Russia accused of sabotaging Ukrainian dams to slow counteroffensive.
Ukraine has accused Russia of destroying another dam in occupied territory to slow down its nascent counteroffensive. The dam was in the eastern Donetsk Oblast, which has been a hotspot for fighting throughout nine years of war between the two neighbors. Ukrainian officials have reported significant advances in multiple areas, including around the devastated city of Bakhmut, which was the epicenter of the Russian winter offensive. Russian military officials have claimed to have inflicted significant casualties on advancing Ukrainian units, though Russian military bloggers have echoed Kyiv's reports of Ukrainian successes.
