Yes, this will result in massive economical and environmental damages. And all that to create a temporary water barrier for a few days and turn the area into a swamp for maybe a few weeks.

I also think Russians do not care about local population. So they won’t evacuate properly.

Lives will be shattered, villages and houses destroyed.
Also, there are reports that flood water detonates mines. Allegedly this video is shot today on the Russian occupied side. 2/ pic.twitter.com/ziodZbJj8W

This is Russia as is.
There is little military advantage. Russia is loosing and wants to destroy everything in its way. They have flooded their own lines of defense on the left bank. I hope they are leaving 3x
Росія здатна лише руйнувати та вбивати. І не зупиниться ні перед чим. Підрив Каховської ГЕС — черговий доказ цього і міжнародний злочин. Сьогодні загнані в кут окупанти вбивають та лишають без домівок тисячі людей, яких ще вчора хотіли «інтегрувати до рф». Людожерська тактика… pic.twitter.com/PHpqSqM4K6

Andriy Kostin, the prosecutor general of Ukraine, has issued a strong statement after the destruction of the Kakhovskaya HPP, which Ukrhydroenergo claims was destroyed by an explosion from inside the turbine hall. Kostin tweeted:
"Russia can only destroy and kill. And will stop at nothing. Blowing up the Kakhovskaya HPP is another proof of this and an international crime. Today, the cornered occupiers are killing and leaving thousands of people homeless, whom they wanted to “integrate into the Russian Federation” just yesterday. Cannibalistic “scorched earth” tactics worthy of Hitler. Anyone who still thinks that it is possible to talk about something with an aggressor should remember the streams of dirty water that wash away the homes of people who were sleeping peacefully. The end of the criminal Russian regime can only be one – defeat and a tribunal."
Russkiy mir...
