different areas of the front, concentrating large quantities of hardware and manpower for this purpose.
◽️ On 4 June 2023, the 23rd and 31st mechanised brigades of the AFU attempted an offensive in five directions.
The enemy did not succeed in any of them and suffered significant losses: 300 servicemen, 16 tanks, 26 armoured fighting vehicles, and 14 motor vehicles.
◽️ On 5 June 2023, the Kiev regime attempted an offensive in seven directions with five brigades. The enemy was stopped and suffered even greater losses: more than 1,600 troops, 28 tanks, including 8 Leopard tanks and 3 AMX-10 wheeled tanks, 136 other military vehicles, including 79 foreign-manufactured ones.
◽️ The attempted offensive was thwarted, the enemy was stopped, and Russian troops showed courage and heroism in the fighting.
❗️I repeat that the enemy failed to achieve its goals, and suffered considerable and incomparable losses.
◽️The units of the 433rd Motorised Rifle Regiment of the 127th Motorised Rifle Division, the 37th and 60th motorised rifle brigades distinguished themselves in battles, displaying persistence and fortitude.
◽️The 3rd Company of the 37th Motorised Rifle Brigade under the command of Junior Lieutenant Yury Zhelanov and the commander of the 1st Battalion of the same brigade Major Vladimir Polozhentsev showed special heroism.
◽️The divisions, having appeared on a direction of the main attack, steadfastly defended the occupied positions and have caused considerable losses to superior forces of the enemy’s 37th Marine Infantry Brigade. Under the threat of being surrounded, Junior Lieutenant Zhelanov, being wounded, led his company to previously equipped defensive positions, where he successfully stopped the advancing enemy units.
◽️The skilful actions of our Operational-Tactical, Ground-Attack and Army aviation should be especially noted. They employed 50 anti-tank guided missiles. As a result, 5 tanks and 29 other armoured fighting vehicles were destroyed.
📊All in all during 3 days of fighting in all directions, the losses of the AFU amounted to 3,715 troops, 52 tanks, 207 armoured fighting vehicles, 134 motor vehicles, 5 aircraft, 2 helicopters, 48 pieces of field artillery, and 53 unmanned aerial vehicles.
◽️Unfortunately, we have some losses too. A total of 71 servicemen died and 210 were wounded in repelling the enemy offensive by the combined group of forces. Fifteen tanks, 9 infantry fighting vehicles, 2 motor vehicles, and 9 guns were hit.
◽️Tonight, the Kiev regime committed another terrorist crime: the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station facilities were blown up, flooding a large area. The purpose of these actions is reportedly as follows.
◽️Having failed to succeed in the offensive operations, the enemy intends to redeploy the units and hardware from Kherson direction to its offensive area in order to strengthen its potential, significantly weakening its position in Kherson direction. The enemy has begun building defensive positions on the right bank of the Dnepr River, which indicates the intention to turn to defence there.
◽️In order to prevent Russia’s offensive actions in this section of the front, the Kiev regime has carried out a sabotage, essentially a terrorist act, which has resulted in the flooding of significant areas and will have serious and long-lasting environmental consequences.
◽️In addition, the release of water from the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, according to available data, has been significantly increased, leading to even greater flooding of areas.
◽️This fact proves that the large-scale diversion was planned in advance by the Kiev regime.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement (https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/1885611/?lang=en) on the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant by the Ukrainian armed forces
We strongly condemn the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant by the Ukrainian armed forces that has led to a devastating humanitarian and environmental disaster.
Bombing the dam has led to a significant rise in the water level downstream of the Dnieper River. Entire neighbourhoods were flooded, and thousands of people had to be evacuated. The evacuation is already underway.
This act of sabotage by the Kiev regime has caused devastating damage to the farmland in the region and the ecosystem at the mouth of the Dnieper River. The inevitable drop in the water level of the Kakhovka reservoir will affect Crimea’s water supply, and will hinder the improvement of agricultural land in the Kherson region.
This is a terrorist act directed against purely civilian infrastructure. It was planned in advance by the Kiev regime for military purposes as part of the Ukraine forces’ “counteroffensive.” The Kiev regime not only launched mass artillery attacks against the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, but also deliberately brought the water level in the Kakhovka reservoir to a critical level by opening the Dneprovsk Hydroelectric Power Plant’s floodgates.
The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case on this act of terrorism that has led to significant property damage and other grave consequences.
☝️ The Russian side will initiate a discussion for considering this crime by the Kiev regime in the UN Security Council, the statutory and decision-making bodies of the OSCE and other international organisations.
❗️ We call on the international community to condemn the criminal acts committed by the Ukrainian authorities, which are becoming increasingly inhumane and pose a major threat to regional and global security…
