Many videos from the blown-up dam of the Kakhovka reservoir in eastern Ukraine on Tuesday morning showed large amounts of water flowing away unhindered. A few hours after the explosion, the dam and hydroelectric power plant were swallowed up by the floodwaters of the dammed Dnieper River. In all likelihood, the Russian army blew up the dam to slow down the Ukrainian offensive, although Moscow denies this.
