How will the events around the Nova Kakhovka dam unfold? What impact will they have on Ukraine’s energy sector and the overall economy? We sat down with Anton Antonenko, Vice President of the DiXi Group, to find out. 1/10
Any predictions about further developments surrounding the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam are extremely complicated, as it is the biggest technological disaster in the last decade, which, in addition, was purposefully organized. 2/10
Additionally, 🇺🇦 access to the site is hampered, making it impossible to properly assess the situation. As a result, 🇺🇦 will have to monitor the extent of water spill over the next few days, which will shape the understanding of the disaster’s impact on the following factors.3/10

What points to Russia’s responsibility for destroying the Kakhovka dam? A short thread 1/
Russia has occupied the Kakhovka HPP since Feb 2022, the early days of the full-scale invasion. Ukraine said Russia had mined the dam last year. Ukraine was talking about the risk of the dam explosion by Russia last autumn when Ukrainians were preparing to re-capture Kherson. 2/
Russians controlled the dam and had all the capacity to blow it up. Shelling the dam from a distance would hardly produce such destruction. Earlier, Ukrainians found it difficult even to damage Antonivskyi bridge near Kherson from a distance 3/

👉 What will be the consequences of the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka Dam for residential areas, industry, and agriculture in nearby regions? UkraineWorld spoke with Vitaliy Selyk, co-founder of the Brave to Rebuild Volunteer Initiative. 1/8
Russia has triggered a chain of catastrophic events by blowing up the Kakhovka dam. This crime is equivalent to the worst war crimes, such as launching a nuclear weapon or blowing up a nuclear power plant. The south and southeast of Ukraine are going to be heavily affected. 2/8
Ukrhydroenergo projects that the water level in the south of Kherson Oblast will increase over the next four days. Vast areas are likely to be flooded, up to Kinburn Spit and Mykolaiv. Thus, a large number of households, animals, and farms are under threat. 3/8

What are the consequences of Russia’s destruction of the Nova Kakhovka Dam? What dangers will result for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant? We asked Victoria Voytsitska, former Ukrainian MP and Secretary of the Rada’s Committee on Fuel, Energy, Nuclear Policies, & Security 1/8
With this morning’s destruction of the Nova Kakhovka Dam, Russia has created three set of problems: the direct consequences of the dam and its hydro plant being destroyed, nuclear safety issues, and water supplies to Crimea. 2/8
For the energy sector, the destruction of the dam is not going to have major consequences beyond the loss of electricity in residential areas due to the flooding. The hydro plant has not been generating any energy since the start of the full-scale invasion. 3/8

Environmental impact of Kakhovka dam destruction, our analytic brief. -- based upon our talk with Anatoliy Pavelko, lawyer, and environmental scientist at Human Rights Organization “Environment-People-Law”. 1/6
The explosion of the dam can lead to the disruption and destruction of the Kakhovka Reservoir ecosystem and all ecosystems located in Dnipro below the Kakhovka dam. 2/6
Water pollution. Garbage, wastewater, and agrochemicals from flooded areas might get to Dnipro River with the water flow, and then it can get to Dnipro Estuary, and, finally, to the Black Sea. 3/6

⚡️the consequences of the disaster can last decades. Kakhovska hydro power plant was built in 1950s and changed the ecosystems in the region. Earlier it was a place of Velykyi Luh, the Great Meadow, a co-existence of rivers and land, a place of Ukrainian Cossacks 1/
The construction of Kakhovska hydropower plant in 1950s changed this ecosystem, putting many of Cossack places along the Dnipro river under water. It took several decades for local ecosystem to adapt 2/
Now we have the reverse change, which will destroy the existing ecosystem but will hardly bring the Velykyi Luh back 3/
