The Prime Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal, held a meeting of the State Commission for Technogenic and Environmental Safety and Emergency Situations regarding the destruction of the Kakhovska HPP by the Russians. Shmyhal reported this in the Telegram channel.
According to Shmyhal, he heard operational information from THE Regional Military Administration, Ukrhydroenergo and ministries.
"Currently, there are no victims among the population due to high water," he clarified.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on the night of June 6, the Russians blew up the Kakhovska HPP. The Kherson City Council announced that evacuation by buses will be carried out from Kherson districts and villages where flooding is occurring.
Nataliya Humeniuk, head of the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine, says that the Kakhovska HPP was blown up in order to put pressure on Ukraine and provoke a certain situation.
In Kherson, in the Korabel neighborhood, the power supply was turned off due to flooding caused by the Russians blowing up the Kakhovska HPP.
Meanwhile, the Defense Intelligence believes that the Russian occupiers' detonation of the Kakhovska hydroelectric power plant poses a threat of a nuclear disaster at the Zaporizhzhia NPP.
At the same time, Enegroatom confirms the danger, as the water level in the cooling ponds at the Zaporizhzhia NPP may now drop. At the same time, the situation there is still under control.
The explosion that the Russians staged at the Kakhovska HPP completely destroyed the engine room from the inside. Now the station cannot be restored.
