The Khakhovka dam in southern Ukraine was mysteriously damaged, triggering intense flooding, this week.
A Ukrainian official claims Russia blew it up to prevent a counteroffensive in the south.
She said that Russia is now re-deploying its most combat-ready units to more needed areas.
Ukrainian deputy defense minister Hanna Maliar said on Telegram on Sunday that Russia is now moving its most combat-ready units, including marines, airborne troops, and the 49th army, away from Kherson.
She claimed that this backs up the theory that Russian forces sabotaged the dam in order to narrow the possible areas that Ukraine's army could take action.
