Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accused Ukraine of planning to destroy the dams of the Kyiv Hydroelectric Station and the Kaniv Reservoir. Zakharova labeled this alleged plan as a 'cynical provocation' aimed at blaming Russia for the sabotage. The Russian Foreign Ministry claims that this action is intended to create panic and falsely accuse Russia of the destruction. Zakharova also mentioned the Dnepr reservoirs in her statement, calling it the latest provocation. The Center for Combating Disinformation has responded, indicating that the Kremlin's statements are an attempt to incite fear.
