The Russian military is trying to prevent the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along the rivers Inhulets and Siverskyi Donets. But missile attacks on the dams did not bring the desired result, Report informs referring to the British Ministry of Defense page on Twitter.
“On 21 and 22 September 2022, Russia struck the Pechenihy dam on the Siverskyy Donets River using short range ballistic missiles or similar weapons. This follows a strike on the Karachunivske Dam near Krivyy Rih in central Ukraine on 15 September 2022.
Ukrainian forces are advancing further downstream along both rivers. As Russian commanders become increasingly concerned about their operational set-backs, they are probably attempting to strike the sluice gates of dams, in order to flood Ukrainian military crossing points.
The attacks are unlikely to have caused significant disruption to Ukrainian operations due to the distance between the damaged dams and the combat zones,” the ministry tweeted.
