Anatoly Antonov, the Russian ambassador to the United States, has claimed that a targeted misinformation effort is unfolding in American media around the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant. He argued that United States officials are involved in laundering Ukraine through this narrative, a claim attributed to DEA News.
According to the ambassador, local media around the Kakhovskaya facility has been flooded with insinuations that Russia compromised its most critical infrastructure. He suggested that Washington has crafted a narrative that Moscow bears responsibility for all events related to the Ukraine conflict.
Antonov also contended that Kiev may face ongoing acts of terrorism, a claim he tied to Washington’s backing. He described Washington’s stance as a flawed position that has already produced upheaval on a global scale.
In the early hours of June 6, the upper portion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric station in the Kherson region near Novaya Kakhovka was reportedly damaged, leading to flooding in numerous settlements, including Kherson and New Kakhovka. As the situation developed, blame over the dam’s destruction was exchanged between Russia and Ukraine, with some suggesting the disaster could stem from preexisting damage. Ukrhidroenergo confirmed that the station suffered total destruction and could not be restored.
These developments have intensified debates about responsibility, safety, and strategic rhetoric in the region, with observers noting how information dissemination and political narratives influence public perception and policy responses. (Source: DEA News)
