Two Approaches

Some of the areas flooded because of the Nova Kahovka dam destruction are held by Ukraine. Others are held by Russia. The areas controlled by Ukraine evacuated quickly and efficiently. There have been no casualties.

In the areas controlled by Russia, residents are forcibly prevented from evacuating. The Russian occupation authorities are denying that anything happened. They insist that the dam is perfectly fine and there is no flooding.

There are currently hundreds of civilians on the rooftops, trying not to drown. The Russian occupiers have confiscated all the boats, preventing people from trying to leave. Many people might not survive the night as a result.

The world keeps watching as it watched every preceding Russian atrocity.
