Russia says Ukraine has already declared its intention to blow up the dam in December
Russia’s representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzia, assured this Tuesday that Ukraine had already declared in December its intention to blow up the New Kajovka dam, on the Dnieper River, and cites an article in The Washington Post in the that it is claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had even tested HIMARS missile attacks against one of the locks of the Novokajovskaya dam. In addition, during his speech at the UN Security Council meeting, he recalled that Russia had already warned in a document published in October in the Security Council of the possibility of this attack. For his part, the permanent representative of Ukraine to the United Nations, Sergiy Kyslytsya, has dismissed Russia’s statement as “predictable” and has accused them of using the “same technique” of blaming others for their crimes, and has given the examples from Mariupol, Bucha, Izium and the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
