Details: The Interior Minister said that additional equipment, reagents and specialists are needed to repair the leak.
In addition, according to Klymenko, about 167,000 people in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast alone were left without water. The first task in this area is to drill additional wells or provide water from the Dnipro riverbed.
Quote: "Today, there are no problems with the supply of water, both drinking and industrial. But it requires serious logistics. The main thing is that the people affected by this disaster get new housing."
More details: In turn, the US ambassador said she was very outraged by Russia's latest terrorist act – the blowing up of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.
She stressed that official Washington would make every effort to help Ukraine deal with the aftermath as soon as possible.
Background:
- On the night of 5-6 June, the Russians blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, destroying the turbine hall and the station itself.
- The destruction caused at least 150 tonnes of machine oil to flow into the Dnipro River, and 80 settlements were flooded.
