Though Western ‘news’ media have gotten their ‘explanation’ of this event from Ukraine’s Government, it never made sense that Russia would have wanted to flood, harm, and weaken, the entire western half of the territory that Russia now controls in the former Ukraine, including in Crimea (which was getting its water-supply from that dam).
The anonymous author of the “Moon of Alabama” website has a long and almost flawless record of accurately exposing realities that mainstream U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media had been hiding, and the latest such is his June 13th “Did Russia Destroy The Nova Kakhovka Dam?” His report there turns upside-down and inside-out the Ukrainian Government’s ‘explanation’ that the dam had been bombed not by a missile, but by an explosive device which had been placed there by saboteurs whom Ukraine’s Government assumes were from Russia. U.S.-Government-approved ‘news’-media accept and amplify that assumption, but “MoA” does not.
First, he quotes the New York Times and other U.S. Government mouthpieces presenting the Ukrainian Government’s ‘explanation’ of the blow-up; and then he rips it apart by noting the extremely relevant (but in U.S.-and-occupied lands ignored) fact, that on May 12th, Britain had supplied to Ukraine its “Storm Shadow” missiles that are designed to have a two-stage bombing-operation: first, a normal surface bomb, but then after it a fuse-ignited ground-penetrating bomb to explode deeper inside even a fortified and hardened underground target such as that dam was apparently blown up.
The British-supplied Storm Shadow weapon is perfect for this type of destruction — exploding from deep underground, instead of from the surface. And whereas Russia doesn’t have any Storm Shadows, Ukraine definitely does — ever since May 12th.
The present news-report about U.S.-and-allied lies is being simultaneously submitted for publication by all of the standard U.S.-Government mouthpiece propaganda-media, just in case any of them might finally want to go beyond their standard U.S.-Government-approved sources.
Ever since at least late 2022, Russia has been warning that Ukraine’s government wants to blow up that dam. For example, on 1 November 2022, Reuters headlined “Russia announces wider evacuation of occupied southern Ukraine”, and reported that,
“Due to the possibility of the use of prohibited methods of war by the Ukrainian regime, as well as information that Kyiv is preparing a massive missile strike on the Kakhovka hydroelectric station, there is an immediate danger of the Kherson region being flooded,” Vladimir Saldo, Russian-installed head of occupied Kherson province, said in a video message.
“Given the situation, I have decided to expand the evacuation zone by 15 km from the Dnipro,” he said. “The decision will make it possible to create a layered defence in order to repel Ukrainian attacks and protect civilians.”
Moscow has accused Kyiv of planning to use a so-called “dirty bomb” to spread radiation, or to blow up a dam to flood towns and villages in Kherson province. Kyiv says accusations it would use such tactics on its own territory are absurd, but that Russia might be planning such actions itself to blame Ukraine. …
Saldo, the Russian-imposed occupation leader for the province, identified seven towns on the east bank that would now be evacuated, comprising the main populated settlements along that stretch of the river.
Even U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media occasionally report relevant facts when they find them useful to mention in a ‘news’-report that has an anti-Russian “spin.”
So: we know that Russia’s Government was trying to protect the residents in that region against this attack, but U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media have unquestioningly accepted the Ukrainian government’s accusation that Russia’s Government did it. And, now, an extremely likely explanation has finally been provided, which implicates both Ukraine’s government and UK’s Government as having done it.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
barajul nu a fost bombardat,au fost trimise in apa butoaie cu explozibil care pluteau in apa si cand au ajuns la baraj au fost detonate,asa se explica ca doar partea de sus a fost detonata
ukraine: we’re going to blow up the dam
>the dam blows up
ukraine: r-r-ussia did it!!!
😂😂😂
ah yes, o what about his? ru state tv admits it blew up the kakhova dam, and says quote: “it’s not a crime” because “we also did blew up a dam in ww2 and also there it served the red army and was never called a crime”. here listen to it yourselves !!! here: rlu.ru/3j84x
😂😂😂😂😂
yea sure they flooded their own defensive positions for shits and giggles. the atrophied brain of a shill…
do you genuinely believe somebody falls for your crap. i mean no offense, but do you?
i want to hear the song called “casimir the great was bad because he gave freedoms to jews”.
next step towards world war 3. usa jews now advacate giving nuclear weapons to zelenski’s regime. see: rlu.ru/3js6w “the simple fact is this,” michael rubin writes. “the united states maintains nuclear weapons because they are an effective deterrent against other nuclear states. ukraine should have the same right.”
slava cocaini!…. -heroin slava….!
the sheeple in the “west” will “believe” any bs they are fed. most of them got triple covaid$ death squirted and booooosted for their “health”. how much of the herd still “believes” that the united snakes “landed” on the moon and played golf almost a century ago. it doesn’t matter what tax cattle “believe”.
it only matters that mother russia is destroying the anglozionazi empire of shit especially natostan aka the evil eussr. z all the way to the brussels sewer by way of berlinski again if required.
i don’t remember which telegram channel it was but there is footage of the dam taking multiple hits from artillery. the ukrainian recording is hiding behind a nearby building.
the dam destruction only benefits ufa military—many villages harmed, agriculture damaged, —water supply to crimea threatened
nobody with a brain believes that western aggressive warmongers are trying to save lives. aggressive warmongering is a crime but totally ignored by the farcical icc and the cockold’s at the un.
it appears that it is vital for the london-brussels-wash. d.c. cabal to create the perception that russia is to blame for everything (china is in the batters circle so to speak).why would russia, when winning this war, want to participate in the western madness of the lying game?
i’m not convinced about the missile theory , for me a torpedo or an u.u.a.v. could have the same results for a fraction of the costs and are much more discreet. plus look at the damage done : only the top part of the dam was blown up as if the explosion was near the surface : not very efficient for a penetrating missile that can dive in meters of concrete…
the beginning of the end will start when the dam breaks in euphrates.
ukraine is invading the donbass regions which they terrorized since 2014
the only “credible explanation” anyone needs to have is that the kakhovka dam… nordstream pipeline… ma-17… would have never happened had the legitimate yanukovitch government never been “overthrown” by the same group that wants to take it to wwiii !…
the limeys were the original dam busters of yore with their bouncing barrel-bombs.
