Day 472, June 10, 2023: the Kakhovka dam blast
The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, stated that evidence suggests Russia is responsible for the explosion that destroyed the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine. US spy satellites detected an explosion at the dam prior to its collapse, confirming the event. Ukraine’s security service intercepted a phone call among Russian military personnel discussing the dam’s destruction by a sabotage team from Russia. The flooding caused by the dam’s collapse has led to evacuations and casualties, with ongoing efforts to assess the environmental damage. Japan has pledged $5 million in emergency humanitarian aid, while Swedish activist Greta Thunberg accused Russia of ecocide. Russia, on the other hand, accused Ukrainian forces of shelling and blamed Ukraine for the dam’s sabotage. Regardless of the blame, the destruction of critical infrastructure like dams has a long history of inflicting pain and devastation during times of war.
