As a result of the fact that the Russians blew up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, the Kherson region lost 92% of its irrigation systems.

The partial restoration of agricultural land in the affected areas after the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station cost 4.5 billion euros. This was announced on Tuesday, June 13, at a briefing at the Ukraine-Odessa Media Center, said Director General of the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation Pavlo Koval.

According to him, the restoration of each hectare costs 2-3 thousand euros.

“In the Kherson region alone, 550-600 thousand hectares of irrigated land have been lost. If we add Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions, this number will increase to 1.5 million hectares. That is, if it is necessary to restore the dam , pumping stations, water intake and network for drip irrigation , it will cost hundreds of millions of euros – about 4.5 billion euros,” said Koval.

He added that due to the terrorist attack, the Kherson region, which is one of the five leading regions of Ukraine in terms of agricultural land, lost 92% of its irrigation systems, which means hundreds of farm

“Zaporozhye region lost 70% of systems, in the south of Dnipropetrovsk region and Mykolaiv region – up to 30% of water resources and irrigation systems,” said the expert.

He also pointed out that without proper operation of the irrigation systems in the south of the country, it is useless to expect a good harvest.

“Before the terrorist attack, the area of ​​agricultural land in the Kherson region was about 2 million hectares, 85% of which was arable land, which constantly needs irrigation,” he said.

Koval noted that Ukrainians will soon feel a shortage of vegetables and melons, the lion’s share of which is grown in the Kherson region.

The restoration of the Kakhovskaya HPP requires about 1 billion euros, and about the same amount for related work. Prime Minister Denis Shmihal spoke about it.
