Hydrologist and Doctor of Geographical Sciences Viktor Vyshnevskyi made the remarks on Ukrainian Radio , Ukrinform reports. According to Vyshnevskyi, the Kyiv HPP dam is “strong enough for all Kyiv residents to feel at ease.” “The dam's pressure front is 42 kilometers long. The dam is 30 meters high and approximately 100 meters wide at its base. In other words, it is a colossal structure that could not realistically be destroyed even by ten missiles,” Vyshnevskyi said. He recalled that on August 18, 1941, the retreating Red Army blew up the dam of the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant (DniproHES). “History has preserved the amount of explosives used: 20 metric tons. Even so, the hydroelectric complex was not completely destroyed.
