#Ukraine's security service singles out Russian colonel-general Oleg #Makarevich as responsible for the dam collapse in #Kherson last summer.
According to the case file, this military commander gave the order to blow up the dam of the #Kakhovka hydroelectric power station on the night of June 5-6, 2023.

The #Kakhovka Dam
russian occupation authorities vastly and deliberately under counted the dead in one of the most devastating chapters of the 22-month war.
They took control of the issuance of death certificates, immediately removing bodies not claimed by family, and preventing local health workers and volunteers from dealing with the dead, threatening them when they defied orders.

This is the #Kakhovka Reservoir where nature is claiming the parts once underwater.
Very interesting perspective on the front line in #Ukraine visible from space:
"This is a green part that has become overgrown with vegetation, because they stopped cultivating the fields and doing agriculture there. The photo also shows what happened to the #Kakhovka Reservoir.

In #NovaKakhovka, Kherson Reg, the russian occupiers mercilessly evict all locals living along the banks of the #Dnipro from their homes, along with their children, onto the street. Homes of #Ukrainian civilians are being occupied by military units of RFA. Previously, in Nova Kakhovka and #Kakhovka, the russians turned off mobile communications and internet connections. This way, they are trying to make it impossible to record and publicize the crimes of russian troops #Intelligence

Russian military blew up the #Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam in #Kherson Oblast
Illustration on the theme of Kherson.
"If it can be proved that #Russia caused the collapse of the #Kakhovka dam in #Ukraine this month, it will be liable to prosecution — under both the Ukrainian criminal code, which prohibits ecocide, and under the environmental war crimes provisions of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The flooding has caused the most catastrophic environmental damage in #war since Iraq lit oil fires as its forces fled Kuwait."
