Volodymyr Zelensky: The evacuation of people from flooded areas following the destruction of the Kahovka dam continues under Russian artillery fire
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, says that the evacuation of people from flooded areas following the destruction of the Kahovka dam continues, even under the fire of Russian artillery, Hotnews.ro informs.
The situation in the occupied part of the Kherson region is truly catastrophic. The occupiers simply abandoned the people in these terrible conditions. No rescue, no water, on the roofs in the flooded settlements," says Volodymyr Zelenski, according to News.ro. Zelenski calls for the involvement of international organizations, such as the Red Cross, to save the people in the Russian-occupied area of the Kherson region.
"Today, maximum attention is paid to the consequences of the Russian act of terrorism at the Kahovka hydroelectric plant. Dozens of settlements on the territory under our control were flooded. Thousands of houses! Evacuation continues. Into the fire! The Russian artillery keeps firing no matter what. Barbarians!", said Volodymyr Zelensky in the message sent on Wednesday evening.
He stated that, so far, more than 2,000 people have been rescued in Kherson and Mykolaiv regions.
"The situation in the occupied part of the Kherson region is truly catastrophic. The occupiers simply abandoned the people in these terrible conditions. No rescue, no water, on rooftops in flooded settlements. And this is another deliberate crime of Russia: after the terrorist state has caused a disaster, it maximizes the damage done," the president of Ukraine said.
According to him, a "clear and quick" response from the world to what is happening is needed.
We remind you that the Nova Kahovka Dam in southern Ukraine was blown up. The accident endangers the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
