Major flooding in Ukraine after Dam destroyed; Some are comparing it to Hoover Dam

Revelations 6:3-4 “when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

Important Takeaways:

  • A Massive Ukraine Dam Has Been Destroyed, And Both Sides Are Pointing Fingers.
  • The destruction of a Ukrainian dam approaching the scale of America’s Hoover Dam has unleashed a devastating torrent of water in the country’s south. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky blamed Russia for damage to the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant.
  • Russian officials, however, say the attack on the dam was a “deliberate act of sabotage” by Ukraine, “linked to the fact that, having begun large-scale offensive operations two days ago, the Ukrainian armed forces are not achieving their aims.”
  • The BBC opines that Ukraine’s claims are “plausible” given major flooding in the region could hinder a Ukrainian counter-offensive – but the Ukrainians told The Washington Post in December that they had been considered blowing the dam, and even conducted a successful HIMARS test strike on its floodgates:
    • “The Ukrainians… even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper’s water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages.”
    • – Washington Post, December 29 2022
  • Several villages are currently believed to be submerged. The dam held back a volume of water roughly equivalent to the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
