If successful, this will permanently flood one of the largest cities in Europe.
Meanwhile, US forbids Ukraine from stopping it. pic.twitter.com/16paLGfG45

But the important part, Khohols, in some stroke of pure genius, built their capital city downstream of a massive dam, so big that the resulting lake is called the Sea of Kiev. For some reason they didn't consider what would happen to their biggest and most important city if the dam breaks, and considering the shit they pulled at Chernobyl there's always a non-zero chance that Kiev will be dragged into the Black Sea. Slavs
Anyway, Putin just droned the dam Didn't managed to break it tho. Although there's still time, and there can always be more attempts in the future
Video from /k/ about what would happen if the dam breaks, don't know or care how accurate this is

Egypt has all the major cities build under a big dam.
If the big nile dam collapses it could flood and displace 60% of Egypt's population

Egypt at least completely depends on the fricking Nile so they probably didn't had much options. Ukraine is fricking full of rivers, they could have placed their capital somewhere where it won't get wiped off the fricking face of the fricking Earth.
