Okay, I'll bite. What, in your personal opinion, is the reason for Russian military do blow up the dam? What is the benefit?
And I could easily flip the question around to OP. Why would Ukraine blow up their own dam, flooding their own territory and potentially crippling their own nuclear power plant? And making a counteroffensive across the Dnipro river that much harder?
It's not to deprive Crimea of water ahead of the counteroffensive, Crimea's reservoirs are full right now so they've got a year's worth in the tank. That's about the only possible benefit I can think of that Ukraine might have got out of this, and even if it were so it would be a trivial benefit compared to the costs. Crimea's water supply isn't going to make a difference to the actual fight that's about to happen there.
It's... it's a war zone, dude. What do you think happened? The dam just exploded all by itself?
The same reason Russia had to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline: they didn't have any and they didn't do it, America blew up the pipeline :^)

There are only 2 types of people who deny that Russia blew up the pipeline:
defending an evil regime because somehow putin is communist and deserves to be defended in this?
Putin is not a communist and no serious communist claims otherwise, being against NATO and the US's proxy war against Russia does not mean that I support Putin and his horrible government.
And fired a missle at Poland
Fired a what at whom?

Poland, NATO say missile strike wasn’t a Russian attack
Edit: downvoted for correcting misinfo quoting NATO and the Polish government, that's pretty funny :P
I mentioned Polen middle thing as similar to Nord steam thing: No Russian involvement
I see, I read it as a serious claim of them doing it since it was a pretty common talking point a few months ago, sorry hehe :P
