The catastrophe created by Russian terrorists at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station will not stop Ukraine and Ukrainians. This was stated in an evening video message by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

" And each Russian terrorist attack only increases the amount of reparations that Russia will pay for the crimes committed, and not the chances of the invaders to stay on our land,"

He noted that the state at all levels is doing everything to save people and provide drinking water to those who received it from the Kakhovka reservoir..

According to him, the Attorney General has already applied to the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to bring international justice to the investigation of the dam explosion..

" Such a deliberate destruction of the dam and other structures of the hydroelectric power station by the Russian invaders is an ecological bomb of mass destruction.. For its own safety, the world should now show that Russia will not get away with such terror.. And I am grateful to all leaders and states, all peoples and international organizations that supported Ukraine and are ready to help our people, our de-occupation steps"

The President noted that Russia deliberately destroyed the Kakhovka reservoir, which is critical, in particular, for providing Crimea with water, indicates that the Russian occupiers have already realized that they will have to flee from Crimea.

As a result of undermining the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station by Russian troops on the night of June 6, a significant part of the coastal territories downstream of the Dnieper was flooded, including the cities of Kherson, Novaya Kakhovka and others. Currently, 1300 people have already been evacuated, all of them will be provided with financial assistance.. The authorities expect to assess the damage and see the real picture in a week, when the water recedes..
