is this true nature conservation for only green washing? after all, there are billions to be made. our chief documentary, deep sea greed starts june 8th on d, w. the . this is dw, and use a live from bill in a humanitarian to sauced unfolding and southern ukraine. offer a russian held down is destroyed, but size trading blame for blowing up. take a huff cut down on that to be pro rated the types of crops and drinking water are at risk with thousands of residents. already evacuated. also coming up with germany

. looks to boost security ties in the endo pacific defense minister forest. this story is, is on india as an india hoping to den rushes growing influence that will take you to the brand of an active volcano and denise. yeah. place some people say brings good luck. but 1st, you have to get that the launch like a welcome to the program. and humanitarian emergency is unfolding in southern ukraine, following the destruction of a major, them controlled by russia. keep accused as moscow of blowing up the whole cut down to slower ukraine's military and mid signs of the russian counter offensive. gaining traction. thousands of civilians have been forced to evacuate from the

flood waters from seeing local officials to declare a state of emergency concerns with an adviser for which you a nuclear power plant. also growing. it draws water from the reservoir that's now draining away. meanwhile, the kremlin is accusing ukraine of sabotage to distract from alleged failures on the battlefield. with floodwaters rising, people grasped what they could and fled supplied send me every thing is submerged in water. all the furniture, the fridge, food, all the flowers. everything is floating. i don't know what to do. satellite images taken 2 days apart. so the extent of the damage to the gulf could um most of my officials say up to a t townsend villages or at risk of flooding. thousands of residents have been told

to evacuate. the dam lies in russian controlled, southern new crane and near the front line. want to show you ukraine blames most go for the breach. president below him is lensky claims that keith knew that russia had placed explosives on the time last year. we were success . inform i certainly saw the information indeed came from our intelligence. we chatted without partners and everyone essentially understood that the russian federation was together with certain collaborators, had a mind the damn about optimism in the wall of dom blue schumann, or the kremlin, accuses cave of sabotage. the defense minister claimed to crane blow up the dumb to prevent a russian offensive distribution. the cave regime committed another terrorist crime that kind of car drove electric down was probably not that was which led to the flooding of significant territories,

supplemented especially significantly. everybody. washington has responded cautiously, a lot of interest saying that monitoring the impact of the breach, investing in america agenda members. but we cannot say, conclusively, what happens at this point. we will certainly share more information when we can. what is clear and what we absolutely can say is that the damage to the ukrainian people and to the region will be significant. well, leaders have condemned what is being cool to humanitarian on the logical disaster. yeah, joseph syringe 0 and the from the council on foreign relations told us who he thought had the most to gain from the damage destruction as well. there's no question that the russian stand to gain the most the ukrainian counter offensive seems to be in motion. it is starting, there been combat along most of the 600 kilometer front line. and this is a way of blocking the ukrainians from crossing the deep row river from trying to

make their kind of offensive affective and cutting the russian land bridge between russia proper and crimea. so russia has all the motivation in this case, but the destruction of this down deprives the russian occupied crime in peninsula of water, and it will force the russian troops to regroup. doesn't ukraine also stand to gain something here? yes, does possible, but it would be highly unlikely that the ukrainians would want to drown their own. people would want to impede their own military operations. it's there is no washer offensive. at this point, the russians are in defensive positions. the ukrainians are the ones that are trying to get across the river to attack the russians. this flooding threatens, they are kind of offensive plants. let's talk a little bit about the separation of nuclear power plant. you've written that the

separation power plant. is it taking you say a time bomb, then you say that you and you say what's to be i a has said today that there is no immediate new phase safety risk from the cutoff cut down breach. what do we know about this situation as separate you? this is grave announced at the i a director, rafael mariano grossi is going to as upper we show next week. and that he is warning that while there is no immediate crisis, this greatly complicates an already dangerous situation. he's been wanting for months about the conditions at the plants, the fear that the electricity could be cut off, that the staff that has been cut by 2 thirds could be stressed and make an error that's fighting in the region. could interrupt the electrical electric supply or damage the reactors. and now we have this problem of the river on like below the dam, where the problem is flooding this after we sure facility is above the dam. and here

the problem is that the rock, the river level, is dropping precipitously. if it continues to drop at this rate in a couple of days, the, the nuclear reactor will be unable to draw water from its reservoir there to cool the fuel by its if those fuel rods are not cool, they will explode in a hydrogen gas explosion. much like what we saw in from kasheila, as the director pointed out, there is a, a, a cooling pond on site. they should be able to operate for months and keep the fuel rods cool. as long as the structural integrity of that holding bond is maintained. and that's the great danger, if the russians indeed are behind this destruction of the damned, if they're willing to do this, what else are they willing to do? they might be willing to intentionally destroy the electricity supply or the cooling supplied to this after we share facility, causing another gross humanitarian disaster. uh,

what could the effects be if there is a successful ukrainian account or offensive in does that bridge the arrow area as well? we expect the fighting to be quite heavy in this region because it's the critical point where you can cut the russian supply lines, cut the ability of the russians to transfer as of troops and supplies from rush to proper down to pry me, et cetera. so we expect the fighting to be quite heavy, and the danger is that the russians intentionally destroyed this app. are we sure facility or finding unintentionally hits the facility? cuts off the electricity, thereby ending the cooling operations for breach is the one of the cooling pond for breaches. one of the reactors itself, there were multiple ways that this could go south in a hurry. that's one of the reasons i, a director rockdale grossi is going there to try to calm the situation. try to get russia to agree to d. miller, to rise the plant, withdraw the military from the plant, and, and declare

a demilitarized zone around the plant. you can solve this, there is a solution, but it all depends on russia. they're the ones holding the cards right now. and so far they appear to want to keep this operation plant as a nuclear ace in the hole, if they need to play it as part of this kind of offensive developed russia holding into the cost that's national security. i miss joseph stevens. c o, and i thank you very much for your analysis. thank you for having me. as a look now at some of the stories making headlines around the wells. the international course of justice in the hague has begun hearing a case, bruce by ukraine, seeking reparations from russia. key ones, the top you and core to order most go to pay damages for on the rebels, and it's east and regions in the years before the 2022 invasion, russia has previously ignored the court's rulings in the us for my new jersey
