In flood-struck Kherson region, 30% of nature reserve fund under threat - Yermak

That’s according to the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, who addressed the issue on Telegram, Ukrinform reports.

"As a result of the Russian terrorist attack and destruction of the Kakhovka HPP, 30% of the nature reserve fund in Kherson region is currently under threat of disappearance," Yermak said.

According to the official, the consequences of the man-made disaster are yet to be investigated but the terrorist state must be held accountable for the ecocide.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on the night of June 6, Russian forces blew up the Kakhovka HPP dam. The plant cannot be restored, according to the operator. In Kherson region, a rescue and evacuation operation is underway to get the people out of the flooded areas. The situation is especially difficult in the temporarily occupied territories, where the invaders left people without any help.
