> That's russophobic fiction.
It's reality, I know that Russia and its supporters need their safe space from reality but unfortunately reality says they blew up the dam.
Theres multiple videos of Russians admitting to blowing up the dam, and theres also evidence they blew up another dam.
Committing war crimes with impunity to stop the enemies advance has been a Russian tactic for a long tine.

>> "We mined everything on Kakhovka HPP. So, they'll f*king blow it up and will wash away Ukrainian Armed Forces on the other side" - a Russian says. The video was published on 10 December, 2022.

>> Russian soldier Yegor Guzenko, who is fighting in the Kherson region, admitted that Russia blew up the dam in Nova Kakhovka to stop Ukrainian army
He also said that the Russian army should also blow up other dams on the Dnieper
> "Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages.
> There were many more attacks on that dam by the Ukraine [1] but I won't bother to try to find non-Russian sources, the WP article is enough.
This is a typical Russian tactic of misinformation, Russia has themselves aid they hit the dam and has Russian propagandists where on TV saying they will blow up Kyiv dam if they want to.
