Russia begins stripping transformers from Northern Crimean Canal pumping stations

According to ATESH, Russia has begun removing transformers with a capacity of 10 to 40 MVA from the pumping stations of the Northern Crimean Canal. These facilities have been inactive since Moscow destroyed the Kakhovka Dam. The dismantling of transformers marks a new development in the region. The pumping stations, once used to supply water to Crimea, are now idle. ATESH, a partisan group, provided this information. The removal of these transformers may indicate Russia's attempt to repurpose the equipment for other uses. However, the exact extent and purpose of the dismantling remain unclear. The Northern Crimean Canal is a critical waterway, and the idleness of its pumping stations is a direct consequence of the dam's destruction. These actions occur amid ongoing tensions in the area. ATESH regularly reports on developments in occupied Crimea. Further updates will be monitored.
