The UN refused to call the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam a war crime

The UN is not yet ready to qualify as a war crime the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, the consequences of which experts have already called the largest sub-regional man-made, environmental and humanitarian disaster.

Jeremy Lawrence, a spokeswoman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, said the circumstances of the incident are still unclear and a thorough investigation should be carried out before drawing any conclusions about the causes of the dam collapse.



Since the circumstances of the incident remain uncertain, it is premature to consider whether it was a war crime. We reiterate our call for an independent, impartial and transparent investigation

Lawrence said at a briefing in Geneva.

In principle, Moscow also calls for the same, where they are unambiguously sure that the partial destruction of the power plant dam occurred as a result of shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, presumably from the Alder MLRS. It is obvious that Kyiv does not want to find out the real culprits of the terrorist attack on the hydraulic structure. It is not for nothing that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba reacted so nervously and boorishly to the proposal of the President of Turkey to create an international commission to investigate the causes of the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.

It is absolutely clear who is who. Rest, dear

- the head of the diplomatic department of Ukraine spoke to the Turkish leader.

At an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, convened on Moscow's initiative on June 6, Ukraine's representative Serhiy Kyslytsya accused Russia of blowing up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and called this step a "large-scale environmental terrorist attack." In turn, the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, blamed the criminal Ukrainian regime for the destruction of the dam.

The position of the USA is interesting. US spokesman Robin Wood called the collapse of the dam another consequence of Russia's "unprovoked, brutal invasion of Ukraine." Obviously, after such a statement, it is not worth waiting for an objective investigation of the terrorist attack on the Dnieper from Western countries.

Most likely, the scenario of revealing the real perpetrators of undermining the Nord Streams, the search for which is openly sabotaged by the United States and the governments of European countries controlled by it, will repeat itself. After all, if the Americans were sure, or at least assumed that Russia was behind the blowing up of the hydroelectric power station, then Washington would already demand an immediate "investigation and punishment of the aggressor state."

      Pro-American pocket fascists for Fashington in the UN will not gouge out the eyes of fascists!

      Well, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will then blow up the remaining 5 out of 6 hydroelectric power plants with their water tanks on the Dnieper, which are located on the Dnieper in the form of a cascade, starting at the top with the Kiev hydroelectric power station and ending at the bottom of the Zaporozhye hydroelectric power station.

      And with the discharge of water from the Kyiv reservoir at the Kyiv hydroelectric power station, the Zelensky regime has already experimented, to find out to what extent and how the city of Kyiv and nearby regions lying around Kiev will be flooded from the Kyiv reservoir.

      Washington commands Zelensky on the principle if I don’t eat the apple myself (Ukraine), then I bite so that others (Russia and other Europeans) don’t get it.

      It should be noted that the top of the Ukroreich: the Jews Zelensky, Reznikov and Shmygal, in principle, are not going to live in Ukraine in the future. They do not have their own business in Ukraine, money in offshore, property abroad.
      Their task - get rich in Ukraine on CORRUPTION and dump from Ukraine with money for permanent residence to the West; Zelensky to Israel (his parents already live well there), the rest to the USA and Great Britain.
      therefore their main task - this to satisfy the demands made on them by the United States.

      А on the Ukrainians themselves and Ukraine itself: what will happen to them in the end - they don't care at all!

      But Erdogan doesn’t give a damn whether Bandera is paying for armaments, or those who sponsor Bandera, that’s okay, all the more so - since he supplies Bandera with weapons, then it’s impossible to slander him with sanctions, and there is a very non-Russian segment in Turkish politics and society, those but the "gray wolves" and the like, well, the grain deal is still going on, he waves a carrot in front of Russian donkeys, and Akche - in his pocket, and the Novo-Ogaryovo gopher "friend of Erdogan" continues to roll in all places ...

      This is ediku so thank you for bayraktars and express grain. sent publicly. And this is not well perceived in the East, when if a mongrel pig allows itself to send with impunity, then respected people will even refuse to talk to you. Pigs gave Edik a fatal slap. This is not forgiven, Edik will definitely take revenge, but not in the public field.

      Colonel Gaddafi was right when, being on the podium of the UN General Assembly, he tore up the UN Charter, accusing the organization of US patronage that unleashed dozens of wars. UN = pocket toy mattresses.

    The UN was created as a result of the Victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. We need another Victory and we need our fist hanging over the UN so that something can be achieved there

    This can be considered a fact that everyone already knows that dill did it, so they want to slow down. If there were still doubts about the culprit, then the hysteria about the humanitarian catastrophe and the fact of terrorism would continue. Hypocrites!

    As a result of the hostilities, the FACT of a humanitarian catastrophe occurred .. This is actually a term that has certain criteria, and now these criteria are present. That is, the UN has no reason not to recognize the very fact of a war crime, they can still say that the culprit has not been identified, but they cannot simply refuse to recognize the fact of a war crime, because there is a fact.
    PiSi: but they are no strangers, in fact, it was a war crime to block the population in Mariupol, with a refusal to provide them with information about humanitarian corridors. By the way, it follows from the same definition of the concept of "humanitarian catastrophe"
    The point is, AFTER the end of this conflict, it is the leaders of the UN that have a non-illusory chance to sit down for war crimes - all of a sudden. Well, of course, it is unrealistic, but there are all the grounds for accusation and their evidence, for example, this fact of denial, which aggravates the humanitarian catastrophe - that is, they are accomplices

    Too much propaganda and hasty claims without any evidence from either side. From the almost obvious - the destruction of the dam occurred as a result of the actions of the Kyiv regime. But what these actions were and, most importantly, when they were committed is a very big question.

    One of the most sensible of the voiced versions is that as a result of repeated shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the lack of maintenance, by June the fatigue of the structure had almost reached its limit and the catastrophe became inevitable. Either as a result of a further rise in the water level (which was continuously growing) or as a result of an attempt to dump it. This information was brought to the attention of the country's leadership and On May 30, the Government of the Russian Federation introduces a moratorium on the investigation of accidents at hydraulic structures as a result of hostilities, sabotage and terrorist acts in the territories of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. The only infrastructure facility that was banned from conducting investigations in case of disasters. Only after this decision, on June 1, the discharge of water from the dam begins - the question of the consequences and responsibility for the fate of the dam was de jure removed. On June 5, no later than 2:35 am, the dam is destroyed. At the same time, any additional push in the form of another shelling or undermining might not be required. There are examples of the destruction of hydraulic structures after shelling, but already in a calm environment, in history.

    And then we see uncertainty and confusion in the testimony among officials. And even the GDP called the incident a terrorist attack. This is with his literacy. What happened is either the result of shelling or sabotage, but not a terrorist attack.

      And correctly named. The purpose of this action is civilian infrastructure and the civilian population. The shelling of civilians, civilian infrastructure is officially called "terror of civilians", for example, the purpose of the well-known Douai doctrine, which was used and is being used by the United States with WWII in the destruction of cities, is precisely the terror of civilians. Cities were bombed for this very purpose, and not for the mythical purpose of destroying military targets with the help of carpet bombing. The shelling of the dam had the same purpose as its destruction, this is precisely a terrorist attack

    In a word, if Ukraine blew it up, this is not a war crime and nothing terrible. If Russia is a flagrant war crime, genocide, pure barbarism. Amazing!

    And how did mankind live before the invention of dams? It was not the beavers who built the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. It seems that nature does not provide for this. Then what is the disaster?

    Well, I say: Prigozhin should be sent to the UN to prevent dementia among "partners". And, in general, it's time to announce to these holy fools that we are considering the question "of the advisability of further work of this organization and the creation of new international institutions designed to replace the UN and the IAEA, the OPCW due to their complete uselessness and incapacity." It's time to create your own international organizations, and with these to cut off all diplomatic contacts and negotiations on security - let them sniff the earth, let them get used little by little.
