Russian occupiers in Crimea speak of consequences for peninsula after destruction of Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant

The destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) could have negative consequences for the Crimean peninsula, since the North Crimean Canal is likely to lose a lot of water, the Crimean invaders said. Source: Sergey Aksyonov, Russian collaborator and the so-called head of Crimea, on Telegram; Ihor Sirota, Head of Ukrhydroenergo, on air of the national joint 24/7 newscast Quote from Aksyonov: "Regarding the situation associated with the explosion on the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station.

There is no threat of flooding in Crimea. However, there is a risk that the North Crimean Canal's water levels will [drastically - ed.] decrease. " Details: At the same time, he assures that at present there are about 40 million cubic metres of water reserves in the canal, while the reservoirs, the filling of which previously had problems, are now allegedly filled by about 80%.

"There is more than enough drinking water.

Work is underway to minimise water losses in the canal. In the coming days, the dynamics and possible risks will be clear," says the collaborator. Details: In turn, the head of Ukrhydroenergo, Ihor Sirota, is confident that the Crimean Canal will remain without water, and thus there will be problems with water supply in temporarily occupied Crimea.

He added that after the liberation of Kherson Oblast and the Crimean peninsula, Ukraine will have to solve this issue, and "solve it very quickly".
