The invaders caused more than 55 billion dollars in damage to the environment

The approximate amount of damage to the environment as a result of the terrorist attack at the Kakhovska HPP reaches 55 billion dollars. 30% of the nature reserve fund of the Kherson Region is under threat of disappearance.

62% of the volume of water (12.24 cubic km) has already flowed out of the Kakhov reservoir. Currently, the water level in the reservoir is 10.55 m and it continues to decrease. This was reported to the Ministry of Environment of Ukraine.

At the same time, about 1,200 hectares of the territory of the Kinburn Peninsula have been flooded due to the explosion of the Kakhovska HPP dam.

“The situation in the national parks is critical. 30% of the nature reserve fund of the Kherson Region is under threat of disappearance. Water from the Kakhovskyi Reservoir leveled with the water mirror of the Nizhnyodniprovskyi National Park. The shallowing of the water area in the national parks “Veliky Lug” (by 4.2 meters) and “Kamyanska Sich” (by 6 meters) continues,” said the Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine Ruslan Strilets.
