Created by Russian catastrophe terrorists on Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station will not stop Ukraine and Ukrainians - President Vladimir Zelensky's address

Dear Ukrainians and Ukrainians! This day, which began with an urgent meeting of the NSDC, continued with the rate meeting. We are waiting for a meeting of the UN Security Council. Created by Russian terrorists of a catastrophe at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station will not stop Ukraine and Ukrainians. We will still release all our land.

And every Russian terrorist attack increases only the amount of reparations that Russia will pay for the crimes committed, not the chances of the occupiers to stay on our land. First, I am grateful to all our rescuers, military, representatives of local communities, each of our region, who now help people from our southern areas flooded as a result of the Russian terrorist attack.

Second, the authorities at all levels do everything to save people and provide drinking water for those who received it from the Kakhovka reservoir. Kryvyi Rih and all Dnipropetrovsk, cities and villages of Kherson region, Mykolaiv region, Zaporizhzhia - at least it was difficult, we have to help people. Third: I am grateful to anyone who now conducts and helps with the evacuation of people from cities and villages that flooded with water from the Kakhovka reservoir.

It is very important now - to take care of each other and to the maximum to help. Fourth: the whole world will know about this Russian crime of war, an ecocid crime. Such a conscious destruction of the Russian dams and other structures of hydroelectric power plants is an ecological bomb of mass destruction. For the sake of its own security, the world should now show that Russia will not come from the hands of such terror.

And I am grateful to all leaders and states, all peoples and international organizations that supported Ukraine and ready to help our people, our de -occupying steps. The Prosecutor General has already contacted the International Criminal Court prosecutor's office to involve international justice in investigating the dam. He spoke today with the director of the Grossi IAEA, in particular, what happened to the Kakhovka reservoir, the general situation with the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power station.

He called on the IAEA director directly and unambiguously to condemn the Russian terrorist attack today and to maximize our efforts to release the NPP. They agreed on his visit to Ukraine. Fifth: only the complete liberation of Ukrainian land from Russian invaders will guarantee that there will be no more than such terrorist attacks. Russia uses anything for terror-any objects. The terrorist state must lose. I want to say a few more things separately. As for our South and Crimea.

We will find a way to restore a normal life on our earth after the expulsion of the racists. This applies to both water and everything else. This applies to all our regions - from Kherson to the Dnieper, from Mykolaiv to the Crimea. The fact that Russia deliberately destroyed the Kakhovka reservoir, which is critically important, in particular, to provide water to Crimea, that the Russian invaders have already realized that they would have to escape from Crimea. Well, Ukraine will return all its.
