[000:00:00;00] another verdict, we will sum up the results of another political and, er, military day. with this, i say goodbye and wish you all the best . take care of yourself and your relatives. goodbye on the air, the frenzy from ukraine, live from london and evgenia shedlovska. and today we are talking about the destruction of the kakhovskaya hpp, what are the consequences will have and how will the world react, the water floods dozens of settlements, people are evacuated from both banks of the dnieper, the ukrainian authorities declare that the dam was blown up by the russian military, that this is

a war crime and an environmental disaster russia detonated a bomb causing massive ecological damage and this is a real ecocide in the south of ukraine destroyed dam of the kakhovsky reservoir ukrainian authorities say it was blown up at night by the russian military they have been controlling since the first day since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in russia voiced different conflicting versions of what happened their main version is that dumbo was destroyed, say the ukrainians forces due to the destruction of the dam in the flooding zone of dozens of settlements, in particular kherson on the right bank of the kherson region, according to the regional administration in the critical zone, approximately 16 000 people there announced the evacuation at the same time the occupying russian authorities on the left bank of the kherson region first declared that there were no threats and then that they would evacuate the flooded people nova kakhovka is bare prystani oleshki the office of the prosecutor general of ukraine is investigating the undermining of the dam as a war crime and ecocide and in ukraine hydroenergo stated that the russians blew up the machine room at night hall of the kakhovsky hpp station is completely destroyed, it cannot be restored , water from the kakhovsky reservoir is expected until tomorrow morning, after which

the water level will stabilize in 4-5 days as predict that it will begin to decline . and what will happen to the occupied zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant? energoatom said that the destruction of the kakhovka hpp could have negative consequences for the nuclear power plant. the water will recede, the ukrainian authorities previously warned that the russians had mined the dam and could blow it up, now it has happened , says president zelensky, listen to what he told the leaders of the bucharest nine countries today, er, russian terrorists once again proved that they are a threat to all living things, that night they blew up the dam of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station at 2:50 a.m., this explosion happened, a completely deliberate , prepared explosion. they knew exactly what they

were doing, well, imagine the volume or storage facilities a-a which was held by this dam. it is one of the largest water reservoirs in ukraine, and later president zelenskyi said that from 35 to 70 settlements will be flooded and there will be problems with drinking water in the region, and we are in touch with journalist lisa zarkhikh and from odesa. have you been monitoring the situation all day, what is the scale of the flooding? good evening. as i said, a critical rise in water is expected tomorrow morning, june 7. i managed to contact dr. ihor pylypenko skhdu he believes that after the explosion, the russians, the russians of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station are under threat, and it is logical that all settlements above the dnieper are located at a level from zero to six meters relative to

the normal bank of the dnieper - it is approximately two floors there, and this figure is as much as possible. at the moment, i am sure that the water will not rise to such a level after all, and of course the houses located on the coastal territory in kherson are suffering - this is the micro-district of the island , the district of the river port, antonivka voenka, everything that is located near the water is being flooded and the water continues to arrive temporarily it is difficult to monitor the situation in the occupied territory . it is known that already in the morning in the occupied nova kakhovka, the local zoo was flooded . how swans are swimming in the streets of novaya kakhovka, swans are also flooded, they are located on the left bank immediately after

the destroyed antoniv bridge, and almost all settlements along the coastline are usually flooded, and in some situations it is critical , for example, in uleshka and bare prystana . and what is happening with the evacuation continues, it is known that as of the 18th, about 1,400 people were evacuated from the korabel neighborhood , most of them were evacuated there. about 1,200 people were evacuated, and at the time when the evacuation was taking place, the russian military was shelling kherson is known that two police officers were injured during the evacuation. ukrzaliznytsia also helps with the evacuation in mykolaiv. they set up collection points for people . kherson

residents were brought there by rail. this was told by the head of the city-city-local military administration , svitlana linyk. there is flooding . the top line of the village of kardashinka, the old zbur'ivka, gola prystan'e, falls there. at the same time , she says that russian soldiers remained there during the war. the military at the time of the flooding and in the evening the water there rose by about one and a half meters, it continues to try, it is already in the central part of the bare prystan, and the officials also say that the russians did not let people out of kardashinka or the bare prystan in the direction of skadovsk, that is, beyond the region and later the russians were informed that

they had announced the evacuation, but linnyk says that this is a lie because in reality there are no such buses and even if people are invited to evacuate by the russians, they refuse and they don’t want to go because of the prerequisites that existed before, that is, when the evacuation in the kherson region was equal to the forced deportation of lisa, and the last question is very brief , what will happen to drinking water in the south ? the head of the regional military administration oleksandr prykutin said at a briefing today , according to him , a suspension of water is already being organized there, and in kherson

there are currently about 10 wells, but according to the local authorities, a critical situation is not expected, because there are about 150 pumping stations in kherson . thank you lisa, journalist lisa zarkhikh, the russian authorities reject kyiv's accusations of undermining the kakhov hpp, russian officials are also talking about sabotage, saying that the hpp was fired upon by the ukrainian military. how did their version change? a bbc correspondent is being followed by the muscovites of crete. in the morning, official statements from moscow sounded very confused somewhere at 6:30 in the morning, and he came across an article by the tas news agency in his phone with a reference to to an official appointed by the kremlin, new kakhovtsi, who said that the city was peaceful and calm, as if nothing was happening there at all. soon after that, another message was received from taz, referring to the same official, that a terrorist attack was committed at night , a rocket attack on the dam, his version completely changed, and still later, a source in the security forces told the agency that

there was no missile attack, dumbo simply fell before lunch, people already seemed to believe the official version of events, we heard it from putin's press secretary dmitry piskov, we we heard this from defense minister shoigu according to the kremlin's version - it was the ukrainian side that carried out a terrorist attack on the dam, the bishop called it a sabotage, russian officials seem to be connected with the ukrainian counteroffensive, which , according to moscow, will fail, so the official russian version of the event is the opposite of the one put forward by ukraine to whom a profitable breakthrough of the kakhovskaya gs dam, while the ukrainian military is ready for a counteroffensive, as the ukrainian authorities stated, the bbc's diplomatic correspondent polad live on the air explained why this disaster is more profitable for the russians and here are the arguments the parties give agree that it was sabotage nobody thinks that it is an accident but the question is

who is behind this sabotage i think it is worth looking at the map and here it is clearly visible that that bridge and that road were the only possible crossing over the dnipro river south of zaporizhzhia. so let's imagine some russian general in the south of ukraine who is looking at maps of the area, he is worried about possible attacks from the ukrainian side with the beginning of a counteroffensive, and all his attention will be focused on the dam and this road, so i think that if we take into account the ukrainian counteroffensive, then the russian side obviously had a stronger motive and desire to destroy the dam, we may never establish who exactly is responsible for this, the whole thing is now under water and civilians are overcoming the humanitarian consequences but i think what is more unbelievable was the attempt of the russians to slow down the offensive of the ukrainian forces. and how is the world reacting? the united states is very concerned , said the representative of the white house. the prime minister of canada

through the center said that this is another example terrible consequences of the russian invasion of ukraine, and what about europe. the head of the european council, charles michel , calls the destruction of civilian infrastructure a war crime. he promises that russia and its puppets will be brought to justice . as war crimes, this is his quote german chancellor olafsholz called the destruction of the kakhova hpp dam a new dimension of the conflict, which , however, is consistent with the way putin conducts this waging war by striking civilian objects, this is one of the many crimes that we have seen in ukraine and that were committed by the russian military, says scholtz, and then the reaction, what is the reaction of britain, here is the statement of the minister of foreign affairs, james cleverley, i know about the report about the explosion on the dam and the risk floods, it is still too early for me to make thorough assessments of the details of what happened, but it is worth remembering that of course the only reason that this happened at all was not a provoked invasion of russia, a full-scale invasion of ukraine, we

will continue to assess the situation in of development but of course we repeat what we have already said during this conflict, the best thing russia can do now is to withdraw its troops immediately ukraine demanded that due to the situation at the kakhovka hydroelectric power station, an urgent meeting of the un security council be convened, it is scheduled for tonight and here is the reaction of un secretary general antonio guterres he said that he does not have access to independent information about the circumstances that led to the destruction of the hpp , at the same time, according to him, this is another terrible consequence of the russian invasion of ukraine in general, this is the reaction of the world. specialists from the bbc very-fi department are a team that verifies information . they analyzed satellite images of the kakhov hpp before and after the breach and this is what they managed to establish. this is a photo of the dam from the first of june. we see

that there is a big breach here and we know what happened. already in the winter. but it is still unknown. how did it affect and what was the contribution to what happened today in this particular photo? we can also see that the structure actually remained intact and we can also see the road that connects the two banks of the river moving on, on june 4, we actually see key changes, the part of the road that connects the banks of the river collapsed, we still don't know exactly how it happened, but it is possible, given that the ukrainians in the north, the russians in the south, there could have been some kind of shelling from both sides in the last photo, this is a few photos hours ago and it was taken at 9:00 a.m. bst and we can see the extent of the damage we can clearly see that a large part of about 250 meters here in this

area of ​​dumbo was completely destroyed this first part of the ukrainian side of the bridge is not damaged, but we can also see additional destruction in this area, where the hydro station is located and where the hydroelectric power plant is located, moreover, due to the fact that the reservoir was at a record high . according to reports, the water level also additionally began to move in the south and east of the dam so this is the bbc berifay - this is what we have been able to verify and we have verified several videos to show additional destruction downstream of the dnieper as it flows further into the black sea but at this stage we still don't we have accurate visual elements that indicated to us what exactly caused these destructions, this is the analysis of the bbc very high team

of civilians at risk and created a threat to the cooling system of the reactors of the zaporizhzhia npp a the ukrainian company ukrhydroenergo said that the kakhovskaya hpp is completely destroyed and cannot be restored. what does this mean? who and in what way is evacuating people? how will the blow-up of the dam affect the counteroffensive? ukrainian forces, what the leaders of the western countries say, everything that is known as of now is told and analyzed in the svoboda life program kakhovskaya hpp this is the sixth stage of the cascade of dnipro hydroelectric power stations, it provides regulation of the flow of the dnipro for electricity supply, irrigation and water supply of obedient regions of southern ukraine, as well as navigation from kherson to zaporizhzhia the destruction of the kakhova hpp , the ukrainian authorities call

the kakhova power plant the biggest man-made man-made disaster in europe in recent decades according to preliminary information, the 205th motorized rifle brigade of the russian armed forces could blow up the hydroelectric power plant, this was announced by the adviser to the head of the presidential administration, mykhailo podolyak, in the main intelligence department , they reminded that russian troops had mined the kakhova hpp as early as april 22, this is the first satellite image of the destroyed kakhova hpp in comparison with a german on june 4, it can be seen that almost the entire structure of the hydroelectric power station was destroyed . the ministry of defense of ukraine warned residents of the kherson region who live in the zone about the danger of flooding, which could be washed away by the flow of water and washed to the shore in the flooded zone, about 80 settlements volodymyr zelenskyi reported today, this is what the occupied nova kakhovka looks like. swans also swam today. well

, kherson region is in the water. no further comments . i am now in kherson and watching with my balls this catastrophe created by the russian federation with its actions. here you can look, the water is moving literally every second, even before i started talking, they weren't

there. it's already starting to rise. and it's just beginning, so i want to draw the attention of the world to what the russian federation is doing to destroy ukraine , ukrainians and those territories of ours that are located and under occupation, which are not occupied, there is quite a stream of flooding, everything that it will be further, no one knows. let's just say that if they speak good russian, it's russian. that's how

i can't say more to a friend. we didn't swim. the hydroelectric power plant flooded everything smoothly, there is no first floor, the store is flooded, we are afraid

of flooding, of course we take it a little higher. according to the latest data , 70 houses and three bridges were flooded on the right bank of the dnieper , the head of the kherson regional administration, oleksandr prokudin, recently informed about this, according to him, the houses are

in the villages between the kakhov hpp and kherson well, in kherson, there is also flooding in some areas. radio svoboda correspondent ivan antipenko is currently working there. he joins our broadcast, ivan. good evening. i greet you , ivan. how critical is the situation in kherson itself now ? how is the evacuation of people going and what are the prospects for further evacuation , what does the local government say, well, i will start with the last question regarding the evacuation, according to official data, it is known that the flooded areas were evacuated approximately 1,300 people. i think there are already more of them at the moment. regarding the flooded houses , the head of the regional military administration said that there were 71. but i think that this is about completely flooding, or at least those that you reached there, i don’t know from the middle of the house because

i am now in kherson at the corner of the streets of richelievska mykhailivska - this is the district of rychporta, you can see behind me there is already a lot of water, and while i was waiting here for our inclusion, the water is gradually rising, and that is, i had to leave there for several meters there up to 10 m ahead. that is, it can be concluded that such houses are flooded much more. especially since such areas of kherson as oil fields are the neighborhoods of the island from which the evacuation took place. give an estimate by the number, but they are well, definitely not 70, i think there are much more, already flooding, well, that is, the water is coming, uh, the district of richport, this is, well, to the river , to me, i think that if you look directly, it

is possible up to 300 meters. well, somewhere, that is, water is coming soon ivan, you worked all day in kherson today and you filmed what was happening there, we can watch your material right now i understand exactly in this material i talked to people who live near the river who are either planning to evacuate or are collecting some things just to be on the alert , we also visited the railway station where people were brought from the district island and these people decided to evacuate first to mykolaiv and then to safer places, or as the people themselves say, they would like to return to them as soon as possible home because their moods are so philosophical, you know, they survived the occupation, we will survive the water

. well, i ask you to see what they said to me , the embankment in kherson behind me, the dnipro river, we can see how the water level does not have a stream. for 50-70 m, it is now impossible to do this because the water is rising rapidly. also, we can see several places on the left bank from which thick smoke is rising, most likely the armed forces of ukraine hit the positions of the russian military on that bank and there something is on fire, the dam of the kakhovskaya hpp is located 60 km upstream, locals from those regions report that the coastal villages are being flooded, and in kherson we see the consequences of the dam breach , construction materials are being carried downstream, various parts of the houses that were washed away earlier, my brother and father are on the left bank. i managed to get

in touch with his brother. he says that the river has receded by about 4 m, it was at 9:00 in the morning , that is, the water in them is receding. the first house, which is near the river, is already completely filled with water. that’s why i think that our second house will be completed in 30 days . what day did you think it would be possible to leave? i want to evacuate. well, i want to go further. everything will be great. yes , of course, documents, a dog, things, and everything,
