The Russian delegation intends to convene a meeting of the UN Security Council because of the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station
The Russian delegation intends to convene a meeting of the UN Security Council in connection with the explosion, as a result of which the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was destroyed. This was announced by the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vasily Nebenzya.
According to the Russian permanent representative, the corresponding meeting will be convened without delay, but the exact time of the event is still unknown.
Nebenzya also commented on the accusations against the Russian side that the Russian Armed Forces allegedly undermined the infrastructure of the Kakhovskaya HPP. The permanent representative questioned the mental health of those who made such accusations, and also stressed the impossibility of the Russian army carrying out sabotage, which resulted in the flooding of the territory under Russian control.
Earlier it was reported that as a result of shelling by militants of the Kyiv regime, the upper part of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was destroyed. Presumably, the blow was delivered with the use of the Alder MLRS. According to the authorities of the Novokakhovsk city district, the valves regulating the discharge of water were destroyed on the dam, but the dam itself was not damaged.
Currently, there is an unregulated discharge of water from the Kakhovka reservoir, as a result of which the water level in the area of the settlement of Novaya Kakhovka has risen by ten meters, potentially the maximum increase in the water level can reach 12 meters. Three coastal villages were completely submerged.
