It’s hard to get any news here that’s not from western biased sources since everything gets censored and blocked to ‘keep us safe from Russian propaganda’. So it’s difficult to look into all these specific events. But a quick look shows it was a funeral for Andriy Kozyr, a nazi POS. Obviously there would be plenty other nazis. Not just some normal funeral. While it’s unfortunate there are civilian casualties (for which we only have accounts from one side) it can not be sold as purely hitting civilians. And the Kakhovka Dam was indeed held by Russia. And you believe it’s not a ridiculous story that they would blow it up knowing the north (UA) ground is higher and the lower south side where the Russian troop are would flood? It also cut off water supply for Crimea and endangered the cooling of the Zaporizia nuclear power plant. So logic would suggest this is as much a BS as them targeting that same plant under their control.

Russia claimed that he was a neo-Nazi, but I don’t see any evidence for that. It’s not like Russian media aren’t biased. That’s how it always works: both sides try to deflect casualties they caused and present casualties caused by the other side as war crimes. Armies sometimes take actions that damage their own side if the broader military benefit is worth it. In this case dam’s destruction disrupted Ukrainian plans for a Dnipro crossing operation. It was at the time of Ukranian counter-offense. Since it was an inner explosion, I have a hard time believing that Ukrainian saboteurs came to the dam unnoticed and detonated. This was not like planting a small bomb near a road. Destroying a huge hydroelectric dam is not easy. And Russia didn’t catch anyone or present any evidence of that afterwards.
