格雷格·迈尔斯：卡霍夫卡水坝的破坏对乌克兰的军事行动和当地平民造成了严重的影响。洪水使得原定在南部地区发起的反攻计划变得更加困难，因为河流的改道和水位上涨给军事行动带来了巨大的挑战。同时，洪水也对平民的安全和生活造成了威胁，尽管乌克兰方面表示在其控制区域内没有人员死亡的报告，但仍有许多平民流离失所，家园被毁。此外，由于水坝已被摧毁且该地区处于战争前线，调查水坝破坏事件的责任方将非常困难，但俄罗斯军队自战争初期就控制着水坝，乌克兰总统泽连斯基指责俄罗斯炸毁了水坝。然而，由于水坝规模巨大，单枚导弹无法将其摧毁，且乌克兰军队在附近，难以进行大规模破坏行动而不被发现。值得注意的是，目前为止，扎波罗热核电站并未受到直接威胁，但水坝的破坏确实对核电站的冷却系统造成了一定的影响。
