No threat of Kyiv HPP dam breach following Russian strike - disinfo watchdog

It is impossible to destroy the Kyiv HPP dam with missiles while Russians exploit the topic only to incite panic.

That’s according to Andriy Kovalenko, chief of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, Ukrinform reports.

"There are no threats regarding the Kyiv HPP dam. It is impossible to destroy it with missile. It is not worth comparing with Kherson region where the dam was mined from within. The Russians are exploiting the topic to incite panic, nothing more," Kovalenko stressed.
