- **The evidence *suggests*? Weasel wording.**
- **The evidence does not explicitly support the contention**. (*in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt)*
- **I’ve yet to see any visual indication of an explosion other than the fake news released immediately afterwards. Has anyone else?**
- **This is the same type of claim that followed the bombing of the North Stream pipeline- Initially blaming Russia, which was ridiculous. That narrative has now changed to blame Ukraine**.

[Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/evidence-suggests-russia-blew-kakhovka-dam-ukraine-new-york-times-2023-06-18/)

June 18 (Reuters) – ***Evidence suggests*** this month’s destruction of the huge Kakhovka dam in a Russian-controlled area of Ukraine resulted from an inside explosion set off by Russia, the New York Times said.

**Citing engineers and explosive experts**, the newspaper said on Friday that its investigation found evidence suggesting an explosive charge in a passageway running through the dam’s concrete base detonated, destroying the structure on June 6.

**“The evidence clearly suggests the dam was crippled by an explosion** set off by the side that controls it: Russia,” the Times said.

Separately, a team of international legal experts assisting Ukraine’s prosecutors in their investigation said **in preliminary findings on Friday it was [“highly likely”](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/highly-likely-russia-behind-ukraine-dam-collapse-international-experts-2023-06-16/)** the collapse in Ukraine’s Kherson region was caused by explosives planted by Russians.

**However..**

“Erosion from water cascading through the ***gates could have led to a failure if the dam were poorly designed, or the concrete was substandard,*** but engineers called that unlikely,” the newspaper said.

**Or if the dam had been degraded by previous bombings?**
