That would explain why the Russians wanted to blow the Nova Kakhovka Dam. It would prevent a giant pincer movement from the Kherson direction if the Ukrainians are attacking South along Zaphorizhzhia.
Yes, from their perspective it was a tactical necessity and I even heard it described as making sense from western analytical perspectives I've heard for that reason. However, it's just another monstrous decision by the RUF, a war crime and provided ample additional suffering, grief and misery to the ukrainian citizens in the region for russia's stupidity. Terrible all around. Hoping Ukraine still has great success on it's offensive.
