Russia blows up the Kakhovka dam and creates a huge environmental disaster

from Explaining Ukraine · host UkraineWorld

On June 6th Russia blew up the dam of the Kakhovka hydropower plant in Southern Ukraine. This act of geopolitical terrorism and ecocide produces a major environmental disaster for decades to come. It also puts the Zaporizzhia nuclear power plant (the biggest NPP in Europe) at a significant risk. We have recorded a Twitter space to discuss this tragedy, based on our conversations with the Ukrainian experts and journalists. Volodymyr Yermolenko, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, is joined by Maksym Panchenko, journalist and analyst at UkraineWorld.
