Ukraine War: Uncovered4 Jul 2023

Episode №7

In this episode, we delve into the catastrophic event that unfolded at the Kakhovka dam, focusing on the far-reaching consequences of this heinous act of terrorism. We examine the response, or lack thereof, from the russian side and the devastating effects it had on both the local population and the wildlife in the region.

Just a few weeks ago, in our third episode, we highlighted the extensive environmental damage caused by russia's full-scale invasion, affecting Ukraine's soil, rivers, the Black Sea, and the local wildlife. The reported cases of environmental damage had already surpassed 2,300, with an estimated cost of $51.45 billion. However, in the early hours of June 6, 2023, news broke that Russian forces had deliberately destroyed the Nova Kakhovka hydroelectric dam on the Dnipro River in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine.

This catastrophic act put approximately 16,000 local citizens at risk of flooding in the right bank area of the Dnipro River, which encompasses 80 villages within the Ukraine-controlled Kherson area. To address the imminent danger, the local government swiftly cut off electricity and launched extensive rescue missions throughout the affected region.

We shed light on the challenges faced by the affected communities and the long-term environmental impact caused by russia's actions. Additionally, we provide you with an update from the frontlines, highlighting the significant events that unfolded in Ukraine between June 10 and 26.

Tune in to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Kakhovka dam catastrophe, its consequences, and the ongoing developments in Ukraine.

Together, let's seek the truth, foster understanding, and strive for a better future.
