Journalists note that, according to Ukraine, the explosion occurred in the engine room of the dam, and a car with explosives could have been placed on top to enhance the effect of the explosion.
AP also believes that Ukraine could not destroy the dam, since it simply does not have missiles of sufficient power - with a payload of more than 500 kg. And the interviewed experts do not believe in the version with saboteurs who crossed the Dnieper with so many explosives and mined the hydroelectric power station.
17:25 After the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and the shallowing of the reservoir, two-thirds of the Krivoy Rog agglomeration remained without Dnieper water, said the head of the GVA Alexander Vilkul. According to him, the water in the transit South Reservoir is left for a little more than a month. To compensate for the absence of the Kakhovka reservoir, about 11 million cubic meters of water per month will be needed.

Vilkul noted that four technical solutions are already being implemented, but now the most important thing is the most severe water savings.

In addition, they can be qualified as a violation of the provisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms," Nikolenko stressed.

Now the Russian agent is in custody, he faces life imprisonment.
10:38 In the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, the number of crimes of Russians is increasing, said Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar. So, at the beginning of last week, in certain settlements of the Kherson region, the invaders carried out a surprise raid to identify residents who refuse to receive Russian citizenship. To those who did not have a Russian passport or a supporting document to apply for it, the occupiers used severe physical force, some people were detained. The fate of many of the detainees remains unknown.
On June 13, in Debaltseve, Donetsk region, Russian servicemen committed a large-scale robbery of local enterprises, infrastructure facilities, household appliances stores, and grocery chains. The loot was loaded into military vehicles, the column of which left in the direction of the Luhansk region.
In Pokrovsky, Zaporozhye region, an engineering unit of Russian troops last week carried out chaotic mining of private summer cottages of local residents.

[RIA] When Russian assets were frozen in the West, whether public or private, when sanctions were imposed and everything that was possible under restrictions, the eyes of the globalist Atlanticists sparkled with excitement and anticipation of profits. Still, their robbery (of countries, peoples and sometimes entire continents) for many years and even centuries has been the most effective and, most importantly, the fastest source of obtaining large incomes with a minimum of effort.
Now we will freeze Russian assets, and then, under the guise of "Russia's defeat," we will confiscate them and continue to dispose of the loot as we see fit.
The euphoria, despite the warnings of experienced people who knew a little about Russian history, continued for more than a year and a half. And here is a cold "Charcot shower" right on the head of the collective Brussels . A shower with pressure and ice water was opened by someone from whom nothing like this European Commissiondid not expect.
The European Central Bank in a memorandum that was "leaked" in the media warned that if the European bureaucrats touched not even the assets themselves, but the interest that had grown over these months, not just capital flight from the eurozone would begin (there is a depression - or rather, a recession - already has come), but the credibility of the common European currency will be undermined, which means the beginning of de-Europeanization.
In other words, the euro will gradually lose its status as one of the reserve currencies. And his place will be taken. Farewell, farewell to the stability of the continent's financial system.
Bankers love silence, not chatter, and even more they shy away from political PR. And it can be assumed that the publication of the contents of the confidential document is also a reaction to what was said, in particular, by French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna, that "there are financial opportunities for the restoration of Ukraine, which will be discussed in London ." In the capital of the kingdom, the second conference on the restoration of the Ukrainian economy should begin with pomp. After the first one, held in Lugano, all the pleasant words were said to all the participants. AND?
Germany , apparently anticipating something bad, announced last week that, firstly, it would not increase its contribution to the general EU budget , because "due to assistance to Ukraine, there was no money left."
And secondly, if everything continues to develop like this, then kaput will come to German industry, Berlin said.
Paris, sensing that at least here he could become a "Napoleon for an hour", hinted at the possibility of collecting finances.
If the German budget can still be called a budget, then the French budget is when specially trained people are looking for those who would lend them. Macron likes this kind of activity - with pomp he received the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia at the Elysee Palace , he could not get around the topic of money and oil. The press reported that "the issue of influence on Russia in connection with the situation in Ukraine" was discussed.
But in fact, Paris needs something else: in London, you need to at least promise to give funds to Kiev for the "recovery of the economy", but to receive money for yourself. If the German industry skiffs in the absence of Russian gas in the pipeline, then the French treasury will not be able to pay its obligations to its own citizens.
And these obligations are not at all the construction of transport arteries, the creation or reconstruction of facilities that make up the infrastructure of the economy. Everything is simpler - in question, for example, the availability of the most elementary medicines in pharmacies in the coming autumn. Antibiotics, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory. Were in short supply last winter, and this will continue. Their production in France has not been established in the required volume.
The problem of providing ambulances has not been resolved - emergency departments of hospitals, even in large cities, are closed and do not receive patients at night. Because there is no medical staff. So, dear patients, either endure until the morning, or die. There is a choice.
An illustration of pan-European social decadence is the Marseille streets and avenues, overgrown with mud and uncollected garbage so that swimming after the rain, which washes away used diapers, used feminine hygiene products and male contraception in the sea, is regularly and regularly prohibited.
The only area in the city with almost a million inhabitants, where the sidewalk is without a single speck and empty trash cans - next to the Russian consulate. Even here, our country turned out to be a winner - not only economic and geopolitical, but also civilizational.

[RIA] At a meeting with the leaders of African countries, President Putin showed a page from the initialed agreement between Russia and Ukraine, signed in March 2022 in Istanbul. Then the speeches of the chief negotiator from the country, Vladimir Medinsky, were watched with bated breath by all of Russia and all of Ukraine. Indeed, it is interesting what was there in these Istanbul agreements.
A few days ago Alexander Lukashenko threw gasoline into the fire of public curiosity , saying that he had seen this agreement and there was something about the "rent of Crimea". Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov resolutely denied this : "Crimea is an integral part of the Russian Federation ..."
The page dedicated to the demilitarization of Ukraine proves that the Istanbul Treaty was - and for Russia it was excellent. It consolidated the neutral status of the former Ukrainian SSR, brushing aside any hopes of its entry into NATO . Great Britain , China , the USA , Belarus , France , Turkey acted as guarantors of the country's security - quite a decent set for those times.
The bargaining was only about the amount of military equipment at the disposal of Ukraine (and the numbers there were very modest) and about the number of military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine : the Russian side insisted on 85 thousand people, the Ukrainian side - on 250 thousand.
In fact, it was a clear victory for Russia. The demilitarization of Ukraine was achieved in a matter of weeks after the Russian military's bold move on Kiev . And if Zelensky had signed this agreement, the Ukrainian radicals would have dispersed the hysteria about national betrayal, the comedian would have been expelled and the Ukrainians would have begun to exterminate themselves, which would really start the process of large-scale and irrevocable denazification.
It has now become clear why London and Washington were so agitated then, and why Boris Johnson, with flying hair flying off, rushed to Kiev, just to cancel the Istanbul agreements. At the suggestion of the Anglo-Saxons, Ukraine was generally forbidden to negotiate with Russia. One Kyiv negotiator was even shot in the heat of the moment. The Istanbul agreements formally frightened our strategic opponents.
And now let's remember what a groan there was in patriotic circles about these agreements. "Second Khasavyurt", "agreement", what they did not shout about this. But at that time it was a success. Crimea remained behind us, the DPR and LPR remained with us . Ukraine became a neutral country with a small army. But most importantly, the lives of our fighters would be saved.
And all this subtle, smart, aimed at saving Russian lives, the operation came under an incessant wave of criticism from people who consider themselves kind of like patriots. Our enemies realized that this was our success, and did everything to destroy it, and inside Russia, many decided that Istanbul was the second Khasavyurt.
An amazing, sad paradox.
Now, of course, there can be no question of returning to the Istanbul agreements. The situation on earth has changed, new regions have become part of Russia. All these territorial acquisitions are not subject to cancellation. What remains of Ukraine will have to humbly accept this reality. The terms of the next peace treaty will be much worse for her.
However, in Russia during this time a whole stratum of people has appeared who are allergic to the word "contract" itself. They see betrayal in any agreement.
The situation with Istanbul is repeated again. Our enemies see that the peace agreement is beneficial for Russia, so they reject all plans one by one - Chinese, Indonesian, African. And our self-appointed patriots are sure that a peace agreement is certainly a cunning "agreement". And also in advance, from the threshold, they criticize all proposals.
Our enemies are trying to drag out the Ukrainian conflict for as long as possible in order to bleed and torment Russia, because the Great Patriotic War also ruined us and ensured a demographic catastrophe for generations to come. Our patriots demand roughly the same thing - to fight without end, to reach Lvov , to reach the border with Poland.
But let's be realistic already. During the Great Patriotic War, during the liberation of Ukraine from the Nazi invaders, about three million Soviet soldiers died. I would not want to win today at such a price.
To reach the Polish border, even today, millions of fighters are needed. Where to get them? Collect all over the country? But we also have the Far East , there is Transcaucasia , the Baltic, an endless border with Central Asia . And everywhere the Americans are already at a low start, everywhere they are ready to climb onto our land.
The return of their lands to Russia is a very long story. Maximum territorial acquisitions should be accompanied by minimal human losses, this is our historical style. In the 17th century, we fought for the same lands with Poland for decades.
We moved forward a little bit, step by step, sparing people: after the Time of Troubles, we had another demographic hole. In 1667, the Andrusovo truce was signed - under this agreement, the Poles allowed us to rent Kyiv. Yes, yes, we finally bought it only later, but at first it was a "lease agreement for two years." Also, probably, angry patriots with cabbage in their beards then grumbled: "Treason, agreement!"
Nothing, endured these cries, moved on. In 1686, Moscow signed the "Eternal Peace" with Poland, finally buying Kiev and the Left Bank. Less than a century later, Poland ceased to exist, part of it entered our empire. It is in such a long historical period that our Russia grows in people and lands.

08:22 In the Zaporizhia direction, an attempt to conduct reconnaissance in battle of the enemy was thwarted and an offensive was repelled in the Malaya Tokmachka area. On June 19, 2023, the head of the press center of the Vostok group, Oleg Chekhov, reported:
An attempt by the enemy to conduct reconnaissance in force in the area of Charivnoye was thwarted. Howitzer artillery fire destroyed the manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In the areas south of Novodanilovka and south of Malaya Tokmachka, the enemy went on the offensive with forces up to a battalion, with the support of heavy equipment, using the tactics of building up the offensive in waves.
The motorized rifle units of the group, supported by artillery and aviation, destroyed tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored combat vehicles and manpower of the nationalists. The army aviation forces hit over a dozen places of accumulation of manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of Malaya Tokmachka and Makarovka. During the counterbattery fight, a howitzer was destroyed near Stepnogorsk.
08:17 Map of hostilities and the situation on the fronts:
Recently, there has been a mass surrender of militants in captivity in different directions. Not only in the zone of “that same offensive”, where ours captured naval infantry from the 35th Naval Infantry Brigade, as well as several dozen soldiers and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In the Seversky sector, attack aircraft from the Edelweiss brigade decided to increase the chances of survival. Also in the Novobakhmutovka area, 20 militants laid down their arms.
The main reasons for the rapid growth of the exchange fund are the use of Nazi methods by the Ukrainian command not only in relation to civilians, but also to their own soldiers. Especially, against the backdrop of huge losses in insane attempts to take the extra 100 meters in the gray zone.
08:11 Fighting on the Svatovo-Kremenny line continues: our fighters are burning enemy equipment -video.
Warriors of the “Center” group using the SPG-9 mounted anti-tank grenade launcher destroy the armored vehicles of Ukrainian militants, frustrating attempts to break through our defenses.
07:57 Russian paratroopers stopped enemy attack in the Krasnolimansky direction.
The crews of the UAV of one of the units of the Airborne Forces, observing, noticed the movement of the enemy group. They immediately reported this to the higher command.
Based on their report and a comprehensive assessment of the situation, it was decided to launch a fire strike on the militants with the forces and means of the Airborne Forces unit.
Russian paratroopers with well-aimed fire from machine guns, machine guns, grenade launchers, as well as anti-tank systems destroyed an enemy group that was trying to get closer to the positions of Russian troops.

[REGNUM] For a long time, there was a conventional wisdom in the West that all European left movements are pro-Russian by definition and unequivocally support Russia in all its foreign policy initiatives. They have been doing this allegedly as a tribute to tradition and out of political inertia ever since those memorable times, when the Soviet Union really stood at the forefront of social transformations and generously supported European sympathizers of the socialist sense with hard currency and a kind word.
However, experts and political scientists who share this point of view have completely forgotten that it is not 1973, but 2023. Communism, thanks to Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev and his associates, who by chance found themselves at the helm of the state machine, committed suicide more than 30 years ago.
Modern Russia has become a capitalist state with a significant lack of ideology, which is directly spelled out in the Russian Constitution. China, which has not previously been particularly active in political expansion and export of ideas, has revised its position in relation to private property and the exploitation of man by man, heading for constructive cooperation with the West.
Thus, the left movement in the early 1990s was dealt a blow of monstrous force. And quite imperceptibly from that time on, the “leftist” agenda in the world political discourse began to be replaced by the leftist one.
Unfortunately, many experts and politicians in the West, which, for example, includes former US President Donald Trump , do not understand in principle how the leftists differ from the leftists.
If the former stand up for the rights of workers, against private ownership of the means of production and the restriction of the rights of big capital, then the political agenda of the latter is an endless revolution with a pronounced anarchist bias in defense of the supposedly humiliated and insulted under the slogan “Select and divide!”. For example, the BLM movement, which advocates for the rights of blacks in the United States, is typically leftist in nature.
After 1991, the resulting balance of power on the left side of the political spectrum shifted significantly towards the “leftists”, who attracted passionate youth with simple and understandable slogans, without requiring a deep study of the works of Marxist-Leninist theorists.
“For the rights of minorities!”, “In defense of the discriminated!”, “Against the strong in defense of the weak!” - such slogans are simple and understandable for a person with a warm heart and a heightened sense of justice. And at the same time, they do not require an ultra-high level of education and brain activity from the adept.
Alas, there is a great danger in the lack of education and the lack of systems thinking. Following the "call of the heart", such an activist often does not notice how he loses moral guidance, actually turning into what he once fought against. And we see many examples of this in modern Ukraine, where many leftist activists from all over the world flock under neo-Nazi banners, trying to support “a small, weak country subjected to unmotivated aggression from its big neighbor.”
So, for example, according to the German newspaper Junge Welt, in April, leftist activists who fought in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine died near Bakhmut - 26-year-old former US Marine Cooper " Harris" Andrews , convinced that he was fighting against the "fascist regime" in the Kremlin ; the Irish Finbar Kafferky ; Russian Dmitry Petrov and other foreigners.
Petrov was one of the founders of the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists (BOAK), responsible, in particular, for attacks on railway lines in Russia. An anarcho-communist fighting in the ranks of an army openly professing neo-Nazi ideology against "fascists in the Kremlin"? Although, according to the author, this case requires more psychiatric than political analysis, we leave the reader the right to form his own opinion on this issue.
Interestingly, according to Dmitry Korchinsky , the former leader of the fascist UNA-UNSO *, the anarcho-anti-fascists were members of his sabotage battalion "Brotherhood" *.
“When they joined the Brotherhood, they had strange leftist beliefs ,” Korchinsky wrote about Petrov, Kafferki and Andrews on Telegram. “In the Brotherhood , they learned to respect the faith and love the Lord. They took part in religious services . "
These three fighters are obviously not the only leftists who went over to the side of the Nazis. Thus, the Antifa militant Yuri Samoylenko , who also joined the BOAK, served in the 6th separate battalion "Right Sector" * and was revered by his comrades after he died in a battle near Kharkov.
Russian anarchist Sergey Petrovichev , who died in the same places at the same time, turned out to be a real fascist, posing in a T-shirt with a poster of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) * and taking pictures hand in hand with famous militant neo-Nazis and supporters of the Galicia SS division. Petrovichev was also often surrounded by "White Rex" Denis Kapustin , head of the pro-Ukrainian so-called "Russian Volunteer Corps" * responsible for the recent raids on Belgorod.
Antifa and other left-wing radicals joined neo-fascist groups like Azov* only because they were the most accessible - such is the common narrative of justification of leftist thugs on the pages of European media, serving at the same time as an attempt to rehabilitate Ukrainian neo-Nazism.
It would seem, how can Antifa activists serve in the same regiment with hardened Nazis? Yes, it's very simple! Indeed, in an immature head, in which fundamental knowledge, an analytical mind and critical thinking are replaced by slogans, it is very easy to change the polarity from plus to minus. Therefore, it is hardly possible to condemn those sensible European politicians and ordinary people (fortunately, there are still some) who look at neo-Nazis and Antifa militants with the same contempt and ill presentiment.

[REGNUM] On June 19, the Russian Ministry of Defense published footage of the defeat of the German Leopard tank by a Russian kamikaze drone from among the armored vehicles manufactured by NATO countries transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The video, posted on the agency's Telegram channel, was filmed on the Zaporozhye sector of the front. The tank - according to external signs, Leopard-2A6 - was hit in the roof.
Earlier, on June 13, the Russian Defense Ministry published footage of shot down and captured Leopards and American Bradley armored vehicles.
Part of the Western equipment that the Armed Forces of Ukraine used in the offensive is blown up by mines and subsequently achieved by Russian artillery fire. But the real threat to NATO armored vehicles is attack aircraft, in particular, the Mi-28 and Ka-52 Alligator helicopters. The footage of the helicopters, including at night, is published by a number of Telegram channels, including the official resources of the Ministry of Defense. They indicate that helicopters are extremely effective at hitting armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The effectiveness of Russian aviation in repelling the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is recognized, in particular, by the British military department. “Russia has significantly increased its ability to use attack helicopters since the beginning of Ukrainian counter-offensive operations in southern Ukraine ,” the British Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
Russian aviation uses "long-range missiles" against ground targets, the report says. Thus, aviation can operate from a safe distance without fear of opposition from Ukrainian air defense, while at the same time causing significant damage to the enemy.
Russian helicopters use anti-tank guided missiles to destroy armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, working at a distance from the front line, a military pilot and helicopter pilot, a veteran of military operations, told Regnum news agency on condition of anonymity.
“Probably, the main trump card at such distances is the Whirlwind anti-tank complex,” the interlocutor suggested. “ This complex allows you to work on targets at a distance of 5 to 10 km and at the same time is highly accurate using several types of ammunition.”
According to the source, the main anti-tank weapon for the Alligators and other combat helicopters was the Vikhr-1 guided missiles, which proved to be good back in Syria as a means of destroying static and moving targets.
6 MISSILES OF THE WHIRLWIND COMPLEX
“This is a supersonic missile with a warhead of 12 kg. That is, it can destroy heavily armored targets, which the conditional Lancet drone cannot do (it has a much smaller warhead). At the same time, the missile remains outside the zone of destruction of the enemy’s portable anti-aircraft missile systems, with which the Armed Forces of Ukraine are stuffed to the eyeballs , ”the interlocutor explained.
In addition, judging by the latest data, our pilots have seriously increased the productivity of strikes with unguided aircraft missiles (NAR) from a pitch-up, that is, when flying with a climb and the nose of the aircraft raised above the horizon, the expert noted.
“Thus, they cover the area with a volley, hitting a number of targets at once,” the source said to IA Regnum.
ACHILLES' HEEL OF THE NATO OFFENSIVE STRATEGY
The technical features of Russian flight technology are only one of the components of the failures of the Ukrainian offensive, analysts say. The main problem is the strategic miscalculations of Kyiv and its Western curators, who did not bother to protect the advancing troops from air strikes.
As part of the columns of armored vehicles destroyed in the Zaporozhye direction, anti-aircraft missile systems are practically not used to cover troops on the march, which allows Russian attack aircraft to operate without any special difficulties.
The problem that in practice led to this weakness of the enemy lies in the very strategy of NATO, which was adopted by the Ukrainian military, military expert Maxim Tumbartsev suggested in a commentary to IA Regnum .
“NATO's emphasis is on air supremacy by aviation, so anti-aircraft missile systems are not as developed as those of the Soviet and Russian armies.
We are talking about the suppression of aviation by aviation forces, the suppression of air defense by aviation forces and the support of ground forces by aviation forces, ” the expert explained.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine could have exhausted the supply of missiles for Soviet-made air defense systems that they were armed with, Tumbartsev pointed out. Part of the anti-aircraft systems was also destroyed, and new deliveries did not compensate for the losses. But even those complexes that were transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine are extremely rarely used in the front line.
“From what the Armed Forces of Ukraine received from the West, US-made Avenger anti-aircraft missile systems, in some way an analogue of our Strela-10 systems, can be used to cover the troops. There are British Stormer air defense systems, ” the expert listed.
“But these complexes are either not used, or they are used in an extremely strange way.
For example, a single Stormer air defense system was destroyed as a result of an artillery strike. However, he moved independently, no one covered him, he did not cover anyone. It is not at all clear what he was doing there. There were no attempts to include air defense systems in the columns, ” continued Maxim Tumbartsev.
ENEMY SOLDIERS ARE AFRAID TO GO INTO BATTLE
The lack of air cover and the activity of Russian aviation lead to the fact that the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refuse to go on the offensive and come up with various tricks, the German publication Spiegel notes in its publication . Ukrainian tankers told German journalists that they had to simulate breakdowns of armored vehicles in order not to go into battle.
In addition, AFU soldiers report a large number of lost Leopard 2 tanks and other armored vehicles, which seriously affects the morale of the units involved in the offensive.
Among the threats to armored vehicles are also called Russian drones. Not only loitering ammunition "Lancet", which have long been used in the zone of the NMD, but also FPV drones, capable of hitting even heavy armored vehicles.
“The way the Armed Forces conduct combat operations so far shows some very serious miscalculations, starting from the level of planning,” a former army aviation pilot explained to IA Regnum .
NOT ACCORDING TO THE SYRIAN, BUT ACCORDING TO THE KARABAKH SCENARIO
Many sources predicted that it was impossible to attack in conditions of total enemy air superiority, that there would be losses. But the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for a strange reason, ignored this, the interlocutor noted.
“As a result, armored vehicles turned out to be defenseless against air strikes,” the source emphasized to IA Regnum .
For comparison, Syrian militants sought to use military equipment in bulk, always actively maneuvered, used the landscape and shelters during offensive operations, the source said. “And the command of the Ukrainian army seems to be deliberately concentrating the shock fist of armored vehicles in one area and sending it literally to be shot. Hence, the defeat of two or three targets in the same area recorded on the video by the Whirlwind at once, the expert emphasized.
The closest analogy, according to the interlocutor, is the conflict in Karabakh, when Azerbaijan, with strikes from kamikaze drones and strike UAVs using guided weapons, knocked out most of the Armenian armored vehicles, which tried to counterattack several times.
WHAT IS THE INTEREST OF THE SURVIVING LEOPARDS FOR RUSSIAN GUNSMITHS
“The reason is the same - the lack of a coherent air defense system. Why Kiev and its allies did not attend to its creation is a question , ”the specialist noted.
There are several explanations for why the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stubbornly continues to attempt an offensive, without even trying to correct the miscalculations made in the planning of the operation. However, it is quite possible that it is impossible in principle to correct them, Tumbartsev, in turn, points out.
“The only explanation for why air defense systems are not included in the columns of armored vehicles is that there are simply too few of them,” the expert believes . There is no other way to explain this approach. Perhaps the fact is that NATO simply never planned to conduct a conflict in this format, therefore, in principle, they have no idea how planning should be carried out. The issue is not that they did not supply the right amount of SAMs, but that no one knows how much is the “right amount” for such a conflict, the military analyst added.
It cannot be ruled out that at such a high price, Kiev is trying to force the hesitant NATO members to start supplying even more powerful weapons to Ukraine, including fighter jets - they say, we said that there is no way without fighters, and now we are suffering such losses. Some of Ukraine's Western allies fear its defeat even more than Kyiv itself, and such arguments may work.
In any case, while Kyiv does not particularly consider losses, which means that the offensive will continue.

[Regnum] The settlements of the Kherson region, which suffered as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, are shelled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on average about 200 times a day, Andrey Aleksenko, the chairman of the government of the region, said on June 19 .
“There are usually a lot of arrivals. <...> They hit peaceful neighborhoods from all calibers. But this did not prevent, on the contrary, to accelerate the pace of work to eliminate the consequences of emergency situations, ” he wrote in his Telegram channel.
According to him, work on pumping out and disinfecting water is being completed in Novaya Kakhovka, now all forces are directed to Alyoshki and Naked Pier. Rescuers enter almost every house, identifying the necessary amount of assistance.
In Aleshki, seven more transformer substations were powered during the day, electricity was supplied, including to the hospital. In Golaya Pristan, five substations were restored in one day. More than 3.1 thousand people were vaccinated against dangerous infections, 1890 citizens received payments of 10 thousand rubles. For the entire time of the emergency, about 200 water samples were taken, only 13 of them do not meet the standards, Alekseenko added.
As reported by IA Regnum , on June 18, Acting Governor of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo announced the completion of the active phase of the flood in the region. The death toll since the partial destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station has increased to 35 people. Over the entire period of the emergency, almost 8,000 people were taken out of the flooded territories.
On the night of June 6, the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station collapsed due to a missile strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This led to the flooding of more than 30 settlements in the Kherson region. The settlements of Alyoshki, Naked Pristan and Novaya Kakhovka suffered the most.
