You claimed Russia could have no benefit. Even your cited article lists it as a potential benefit to Russia to blow up the dam; you on the other hand completely denied there could be any even theoretical benefits. That article is more honest than you. And, the most important thing is --real--- ---results---. The ---real--- ---result---- is that Russia feels safe withdrawing troops from Kherson to fight in Zaporizhzhya and Ukraine isn't trying to counter-offense across the river - both are clear benefits to Russia. And Russia perceives itself to benefit from threats to the ZNPP. The article you cite has a lot of blah bah - The apparently reality is that it has benefitted Russia.
