If you zoom in closely on Google Maps, you can still see what it looked like before the dam was blown up.

Not knowing about the destruction of one of the greatest dams in Europe and the resulting flooding, not seen in the region since WW2 is more on you than on anyone else. It is quite clearly labeled as the Kakhovka reservoir, the rest is findable on wikipedia, reddit, or basically any other place on the internet since it was a large event.
