President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called the situation in the occupied part of Kherson absolutely catastrophic during his today's address.

“The occupiers simply abandoned people in these terrible conditions. Without rescue, without water, right on the roofs of houses in flooded communities,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy says. “And this is another deliberate crime of Russia: after the terrorist state has created a catastrophe, it also maximizes the damage from it”.

The President emphasized that a clear and quick reaction of the world to what is happening is now needed.. It is necessary that international organizations, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, immediately join the rescue operation and help people in the occupied part of the Kherson region.

“Each person who died there is a sentence to the existing international architecture, to international organizations that have forgotten how to save lives. If now there is no international organization in the zone of this catastrophe, then it does not exist at all, it means that it is incapacitated,” President Zelensky said..
