Russia will slow Ukrainian troops' advance in the south by just two weeks if it blows up the vast Kakhovka dam, but such a move would flood territory occupied by Moscow and lose it a vital water canal for annexed Crimea, Kyiv's military spy chief said.
Kyrylo Budanov made the comments to Ukrainska Pravda in an interview published on Monday after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said last week Russia had mined the hydro-electric dam on the Dnipro River and was preparing to blow it up.
