There is no water in the houses of the residents of Nikolaev for 6 months. It is dangerous to stand on the street for clean water, because the city is often fired, the authors emphasized. Investigators found a satellite shot. It turned out that the pipe was damaged in a vulnerable place where it enters the surface. One of the interlocutors in Nikolaev said that the invaders undermined the water supply system on April 12. In 8 hours, about 40 million liters of water resulted out of it.
In the area of water leakage, flooding was observed. Air Force journalists found satellite images that show Russian troops near the explosion area. In the photo you can see 4 tanks next to the pipe. The head of the Nikolaev regional military administration Vitaliy Kim confirmed that the area is under the control of the invaders. According to him, the water supply wanted to be repaired, but because of active fights they could not.
Former acting The head of the Kherson Ova Dmitry Butri added that in Nikolaev negotiated with the Russians about the admission to the place of damage to repair crews. The invaders did not allow public utilities to the object. The pictures of the damaged water supply system were shown to Western military experts. "The likelihood that this is the result of a casual shot is very small.
It is extremely unlikely that it was the result of a deliberate fire strike from closed positions," said criminalist Chris Kob Smith, who served in the British army and worked for 3 years by inspector for more than 20 years UN arms in Iraq. Smith does not believe that the explosion had caused tank shells, because there were no obvious extortions nearby. According to the expert, the explosives were laid either under the pipe or on top.
Security expert Michael Vilan, who has served in the British army for over 20 years, agreed with Smith's findings. Investigators found another damage to the water supply system. Satellite images show Russian military equipment near the pipe. UN experts interviewed attributed the Nikolaev water supply to the category of objects that are especially protected, necessary for the survival of civilians. The destruction of the water supply is directly contrary to international humanitarian law.
Vlad Nikolaev declares the need to protect the area near the pipeline from the strikes of Russian artillery. Before the engineers repair the damaged areas, the sappers must mine. When it happens and when the townspeople can get clean tap water, it is unclear, the authors of the material were concluded. Recall that at night from October 16 to 17, the Russian army launched Iranian drones-Kamikadze on Nikolaev, who got into the terminal for overloading sunflower oil.
