The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns it! The Secretary General of the United Nations has issued a statement, stating the time of the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station
On the 6th local time, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement strongly condemning the damage caused by the Ukrainian armed forces to the Kakhovka hydropower station.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the destruction by the Ukrainian military has led to a large-scale humanitarian and environmental disaster. The destruction of a reservoir dam has caused a significant increase in water levels downstream of the Dnieper River, flooding villages and towns, and requiring thousands of residents to evacuate. Agriculture and the ecosystem at the mouth of the Dnieper River in the area have suffered huge losses due to the Kiev regime's destructive actions. The decrease in water level in the Kakhovka Reservoir will also have an impact on the water supply in Crimea, and the protection of agricultural land in the Kherson region will be disrupted.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that the incident was a terrorist act targeting purely civilian infrastructure. It was pre planned by the Kiev regime for military purposes and is part of the so-called "counterattack" of the Ukrainian armed forces. The Kiev regime not only carried out large-scale shelling on the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, but also intentionally brought the water level of the Kakhovka reservoir to a critical level by opening the water gates of the Dnipropetrovsk hydroelectric power station.
The Russian Federation Investigation Commission has filed a criminal case against terrorist acts that cause significant property damage and other serious consequences.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Russian side is initiating a review of the crime of foreign power by the United Nations Security Council, the Organization for Security in Europe, and other international organizations.
On the 6th local time, the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam located in the Kherson region was damaged, and some areas are currently suffering from floods. Both Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of carrying out acts of damaging dams.
Guterres: The destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam is a "triple disaster of humanity, economy, and ecology"
On June 6th local time, UN Secretary General Guterres issued a statement regarding the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam located in the Kherson region. Guterres stated that this incident is a triple disaster of humanity, economy, and ecology.
Guterres said that there is no independent source of information from the United Nations to verify the cause of the dam's damage, but the dam's damage has led to flooding and humanitarian evacuation, environmental damage, and the destruction of grain fields, particularly threatening the safety of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The United Nations and the Ukrainian government are working hard to provide important humanitarian assistance.
He reiterated his appeal that attacks on civilians and civilian facilities must stop and that all parties should stop the Russia-Ukraine conflict in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, international law and relevant resolutions.
