War in Ukraine: more than 2,700 people evacuated following the destruction of the Kakhovka dam
“This ecological disaster, with 600 km² flooded, was prepared by the Russians”, affirms Inna Le Gall, the president of the association. “We must alert the French and explain to them what happened.”
According to her, the hydroelectric dam, located in an area under Russian control, did not give way because of the damage suffered during bombardments in the previous months but because the Russians allegedly blew it up. Its destruction, for which Moscow and kyiv blame each other, flooded towns and villages on both banks of the Dnieper River, and forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes.
