But Chernobyl — another Russian desecration of Ukrainian soil — was caused by Soviet incompetence. This massive ecological crime was deliberate.By destroying the dam, Vladimir Putin meant to impede Ukraine’s counteroffensive to drive Russia out of occupied Ukrainian territory, a critical undertaking which has just gotten started.He must not be allowed to succeed.Ukrainian forces will now be unable to cross the flooded Dnipro River with armored vehicles in coming weeks (although this approach had not been likely) since the land on both sid...
