when moscow took the area around the southern city of nova kakhovka, i realised it could become a flash. the city is close to a key reservoir and europe's largest nuclear power station. live from london, this is bbc news. dozens of towns and villages are flooded in ukraine after a major dam is breached. let's go live now to kyiv, speak to bbc ukrainian�*s viktoriia zhuhan, who's there. for today, we understand from ukrainian authorities that about 16,000 residents on the banks of ukraine controlled areas are in immediate critical danger. our team has been investigating for many months... water supplies are of key importance in the hot and dry south of ukraine, and russia previously targeted the waterways here, along with other civilian infrastructure. ..man—made flood into a weapon. yet, this breach caused much bigger disruption. i knew that soon this story would fade from the headlines. i wanted to keep following it to understand how this critical moment will affect ukraine and the rest of the world. we're heading to the southern region of ukraine. we want to see how the locals are cop

we know something more about the events that took place recently in nova kakhovka, that is, we just wanto understand, i am now looking at a schizophrenic photo, it is written in ukrainian, the youth cinema, above the soviet flag, red, with a hammer, from the side of the united russia, and we know , that there is one less fascist per... one fascist, they are fighting, they say that this is terrorism, and the secretary branch of united russia in novaya kakhovka, the ammunition received when his car was blown up has run out, so in this case our partisans are working on the temporarily occupied left bank, are the defense forces of ukraine working well? i think that here, i can't, i can only talk about some, well, something, just like you. to draw conclusions, well, i think that both partisans and our intelligence were working here, this is such an operation , not just, apparently, it was the partisans who did it, but here is the question, i think it will soon become clear who, when we liberate the left bank, we will find out who it is these heroes who work there on the left bank, and in gene

no verdict yet, so far this is what wants an indictment, well, let's cool down this situation, nova kakhovkas new kakhovka, serhiy tsegipa, yes, for them this is a normal situation, and in fact, a large number of people are generally detained without any investigation now, that is , they are, de facto, they are arrested, they are deprived will, but no... investigative actions are not taking place, relatives do not have access to them, there are no lawyers there, that is, they chose someone in order to make such a show trial, a court, but not a court, but there are people who are just them there, they're just in these prisons are sitting and their fate is very unclear there right now, because according to many they do not even confirm, they do not confirm that these people are with them, that is, as they confirm there, there is a chance, there is a possibility that they will be, through the exchange of prisoners, although civilians it is very difficult to fire, but there is such an opportunity, and people whom the russian federation does not recognize that they are in them, well, it is very d

, yesterday there was a big explosion, nova kakhovka, as far as we understand, is under control. occupiers, well, something there was so powerfully banging, maybe there is some additional information, there is no additional information, although i have it there, acquaintances, let's say so, but there is no additional information, it is very difficult to contact the new tikhavka now, in fact, they rarely go out on communication, and only the internet, and the internet is not always available, and we can get there somewhere once a week. and even those that are there are very hard to hear, so once a week we can somehow contact and ask, in fact, what is there happens, if again these people know, reliable information, let's say, do you record, maybe actually there is some information that you can usually make public, as to whether there are any changes in the number of personnel, in any movements. russians on the left bank, maybe some, some logistical nuances have appeared, maybe somewhere there they are transporting something, moving , preparing for something, er, yes, there is an im

andrii, you know, yesterday, when we spoke with nova kakhovka, he is the mayor on the right bank, andeople on the left said that they could do, they could evacuate , but as he drew a route for us, this route was long and ended in sumy oblast, he says, this is the only option, so as not to... because , other countries, as if there is one pusher working there, they say, a shorter one, tell me how it works, how, how these people are verified, how, what procedures do people go through when moving to the aggressor country, look, all the checkpoints on the border with russia and on the border with belarus, they are closed by the decision of the government, that is, they are not carried out there, any operations form, but ukraine in general, and the border guards, in particular, are doing everything possible to ensure that our citizens have the opportunity to return to the territory controlled by the ukrainian authorities, but, of course, they must first of all cross the border, either to russia or belarus, if they choose to these directions, no citizen of ukraine, if he reaches the ukrainia

impressive continuous strikes were carried out on the command and headquarters of the occupiers, nova kakhovka, cossack camps and responses to the field warehouses with ammunition, all this created the prerequisites for the successful character of amphibious operations of the armed forces of ukraine. i would also like to ask about the american aid to ukraine and israel, this is a joint package, but will the american aid be enough for both countries? it's enough, let's talk about the fact that today's statements by biden even included specific figures: 61 billion is for the aid of ukraine, 14 billion for the aid of... israel, in addition, approximately two billion is expected for the aid of taiwan. therefore, we can talk about the fact that there will be enough not only for ukraine, israel, but also, accordingly, taiwan. in addition, the main miscalculation of the russian side is that they did not take into account the fact that israel is a strategic military partner of the united states outside the nato bloc. it is precisely this status that enables israel to receive military-technical assista

let me remind you that after the detonation of the hess in nova kakhovka, which happened on june 6 ofs year, the kherson direction was closed for offensive operations for a certain time, however, the return of the dnieper to its forward channel changed the geometry of the area, and the front of active actions expanded again by another 200 km . so, as a result , our forces began to actively operate on the left bank. operations, and in recent weeks, and especially in the last couple of days, the enemy has become much more hysterical. zet warriors claim that on october 17-18, units of two ukrainian marine infantry brigades, probably a section the size of a dorothy, made an advance across the dnieper, the eastern left bank of the kherson region, and now i will ask that we take another look at the infographic to understand what exactly we are talking about, eh... in fact, the anchor point is prydniprovske, which is on the right bank, a few kilometers from antonivka, the antoniv bridge, that road bridge, which was destroyed and is located a little to the east, just prydni prydniprovske, fro
