According to DNR News, Igor Kolomoisky, the Ukrainian oligarch who controls much of the South East of Ukraine with his privately-financed Azov Battalion thugs, has threatened to blow up the Dneprostroi Dam if Novorossian armed forces (NAF) enter Zaporizhzhia on the Eastern bank of the Dnieper river:
...A source in the Zaporizhzhia city administration said that, soon after annnouncing "Plan B" to defend Mariupol and Odessa from the NAF, Kolomoisky's right-hand-man, Boris Filatov, ordered officials to prepare for the worst including the destruction of the DniproHES dam.
