⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💥 Russian strikes on #Pechenezh reservoir in #Kharkov Region⚡️
For the second day in a row, Ukrainian channels are reporting on the attacks of the Russian armed forces on the dam of the Pechenezh reservoir. Despite the lack of objective control pictures showing the facts of the attacks on the dam, the shelling of the dam on the Seversky Donets is not illogical from a military point of view. But only in the short term.
Given the withdrawal of Russian Forces from the Kharkov region and the AFU's attempts to build crossings and capture Krasny #Lyman, as well as develop an offensive on #Kremennaya and #Lysychansk, raising the water in the river could be a temporary solution to partially "freeze" the front line.
Yes, it would wash away the established crossings, partially flood the coastal settlements and possibly force Ukrainian units to relocate along the banks of the #SeverskyDonets.
In the future, the crossings - especially after the rains in autumn - will be much more difficult for Ukrainian forces to manage. After the retreat of the water level, the problem of the flooded seabed and flood plains will remain. This problem will also have to be solved.
Finally, the Ukrainian formations have to build the crossings without gravel and not along the dried riverbed.
At the same time, however, the level of the river will drop upstream. In the region of #Khotomli, Stary Saltov, #Rubizhnoye, #Volchansk and on the Russian-Ukrainian border - there it will be easier to cross the river.
So, if Russian forces do indeed destroy the Pechenezh dam, it should be done as soon as possible - for example, to cut off and defeat the AFU grouping between the Seversky Donets and #Oskol.
Because the effect of such blows will be cancelled out over time.
However, given the hasty withdrawal of Russian Forces from the #Kharkov region, this is not to be expected in the coming weeks.
