Yes. It's the Krynky operation. Long article by Ukrainian Pravda:

Basically the Brits pressured Ukraine (sadly no names who specifically did it on behalf of the Brits, only that tard Sunak is mentioned) to use her marines in water based operation. They prepared some amount of Ukrainian marines, I assume because that's what the only new thing the Brits could teach to Ukrainians about modern warfare.
They really measured up the situation wrong, they told the Ukrainians the resistance will be minimal in that direction.
I see a pattern here. Westerners wanted them to attack NATO style the "Surovikin" line too. Which was a huge failure as well and resulted in the armor cemeteries at the Orikhiv-Robotine direction. Then the Ukrainians resorted to their own tactics, which worked but was too slow and demanding.
NATO countries are either commanded by retards, or they just wanted to try out their cockamamie ideas about strategy and tactics without risking their own troops basically exploiting Ukraine, who cares if a bunch of Slavs die right?.
The contrast between how Ukraine and the Brits assessed the situation with the Kakhovka dam is fun. Ukrainian:
> Two marine officers who spoke with Ukrainska Pravda believe the landing on the left bank was originally planned for summer 2023, right after the newly formed brigades completed their training. However, the operation had to be postponed after the Russians destroyed the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) in early June, which caused extensive flooding and erosion of the islands and riverbanks.
Brit:
> Ukraine’s allies questioned why the marines weren’t seizing the opportunity, asking: "Where are your marines? Why aren’t they capitalising on the fact that the Russians’ first line of defence on the left bank has been washed away and launching an offensive?"
So Ukrainians saw it made their life difficult, they really thought the Russians blew the dam up to make that so.
The Brits however thought it's the excellent opportunity to attack since it was detrimental to the Russian side.
Conclusion: not the Russians, but the Brits blew up the Kakhovka dam.
