An OSINT journalist on Twitter carried out the most detailed investigation yet into the dam's destruction - far more thorough than the Nev York Times article mentioned elsewhere in this discussion. The conclusions are contentious, but the evidence is clear - backed up by multiple hydraulic engineers.

- fractallyte 3y agoThanks for that, I didn't realize! TwiX is really different now... :-/
- tomohawk 3y agoWhen Russia invaded and occupied the area, they took responsibility for maintaining the dam. They are the ones that started the massive outflow of water. So, whether they mismanaged the dam and ended up destroying it, or blew it up - they are responsible.
- fractallyte 3y agoYes, OSINTJOURNO was quite clear about this too, although it may not have been evident in that particular TwiX thread. The ultimate responsibility lies with the Russian occupiers.
