The destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam is ahumanitarian and ecological disaster. Satellite images already showtotally flooded localitieshouses under water and disappeared towns.

In total, 80 towns are at risk and have already had to Thousands of people are evacuated. Ukraine has assured that although the floods have affected both sides, the Ukrainian side will suffer “eight times more” than the Russian.

At the moment, it remains unknown who is behind this attack, and it is that both Moscow as Kyiv They accuse each other of being responsible.

One of the main questions to find out which of the two sides is behind the rupture of this dam is to know What benefit could they get out of it?

Western intelligence claims that, at least in the short term, it is the Kremlin that gains the most, and that is that even the governor of Kherson, imposed by Moscow, has admitted that he favors his troops.

In fact, the plans that Zelenski could have in this area they will have to delay now, at least one month.

“It benefits him because he has blown up the only remaining crossing point in the lower Dnieper and makes it impossible for Ukraine to launch an offensive,” said Yago Rodríguez, who assured that it is difficult to think thatit could be an accident.

However, with this attack Ukraine also could get some benefits, and it is that most of the flooded territories are under Russian control. In addition, Crimea, which Russia annexed, has been affected because Nova Kakhovka gave them drinking water.

On the other hand, the Russian defenses on the Dnieper river also They have suffered a severe blow. “The Russian defense system would be disrupted. Both its minefields and the trenches would have been flooded. This would favor a Ukrainian attack in the coming weeks,” Guillermo Pulido has indicated.

Many unknowns surround what the United Nations confirms is a monumental catastrophe.
