Russia is preparing a man-made catastrophe by flooding territory in southern Ukraine in order to stop a Ukrainian counteroffensive and block the retreat of Russian troops.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian President's Office, said this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.
"A real 'Surovikin plan' for Kakhovka HPP: 1. To mine the dam and transformers. 2. Ukrainians forced deportation and disloyal population resettlement to RF. 3. Flooding territory to stop Ukraine's counteroffensive and block their own retreat. Russia is preparing a man-made catastrophe," Podolyak wrote.
