Beginning of The End For PUTIN With Break-Up of Russia Coming
Vladimir Putin could be facing the beginning of his own end and further break-ups of Russia are likely once the country is defeated in Ukraine, Luke Coffey, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, said
Ukraine Dam: Thousands Flee Floods After Dam Collapse Near Nova Kakhovka
A Biblical Deluge: People Along Dnipro River Wake Up to Catastrophe - 'The water keeps rising'
BBC 7 JUNE 2023
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are without normal access to drinking water after the Kakhovka dam was destroyed, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
Tens of thousands remain in flooded areas in southern Ukraine, he said, accusing Russia of failing to help those trapped in parts they controlled.
There are fears that water levels could rise further.
Ukraine and Russia accused each other of blowing up the dam on Tuesday, but the BBC cannot verify the claims.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called the breach "a barbaric act" in a phone call with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Kremlin said in a statement.
Mr Zelensky said he had also spoken to President Erdogan, and had stressed the "humanitarian and environmental consequences" of the disaster.
"Hundreds of thousands of people have been left without normal access to drinking water," Ukraine's president said on his Telegram channel.
"We can only help on the territory controlled by Ukraine. On the part occupied by Russia, the occupiers are not even trying to help people," he added.
As mass evacuations continued on Wednesday in Ukraine's Kherson region, satellite images highlighted widespread devastation there.
One of the photos showed a flooded port and industrial area in the regional capital Kherson, which is under Ukrainian control.
