Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the breach of the Nova Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine has left hundreds of thousands of people without drinking water.
At least 100 people in the Russian-controlled town of Nova Kakhovka are trapped, and thousands of wild animals have been killed after the Kakhovka dam collapsed, Russian news agencies reported.
Every second, more than 30,000 cubic metres (30 million litres or 8 million gallons) of water pours out of the reservoir the dam held back, and the town is at risk of contamination, the TASS news agency quoted the Russian-installed mayor, Vladimir Leontyev, as saying.
He said rescue efforts were under way to free people trapped by the floods.

Like what would happen , over control
Russia were in control of the dam, they must have watched the Ukrainian army plant the explosives inside the dam ! Yeah I bet and putin calls it a barbaric act ' yeah done by a Russian control freak CALLED PUTIN. one very sad individual.
it was obviously a self demolishing dam! do they hold us in such basic contempt that Russia expects us to believe they didnt do it
or far more !likely just dont care any more and want to inflict the maximum possible destruction because this will last many years
God have mercy on inocent civlians
Right tym for Al ZaZero to distribute Millions of dollars Received from CHINA through Pakistan Brokers for Hiding True Facts about INHUMAN SUPPRESSION of UYGHURS!!😮😮😮

I think ukraine destroyed it just to blame russia
This is disaster
War is dirty
useless report…
Ukrainian president American dominated by UK stupid Ukraine people vote for wrong President Ukraine Big mistake Ukraine stupid zelaskey death of soon No war 111
This flooding is man-made climate change. Keep up rescue efforts.
The dum disaster is more beneficial to Ukraine: they destroyed the Russian defenses ( Russia doesn’t built defenses to destroy them), it makes the river shallow up stream making the defenses of Russia led effective, make the world afraid over the nuclear plant and it is a disaster for the Crimea. So Russia is not going to shoot herself to the foot.
On the other hand Ukraine has to benefit a lot by pushing the public opinion of the west to keep supplying Ukraine with arms. And the build now this narrative in the west for the purposes of propaganda. Last there is going to be no investigation because the west doesn’t want to know. The only thing they want is to blame it on Russia as they did with thé noord stream 2 who’s no leaked information says that Ukraine did that.😢😢
world has to STOP moskals
For fools who say that Ukraine did it.
It was beneficial for Ukraine that the Russian army would leave reserves in this place in case the river was forced. People, equipment, artillery, ammunition and resources. Much of this is now free for reinforcements on the front in the east, because downstream everything will turn into an impenetrable swamp for several months.
Russia🇷🇺 still occupied oblast Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Crimea.
Russia must end occupation & Keep Peace..
GOD bless Russia,Glory to Russia in jesus mighty name Amen,the cause and foundations of the war is Italy and France Paris and,America,Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome

Zelensky get some guts get your soldiers in to Russia
The west wont do anything . Putin proved this over syria. He played the west and won. The west is spineless , he knows this as the war has been dragging on foe 8 plus years.
The British bombed dresden and killed far more. Nothing happened to them
Now it's Fair Game on All Russian Infrstructures. Dams, Terminals, Oil, etc.
Horse… FIN
Who has the most to gain from this?
😢
Do the west know what they we doing especially US by supplying weapons to Ukraine and prolonging the war? The Ukrainians are the ones suffering , fighting the West proxy war. The West should initiate dialogues and peace talk between those parties at war.
