Andriy Yermak tells Guardian dam could not have been destroyed by shelling; US spokesman questioned on dam destruction in White House briefing
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has condemned the attack on the Nova Kakhovka dam in the Russia-occupied south of his country as “an environmental bomb of mass destruction”.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that if the bursting of the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine on Tuesday was proven to be intentional, it would represent a “new low” in Russian aggression, Zelenskiy’s chief of staff says he “does not understand” how there are any doubts that Russian forces blew up the dam.
The governor of the Kherson region, Oleksandr Prokudin, said about 16,000 people were in the “critical zone” on the Ukrainian-controlled right bank of the river.
