Pretty much unverifiable and one-sided sources. Ukraine has not regularly shelled the dam. However, right now the RF is effectively destroying dams along the path of the Ukrainian advances near Makarivka, in Zapo region, just in case anyone could hold a doubt about this being a "modus operandi".

Curious how the propaganda machine is so disconnected from the RF Army.

I think they're destroying dams to wash away their own minefields and strongholds, to make it easier for Ukrainians to advance
Sounds westPRlogical

The nature of the destruction of the dam directly hints that it was an accident. Something in the style of Ukraine long and systematically bombarded the dam, so material fatigue accumulated and partial destruction occurred due to increased water pressure, when upstream Ukraine opened the floodgates to raise the water level in the Kakhovka reservoir. An accident with evidence pointing to the fault of Ukraine.

But I don’t really believe in accidents that happen right at the last moment before the counter-offensive of Ukraine and confuse her with all the plans to capture Energodar and the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, as well as to build crossings across the Dnieper, for which the Armed Forces of Ukraine were also actively preparing, judging by the supply of pontoon equipment from the West.

Meanwhile, minesweepers were found about the absence of which, during a recent attempt to break through in the Orekhovskoye direction, I was surprised by several messages above. Judging by these frames, the Armed Forces of Ukraine simultaneously lost all three Leopard 2R HMBV heavy BMRs delivered from Finland, as well as the only Bergepanzer 3 Buffel ARV delivered from Canada.

In total, according to my information, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had six such demining machines, and four of them were lost in one attack. This proves the seriousness of the breakout attempt on June 8th. The current statements about the capture of several villages in the Vremievsky ledge are just informational noise to fill the vacuum that has arisen due to the strange voluntary silence of Ukraine about its counteroffensive. Minefields have become a serious problem for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and it is not clear how to solve it. Here we see the work of the newest system "Agriculture". That is, even partially made gaps in the minefield are filled back up and everything needs to be done again.

- Ukraine did not systematically bombard anything.
- The theory of material fatigue is from outside this world. Fatigue is a completely different phenomenon.
- Leaving the dam there leaves a crossing path. RF thinking = better destroyed, just in case - it is not Moscow so it is ok to destroy.
- While the area is flooded and probably in the next weeks (when the RF needs all troops in Zapo) the terrain will be unsuitable for operations.
- Destroying the dam follows a pattern of destroying critical infrastructure, like missiles on electrical infrastructure, like destroying schools and hospitals, like flattening cities... is just the way the RF army does war. They go a shoe, they throw the shoe to your face.

Probably according to your sources the counteroffensive would be impossible, because everything that is being used was previously destroyed by your precision-posting. I am sure there will be many loses, that is what happens when you fight. Again, there are videos "proving" that more Leopards have been destroyed than the ones actually sent to the front for now.
