The Russian invaders can strike at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station located near Nova Kakhovka, and then blame the Ukrainian side for this and use the flood to cover their retreat from the Kherson region.

This version was put forward at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

At the same time, the United States warns that the benefits of infidels warned about an allegedly possible strike by the defenders of Ukraine on the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, so that information conditions would appear for damaging the dam by the Russian side and laying responsibility for possible consequences on Kyiv.

"Surovikin said on October 18 that he had received information about Kyiv’s intention to strike at the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which, according to him, would cause devastating flooding in the Kherson region. Saldo echoed the claim and warned that Ukrainian forces were intent on hitting dams upstream from Kherson. With these warnings of a likely strike, the Russian authorities are likely creating informational conditions for Russian forces to damage the dam and hold Ukraine responsible for further damage and loss of life, while using the floods to further cover their retreat to the south of the Kherson region.”– the report says.

As you know, the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station is located under the Novaya Kakhovka Kherson region captured by the Russians – the distance to the city is 5 km. This HPP is the bottom and last step (sixth in a row) in the cascade of the Dnieper hydroelectric power plants. This hydrotechnical construction ensures annual regulation of the Dnieper flow so that the arid regions of the southern regions of Ukraine are supplied with electricity and water.

Tim adds:

Well, the Ukrainians put a dam on the Dneiper's North Crimea canal to cut off the flow of water to the Crimea before the war, so they have a history of doing stuff like this.I think it disingenuous to try to blame the Russians for this now - especially as it hasn't happened yet.

Crimea was in a state of drought for years because of Ukraine's actions on this canal.

I would add that dams can be a legitimate military target and is not forbidden under international law.
