UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths points to the long-term dire consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station. Griffiths: Dam is a lifeline for the region and a critical source of water for millions of people.

Earlier, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya called on UN Secretary General António Guterres to condemn the undermining of the dam by the Kyiv regime. According to him, this has already led to an environmental disaster - dozens of settlements are flooded.
