Rishi Sunak wants to discuss aid to Ukraine with US President Joe Biden in a meeting at the White House today, June 7.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said it was too early to draw final conclusions about the causes of the collapse of the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine. On Wednesday, June 7, wrote Sky News.
In particular, the politician emphasized that the British intelligence services are establishing all the details about the destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and they need to know who is really behind the explosion of the dam.
“If it can be proven that this was intentional, then this is, in my opinion, the biggest attack on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine since the beginning of the war and will show a new level of Russian aggression,” Sunak told press during a briefing.
According to him, attacks on civilian infrastructure are terrible and wrong.
“We have seen similar cases in this war, but it is too early to say anything for sure,” he added.
It will be remembered that Russian soldiers blew up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station last night, June 6. As a result of the incident, about 80 settlements in the Kherson region on both banks of the Dnieper are under the threat of flooding.
The head of the Kherson OVA, Alexander Prokudin, said that about 16,000 people are in the critical flood zone on the right bank of the Kherson region.
The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine believes that in this way the Russians tried to stop the Ukrainian counter-offensive.
Recall that on the night of June 6, the Russians blew up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.
At 19:30, on the right bank of the Kherson region, 1,335 houses were flooded from the enemy’s explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. On the left bank, Korsunka and Dnepryan were completely flooded, and Sandy, Staraya Zburyevka, Cossack Camps, Kardashinka, Krynki, Naked Pier and Oleshki were partially flooded.
