Lack of global reaction to blowing up Kakhovka HPP may push Putin to even worse crimes, - MFA
There were no new punitive measures against the Kremlin for undermining the Kakhovka HPP.
Deputy Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Andrii Melnyk announced this on Twitter, Censor.NET reports.
He noted that after the Russians entered a "new dimension" of the war with the blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP dam, the world public expressed only concern.
"But there were no new punitive measures against the Kremlin. This is dangerous. It can push Putin to even worse crimes," Melnyk emphasized.
As Censor.NET reported, on the morning of 6 June, it became known that the Russian occupiers had blown up the Kakhovka HPP. The explosion completely destroyed the engine room, and the station cannot be restored.
Evacuations have begun in the region. As many as 80 settlements could be flooded. A total of 16,000 people are in the critical zone on the right bank of the Dnipro.
The explosion of the Kakhovka HPP threatens the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, but the situation is now under control. The explosion could also cause an imbalance in Ukraine's energy system. Fields in southern Ukraine could turn into desert.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, no one other than Russia had the technical capability to blow up the HPP. The NYT interviewed experts and also concluded that the plant was blown up from the inside. The telegram channel of the 205th Motorised Rifle Brigade of the Russian Federation, which is suspected of blowing up the dam, posted about the mining of the hydroelectric power plant and the possibility of blowing it up in October 2022.
The Kremlin claims that the Russians were not involved in the explosion of the Kakhovka HPP and puts the blame on the Ukrainians.
