Petraeus, David (6 de junio de 2023). «06/06/2023 PM». PM. PM. (Entrevista) (BBC Radio 4). Escena en 38m28s. Consultado el 8 de junio de 2023. «Petraeus: I'm a bit mystified as to why the Russians would have done that if they did it deliberately with an explosion, given that it causes great problems for them in areas that they occupy including this particular area ... The downsides for the Russians seem to be quite considerable and that obviously raises questions about why they would have sought to cause this kind of significant downside for them. I don't see any real implications for the counteroffensive. I don't see other military implications that are particularly large.»
«Russia-Ukraine war live: evacuations under way near Kherson after Kyiv accuses Moscow of destroying dam». The Guardian. 6 de junio de 2023. Consultado el 6 de junio de 2023. «The Russian-imposed mayor of the occupied settlement of Nova Kakhovk near the damaged dam [Vladimir Leontyev] ... said that there was no explosion at the station, but night strikes led to the destruction and water began to uncontrollably be discharged downstream. According to him, the armed forces of Ukraine continue to shell the city. The blow to the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, presumably, was delivered from an MLRS. Leontyev said that it is still impossible to predict whether the Kakhovskaya HPP will continue to collapse. According to him, the hydroelectric power plant has suffered serious damage and it is presumably impossible to repair it. As the mayor added, the destruction at the station will lead to problems in the delivery of water to the Crimea.»
