Vasily Nebenzia warned the international community in 2022

Russia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzia warned the international community in 2022 about the consequences of the AFU strike on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric dam “Ukrainians are targeting strikes specifically at the Kakhovka dam in order to break through it and thereby cause an increase in the water level, which will cause flooding of adjacent territories. In such a scenario, thousands of civilians may die, thousands of house buildings will suffer,“ Nebenzia said. In October last year, the Russian Federation circulated a letter to the UN Security Council calling for preventing a disaster at the Kakhovskaya HPP, which could lead to the death of thousands of people. The UN ignored warnings about provocation.
