The destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station can make it impossible to force the Dnieper of the Armed Forces - Bloomberg
This, according to the expert, can negate the possibility of Ukrainian offensive across the Dnieper. "This will allow the Russian command to focus its limited strength and attention elsewhere, distracting Kiev with the need to cope with the consequences of the catastrophe," the statement said.
The researcher of the National Institute for Strategic Studies, Mykola Belleskov, also believes that the likelihood of forcing the Dnieper by the Ukrainian military was without undermining low, and the situation that took place will allow both parties to release some of their forces from this area. "Therefore, the question is only who will be able to move them to another place faster," the expert said in a comment.
The General Staff did not comment on this information at the time of material publication. The above opinions are the assumption of the expert, not the official conclusion. We will remind, on June 6 the military expert stated that the Armed Forces planned to return control over the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station before the blast. This operation would guarantee the Ukrainian military that the Russian invaders will not undermine the dam. The plans have now had to be postponed.
