The explosion that the Russians staged at the Kakhovka HEPP completely destroyed the engine room from the inside. Now the station cannot be restored.
Syrota spoke about the current situation due to the destruction of the Kakhovka HEPP by the Russians.
Syrota believes that the Russians will not be able to destroy the Kyiv HEPP.
