Vladimir Putin plans to release rushing floodwaters through 80 Ukrainian towns by bombarding a dam with missile strikes after filling it with mines, it has been claimed.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of gearing up to pummel the Kahkokva dam, which is situated outside Kherson along the Dnieper River in southern Ukraine.
In a videoconference with EU leaders last night, he said intelligence indicates the Kremlin's troops have been mining the dam ready for an attempt to blow it up.
