Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that allegations of the involvement of the Russian forces in the situation around the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station are contrary to common sense. It is reported by TASS.

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that on the night of June 6, Kyiv blew up the constructions of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which led to the flooding of the territories.

On the night of June 6, in the Kherson region, the upper part of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was destroyed near Novaya Kakhovka. Dozens of settlements, including Kherson and New Kakhovka, began to be flooded with water.

Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of destroying the dam. There is also a version that the accident occurred due to "old damage".

The news is being added.
