Ukraine accuses Russia of destroying the country’s largest dam and evacuates 16,000 people due to flooding
New problem in Ukraine. If a war were not enough, it now faces flooding caused by the destruction of a dam, the largest in the country, 60 kilometers from the city of Kherson last night. Specifically, it is about the infrastructure that is part of the Kajovka hydroelectric power station, on the Dnieper River. Kiev and Moscow blame each other for its collapse, while 16,000 people residing in the immediate vicinity are ordered to evacuate due to flooding that has already begun and could even reach the capital of the region.
