The occupiers are blowing up hydraulic structures in the areas where Ukrainian troops are counterattacking.

Quote: "They are now blowing up small hydraulic structures in various settlements every day."

Details: According to Dudar, Russian troops have placed mines at a large number of hydraulic structures in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts.

Dudar has noted that the consequences of these actions are not yet large-scale, with each such explosion affecting the agricultural land of one or two villages, but it happens regularly.

Background: Russian occupation forces blew up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) on the morning of 6 June.

The Strategic Communication Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that the Russians’ blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP will not prevent Ukraine’s defence forces from liberating occupied territories.

Russian occupation forces also blew up a dam on the Mokri Yaly River in Donetsk Oblast, causing flooding on both sides of the river.
