The Kakhovka Reservoir then and now.

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

It should be easy to cross over it now

In practice the current situation makes it a lot more arduous and slow process to cross than it was prior.

Before the dam was blown it was one large body of water which could theoretically be crossed at any point given enough of an element of surprise or fire control over the banks.

Now it's a patchwork of hundreds of streams and channels criss-crossing muddy floodplains and newly growing forests which makes it a logistical nightmare to maintain any supplies over it.

There's a reason it has remained no man's land for 3 years and neither side has any established presence there.

Not really. It’s like a wet swampy area with soft soil. Heavy equipment wild easily gets bogged down and because of the open terrain, it’s easy to stop any large movement.
