Uhm was kind of my point, Why would Russia flood Russian occupied areas? With a potential to harm Russian and create a tactical disadvantage.
Do you realize Russia was on the south where the flash flooding did the most damage and posed only a risk the Russian troops right? Ukraine is positioned on the north and were under no risk.
Stop believing all the MSM lies.
That whole region was a possible point of attack by the Ukrainians which doesn't have to be seriously defended by the russians now. Ukrainians cannot attack through the flooding and mud. The dam was also one of the few crossing points of the Dnieper River at that point.
