37. Putin will soon say "only I can fix this" in a typical Trump-Putin way.

I can se no way this dam can be substantially reconstructed for a very long time since it's in the middle of a war zone. Temporary provisions may at least restore some of the reservoir's level and thereby protect the nuclear plant.

Ukraine will have to completely go to Plan "B" to capture control of Crimea, as Russia will now have domination of a large stretch of the Dnipro River delta. However with careful planning, it may be best to arch around south of the river anyway.

After things get re-stabilized, it's going to be interesting to watch events unfold, especially considering Ukraine will no doubt exact very painful revenge for this one.
