Canal irrigating Crimea getting 'drastically less' water after Ukraine
dam blast, says Kremlin

A gaping hole punched in Ukraine's Nova Kakhovka dam that unleashed a
wall of floodwater means that the canal which has traditionally met
most of Crimea's water needs is receiving drastically less water, the
Kremlin warned on Tuesday.

Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for the breach at the
Russian-controlled dam, a human and ecological disaster which
coincided with intensified efforts by Kyiv to retake territory seized
by Russian forces.

Russia has been controlling the dam and the entire Kakhovka HPP for
more than a year. It is physically impossible to blow it up somehow
from the outside, by shelling. It was mined by the Russian occupiers.
And they blew it up.
