Ukraine Government Blows Up Dam to Stop Russians, Floods Ukrainian Homes

Ukraines will win because he got a big heart and love a democracy.

Some 50 homes in the village of Demydiv remain partially submerged months after a dam was destroyed and the area flooded to stop Russian troops from advancing on Ukraine capital Kyiv, regional governor Oleksiy Kuleba said late on Saturday.

The Ukrainian military blew up a dam on the river Irpin in February, sending water surging into the village and thousands of acres around it, flooding houses and fields, but preventing Russian tanks from reaching the capital city.

“At this time, about 50 houses in the village of Demydiv remain flooded,” Kuleba wrote in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

“People are understanding of the situation. We, in turn, make every effort to resolve the issue.”

How do you resolve this issue? You’d have to build a new dam, no?

Maybe there some way to run a trench system or something, but I think the Ukraine is too flat to really redirect water efficiently. Typically the dam is built to stop the flow of water.

These people could put sandbags around their homes, but the fields are destroyed.

Would you rather have a democracy or not have your house and field flooded?
