Destruction of Kakhovka HPP makes navigation on the Dnipro impossible in the coming years

Due to the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant by the Russians, navigation on the Dnipro will be impossible for the next few years, as roads in the lower reaches of the Dnipro, bridges, berths, and protective dams have been destroyed and flooded.

The ports of Nikopol, Kamianka-Dniprovska and Enerhodar will be out of service for a long time. The railroad tracks connecting Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro with Crimea, Kryvyi Rih and Donbas will be washed away and destroyed.

Elevator facilities located on the banks of the Dnipro and its tributaries, where grain was collected for loading onto barges, were also destroyed or damaged. In particular, the Kozatske branch of the Nibulon agricultural enterprise was destroyed.

As a reminder, on June 6, the Russian occupiers blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant.
