[000:00:00;00] the championship of ukraine, but wild animals are trying to escape from the flood with their own strength, in kherson a beaver came out on the street, probably having also lost its home in another place , they dragged a fawn to the shore, and in nova kakhovka , a couple of swans swam in front of the cultural center, birds that mostly nest near the water flew away yesterday from the flooded areas with a wedge, it was filmed by eyewitnesses olena pila volunteer yuanimals joined the freedom early when on i congratulate you i congratulate you olena is it even possible

to assess now because the animals were hurt due to flooding as a result of the destruction of the kakhovskaya dam somehow completely and uh, how many more will there be, many people are contacting and asking for the evacuation of animals to help the animal shelter in the trees and uh , he is trying to cover it already, only they are not there, various materials are arriving and very- a lot, and if you have the opportunity, it is possible to move a little further from the road, because we can hear you, but it is very bad. they probably have tracks. and tell me, what is the situation at the zoo in occupied novaya kakhovka? fabulous dibrova . did none of the animals make it at all

to save ah, well, at the moment, we only have confirmation of the fact that the animals were unable to do this. only swans , ducks, and those that swim in water have been able to do this. so far , the information that the number of minutes is even higher has been confirmed. well, the occupation authorities of novaya kakhovki says that they did not have a zoo and therefore no animals were harmed. how can you comment on such statements? well, the official authorities, as always , are asked to hide their crimes and that they know nothing, are not involved in anything , in other words, what are the consequences for wildlife as a result of the blasting of the kakhovka hpp do you and your fellow volunteers understand roughly what is going on or can

you predict it is completely impossible but the consequences will be very uh-uh because uh-uh and uh-uh the largest reservoir is counted, the water would pop if it went into the black sea from this the composition of the water will change, it will suffer only from the fish and all the other people who live in the sea. because it may be interesting to understand, they will not change and it will be, you know, so ecological , because they are animals, they will develop, this is the way out

er, they are all active in nature, plus those who died do not immediately recognize others , er, they will er, be searched for, but it is impossible to find all those who died, and it will be all over the territory, it is more expensive to play and i want to go out at this time, well wrong, how to say it correctly, yes, terrible. and finally, tell me how you can help. what kind of help is needed in rescuing animals, is it money or is it possible to connect and become a volunteer with you to help ? there is a team there is a result we are going now

by three cars three the crew and the girl link a-a we are returning from western ukraine on the 6th of the fifth we just had an evacuation from kherson where we saved 114 animals and all of them were delivered to western ukraine and that's how we found ourselves on the road at transportation of evacuated animals, that is why we have completed breeding and are learning not practically , we are already leaving for kherson and will start rescuing when there are enough hands, so to speak, enough finances. is this something that is constantly lacking?

it is necessary to immediately examine and vaccinate if necessary. every animal with a different disease and stress needs a sedative, well, a lot. each animal must be examined separately after such stress that it received . any help will be useful . a drunk volunteer of ua animals was a guest on our broadcast, reacting to the damage to the kakhova hydroelectric power plant. the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, said in his address that he was quoting the deliberate destruction of the dam by the russians and other the construction of a hydroelectric power plant with an ecological bomb is an ecological bomb of mass destruction and such terror should not escape russia's hands, such a quote from the president, anatomy says zelenskyi , it will not interfere with the ukrainian counteroffensive.

our land and each russian terrorist attack only increases the amount of reparations that russia will pay for the crimes committed, not the chances of the occupiers to stay on our land due to the destruction of the kakhova hpp ukraine urgently called meeting of the security council of the united nations, the permanent representative of ukraine to the united nations, serhiy koslytsia, at the meeting, called the consequences after the detonation of the dam the biggest man-made disaster in europe in recent decades, it is a terrorist act against ukrainian critical infrastructure , which aims to cause as many victims as possible among the civilian population and as much destruction as possible by resorting to tactics scorched earth or, in this case , flooded earth tactics, the russian occupiers actually recognized that the captured territory did not belong to them and that they were unable to hold these lands

in russia, on the other hand, ukraine was openly accused of undermining the dam. offer to listen to the statement of the permanent representative of russia to the un. the kyiv regime did not intend to commit a crime. and it has already begun with a colossal damage to the rural economy of the region, and as a system of the mouth of the dnipro, i want to emphasize that the leadership of the armed forces of ukraine openly declared its readiness will present this dam to obtain a military advantage. even last year, the un under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and the coordinator of emergency assistance, martin horifitz, noted that the destruction of the kakhovsky hpp is one of the most significant incidents of damage to civil infrastructure, at the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine, and the scale

of the disaster, i quote, will become completely clear only in the next few days, in his turn from the un secretary general, antonio otelish, stated that the destruction of the kakhova hpp is another the destructive consequences of the russian invasion of ukraine. true, he noted that the oun does not yet have access to information to independently verify the cause of the destruction . these are the statements and we will continue to talk about the consequences of the destruction of the kakhov dam on the ukrainian infrastructure and ecology , a direct risk to the safety of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant due to there is no undermining of the kakhovsky hpp, and this is one of such important topics that was talked about the day before , when in the fall there was information about the mining of the kakhovsky hpp and information about the state of affairs has been a rumor ever since, the general director of the international atomic energy agency

, raphael grossi, said that there are no threats. and he says that the lack of cooling water for a long time will cause the fuel to melt and the failure of its emergency diesel generators, however, for now, the main cooling water line is supplied from the tank. and according to the calculations, this water should be enough for several days. he also informed that next week, as previously planned, he would personally go to zaporizhzhia npp and also the director of megate called on all parties to guarantee that the pond, which is an alternative source of water supply for the nuclear power plant, will not be undermined. there are several alternative sources of water , the main of which is a large cooling pond next to the site, which according to the project is above the height of the reservoir, since the reactors were stopped for many months , this pond is estimated to be sufficient to provide cooling water for several months, the agency will confirm

in the near future, so it is vital that this the cooling pond remained intact, nothing can be done that could potentially undermine its integrity, the decrease in the water level in the kakhov reservoir will not have serious consequences for nuclear and radiation safety at the air force, provided that the necessary measures are observed , this is what the chief state inspector for nuclear and radiation safety oleg koryukov says . in particular, he notes that during the winter , energoatom developed measures to reduce the water level of the kakhovsky reservoir, and if they are implemented, there are threats to nuclear safety at the same time, as korikov says, predicting the state of nuclear and radiation safety in the conditions of occupation with the stay of illegitimate personnel at the industrial site is difficult, as well as refuting these and the subsequent actions of the occupiers, and the fields in southern ukraine next year may

turn into deserts they declare in the ministry of agrarian policy of ukraine and there they say that the undermining of the kakhovsky hpp will stop the work of the 31st system of intercropping fields in the dnipropetrovsk kherson and zaporizhzhia regions without the kakhovsky reservoir not only farmers and water users will be affected, but also sources of drinking water supply in populated areas, in addition, the death of fish has already been recorded, and the spawning period has just ended due to a drop in the water level in the changed areas, and the faucet will dry up, according to preliminary calculations, the losses from the death of all biological resources will amount to 10 and a half billion hryvnias and because of the explosion of the kakhovsky hpp, people in the south of kherson oblast and crimea may be left without drinking water, the head of the office of the president of ukraine, andriy yermak, said in crimean partisans on telegram channels report that there is no more water in kerch and publish the schedule of water delivery in the city for today. in addition, they show videos from

subscribers where they say that the water from the tap has become dirty, in particular, those videos from kerch , yevpatoria and dzhankoye, and about trizikas from absence of water and confirmed by the occupying head of crimea, serhiy aksyonov, the northern crimean canal by militias, now the water reserves in the canal are approximately 40 million cubic meters of reservoirs, even those that were previously filled by 15-20% at this time approximately 80% of drinking water is more than enough, work is being carried out to minimize water losses in the canal, which is waiting for cream something oleksandr musienko, head of the center for military and legal research, i welcome you to the meeting convened by ukraine on the evening of june 6, the secretary general stated that there is no access to independent information about the circumstances that led to the destruction of the kakhovsky hpp, but

one thing is clear, he said that this is another terrible consequence of the russian invasion of ukraine , the coordinator of strategic communications of the white house security council, john kirby, said that the u.s. it is known about the situation that it was russia that blew up the kakhov dam, but washington cannot confirm or deny it at the moment. we also heard statements from rishi sunak, the prime minister of great britain, that the special services will also be there to see what happened . to find out, so to speak, and why exactly such a reaction? is this a normal, cautious reaction in order to really find out all the circumstances, or does the event really have, so to speak, such questions for the ukrainian authorities, is it really ukrainian , she could have been involved in the detonation kakhovskaya hpp well, i will say yes, what they say in the west , well, the un should not be commented on at all, you should not waste time on an unnecessary organization in

the world, and as for the united states and britain, i think the answer will be obvious. and what is being heard now in the west about what is will cause russian aggression and russia should bear responsibility for it. i think it is obvious that it is sometimes difficult for someone to admit the obvious things, which are that, first of all, russia would not have had all this at all if russia had not carried out an aggressive invasion of ukraine. the first thing that needs to be determined is the second, it is obvious that the russian occupiers, being wary of the ukrainian offensive and having no confidence that they are able to protect the south, have no other way but to destroy it, flood it , destroy it, and so on. that is, this is absolutely the third , who else could do it if there was an explosion planted in the engine room, and the ukrainian military simply did not have access to the engine room , that is, the station itself was controlled by the occupier, so

the occupiers are responsible, we can absolutely discuss which explosives were laid in what number of e-e keels there is an explosive wave exploding and so on, we can discuss this with typotechnical parameters , but it seems to me that there can be no discussion about who is responsible for this next war crime because there is already more than enough evidence even on the public plane in order to place the responsibility for this on russia , that is, you do not have an internal discussion about who is to blame, and what kind of evidence, and how can they be collected to prove that the russian side is to blame for this? firstly, the evidence that russia illegally invaded and is carrying out aggression against ukraine is already more than enough, i think that you are proving something extra, secondly, the fact that russia exercised control over the kakhovka gesza is also a well-known fact it does not even need

special proof today, thirdly, what russia stated and did they made calls that the kakhovskaya hpp could be blown up back in october. at that time, there were two statements, the first was that the hpp could be blown up and that ukraine is like a dirty bomb. i want to use but it is clear that russia wanted to do both on its own and simply transfer responsibility to ukraine. third, in order to carry out the detonation of such a force . will be conducted and this will be demonstrated, well, obviously later, when there is control over what was destroyed , it will be possible to conduct some kind of examination at the next moment, again, in order to plant explosives in large quantities. and i emphasize it can be a large amount of tens of kilograms, it must be physically delivered there, it is obvious that some diver or

some one person will not do it, it must be brought there at least by a truck. that we see that today the motivation pursued by russia is to make impossible any raids or offensive actions, even of a limited nature, carried out by the ukrainian army on dnipro and further, in fact, you can continue to the motivation and justification of why it is russia that is behind it, and one more fact in ukraine , there is absolutely no point in de-occupying our territory, liberating it at the cost of the lives of our soldiers , the suffering of our citizens and people in order to cause destruction, create man-made disasters and to destroy this land for which blood is being shed today, that is, here you agree with the general staff, which stated that the undermining

of the kakhovsky hpp was caused precisely in order to hinder the ukrainian counteroffensive the president of ukraine tells him about it, but then what is the logic, because it is not the only way , well, conditionally , the kherson region is not the only way to de-occupy the directions for the de-occupation for the counter-offensive. due to the undermining of the structures of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station, what actually happened, well, the russian e-forces say so , the ukrainian e-e military observed how the russian soldiers were swept away by the floods in these waters and they fled from the eastern bank dnipro after the explosion of the kakhovsky hpp in the kherson region. well, many of the occupiers seem to have either died or were wounded. cnn told the ukrainian military about this, and the children told about andrii podlisny, then why such actions? why did the russian forces not withdraw their people there in time, and was the kakhovsky hpp really blown up?

may interfere with the ukrainian counterattack well , first of all, i do not know the numbers of the number of people from the russian side of the russian military who could be injured or killed, that is, as of today, there is no official information there is no such thing, it is also necessary to proceed from the facts that there are suspicions to believe that some people remained there, that they did not have time to leave and then they invested there, the exact number of such troops was selected for today from the russian side is unknown, the first, the second , absolutely nothing was worth sinking for them their first line of defense because there are still two lines of defense there that were equipped by the enemy during the occupation of the left bank of the kherson region, so the fact that they lost the first line of defense in principle does not mean anything in particular for today, the next moment i absolutely agree from the point of view that, in principle , there are ukrainian opportunities for us here, and

again, this does not affect the counteroffensive globally strategically, and i think that these institutions will be implemented from the ukrainian side, here the question is different . the question is that even here are such raids and even the possibility of using the direction from the right bank to the left bank of the dnieper by ukrainian forces not as the main point of attack, not as a priority possible , but as a diversion or as an auxiliary one , even this made the occupiers wary actually destroy these routes and provide this. well, in the next few weeks, it will be clear that it will be complicated for the ukrainian military, and i think i would perceive it as a sign of their lack of confidence in the fact that they are able to properly defend themselves despite their defensive positions a certain number of troops that are in the occupied territories , i would like to say this to you for sharing your thoughts and arguments on this matter oleksandr musienko, the head of the center for military legal studies, was a guest of

the morning stream of radio svoboda, thank you well a next we will talk about the consequences for crimea, you and i have already heard about the fact that crimea remains without water, i will only remind you that in fact crimea has been without water from the kakhovsky reservoir since the occupation in 2014, but in 2022, during the beginning of a full-scale invasion from russia to ukraine when the kakhov reservoir was occupied, the water went to the crimea well, now crimea is without water again , oleksandr liev joins our broadcast. i congratulate you , mr. oleksandr. you have a great relationship with the crimea, you have your own experience, and it must be said that you headed and not only there the ministry of tourism of the crimea and also were an adviser to the minister of agricultural policy and food of ukraine and

these are important moments . what will be the consequences for crimea, that is, nothing will change and everything will be like after the beginning of the occupation in the 14th year, when crimea was without supplies from the kakhovsky reservoir . after all, after this tragedy , crimea will really remain on the kakhovsky e dam without water, the consequences will be, er, greater, well, drinking water in crimea is for the purpose of feeding putin's troops, er, it is there for that, it is there for that, it is enough, that's why they did not see this risk from prague, er, not a single soldier will die there because of that they certainly understood this when they blew up the dam. but it will be very difficult for us to restore the water supply after the victory, because the irrigation system of crimea itself has

been almost destroyed during the 8 years of occupation, almost e 10% 20 still remained and they tried to use it to start again last year water was started there from something there to restore some canals, but at the moment the entire system that brought water to the north crimean canal to the main structure of the north crimean canal, actually the main structure itself, has now been questioned, well, based on the information that i know it is also damaged, to what extent it is damaged, we will be able to find out in about a week, the restoration of water supply to the crimea for arash irrigated agriculture is now a big question

. to build on the basis of completely rebuild the price of the question in general, what has happened to water management and the regation system, what happened, it has consequences, consequences that exceed the cost of 3 million hryvnias, we together with my colleagues, experts, counted this morning yesterday, we discussed it, but it turned out to be such a figure, it exceeds 1 , 3 hryvnias, this applies not only to what is happening on the peninsula, but also to those contiguous lands on the territory of mainland ukraine. i will remind you that there are four hundred thousand hectares on the territory of the crimean peninsula of irrigated land were built by ukrainians during the 50 years of the use of the north crimean canal, almost half of that time was under the soviet union

, and more than half of that time was already under independent ukraine and on the territory of mainland ukraine another 200,000 hectares of irrigated land in this way, it is 600,000 hectares of irrigated land, it is a very, very complex and radiation system, because the issue is not only to supply water, but also to collect it from below , that is enough, one system is being built on 1,000 hectares, and the volume is quite significant, and this not only the destroyed infrastructure will have ecological consequences, but ecological consequences because now the water with all the pollution that it has accumulated in its flow will also go to the black sea and will have consequences for the entire black sea space

, it will go and has already gone into the there are underground rivers in the artesians. and what will happen to the quality of the water that is underground in our country, which is used by a large part of our cities in the south of ukraine, and where not only ukraine, but also romania, because the underground rivers go there. come in, it will be already to monitor, i am sure that we are poor, the quality of the water is much lower, and also taking into account that at the moment summer temperatures will be high in the yard, the sanitary condition of that water will be very risky, we will observe all this, and unfortunately the consequences will be noticeable, and oleksandr in the ukrainian ministry of agricultural policy says that the fields in the south of ukraine already next year they may not turn into a desert

literally in one minute do you think the situation in the south of ukraine on the mainland will be worse than the situation in crimea because there are more than 20 or 22 of these reservoirs in crimea this year they collected them completely, there are still some reserves in the crimea, the land has not been irrigated for 8 years, and the crimea was transformed into such an aircraft carrier that cannot be hit, that is , agriculture in the crimea was practically in a state of contraction and compared to what it was before the occupation i heard that this leads to erosion, and erosion also leads to desertification . this is the worst san. this is when the land ceases to be fertile at all and the top layer of the soil simply weathers . most of the crimea and the south of ukraine were once semi-deserts and

steppes, and it was the dnieper water that brought life to kherson oblast and crimea . currently, this life has been destroyed and this will have consequences for the condition of the soils in the entire territory of kherson oblast, mykolaiv oblast and crimea, mr. oleksandr. they will be for ukraine for decades. and about the situation in crimea . oleksandr aliyev also told oleksandr, ex-head of the water management committee of crimea , ex-minister of resorts and tourism of the peninsula . thank you for participating in the broadcast. in the kherson region, the evacuation of people continues, the rash people, meanwhile, are trying to get to the right bank of the dnieper by deception, this is news on the espresso tv channel, khrystyna parubiy works in the studio, she evacuated 1,400 people from the kherson region due to the support of the russians at the kakhovo

hydroelectric power plant, at night 13 or three people asked for help , five of them yatero from the occupied left bank, people are waiting for rescuers and volunteers on the roofs of houses and cars, they are delivered by boats to the evacuation vehicle , more than 1,800 houses are flooded, the intensity of the flow water in the region is decreasing, but due to the significant destruction of the dam, it will still arrive, in particular, a lot of water has come to the belozersk community. over the next 20 hours , the level will increase by a meter, the regional military administration predicts that there will be new flooding, and in kherson itself, new streets will be flooded in the shumensky district, but for today we see that the flow of water is decreasing and we calculate that during the day the water will gradually leave different cities
