The New York Times: Οι κάτοικοι και στις δύο όχθες του ποταμού Dnipro αντιμετωπίζουν καταστροφές μετά την καταστροφή ενός βασικού φράγματος στην Ουκρανία – Οι πλημμύρες βαθαίνουν τη δυστυχία της εμπόλεμης ζώνης της Ουκρανίας

Flooding deepens the misery of Ukraine’s war zone
Flooding along more than 50 miles of the Dnipro River after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine has led to vast devastation in a region ravaged and depopulated by war.
Water supplies have been contaminated, crops have been drowned and thousands of people have been forced out of their ruined homes by the flood. The reservoir that many Ukrainian farmers need to irrigate their fields and that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant uses to cool its radioactive fuel has also been drastically lowered. Here are maps of the flooding.
Local officials on the Russian-controlled riverbank said that almost all of the town of Oleshky was flooded. Residents pleaded for help in an online chat group, searching for missing loved ones and seeking assistance as floodwaters rose. Ukrainian officials charge that Russian forces blew up the dam to hinder a Ukrainian offensive, though little evidence about what happened has emerged so far.
First person: “We were getting used to the shelling, but I’ve never seen a situation like this,” said Larisa Kharchenko, a retired nurse in Kherson, which was occupied by Russian forces for months last year. “It just keeps coming.”
