The explosion of the Kachovka dam in southern Ukraine is another devastating consequence of the Russian invasion of a neighboring country, according to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. He said it on Tuesday in New York. At the same time, A. Guterres added that the United Nations does not have any independent data on how the dam collapsed.
At least 16,000 people displaced by the floods are receiving humanitarian aid, including clean water and water purification tablets, António Guterres said. Today’s tragedy, he said, is another example of the terrible war for people. Attacks on civilian infrastructure must stop.
Ukraine accuses Russia of blowing up the dam, which caused major flooding. Moscow says it’s the work of Ukrainian forces.
