The European Commission strongly condemns the sabotage of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station in southern Ukraine by Russian occupying forces.
“The EU firmly condemns this horrific and barbaric attack on this key infrastructure object with devastating humanitarian and environmental consequences. It is evident that this is taking place in the context of Russia’s illegal aggression, in which Putin hesitates not to use hunger, energy, winter, and nuclear power plants as weapons against Ukraine,” said Peter Stano, spokesperson for the EU’s Foreign Policy Service.
According to him, the sabotage of the power station is a sign of a new escalation of the situation in Ukraine.
“This is evidence of the horrific and barbaric nature of Russian aggression against Ukraine reaching an unprecedented level,” emphasized Stano.
On the morning of 6 June, Ukraine’s Operational Command Pivden (South) reported that the Russian occupation forces had blown up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP), with Kherson Oblast Military Administration confirming this information. Oleksandr Prokudin, Head of Kherson Oblast Military Administration, noted that they had started the evacuation of the local population from dangerous areas.
Dmytro Kuleba, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, has expressed his indignation at certain Western media outlets hinting at Ukraine’s possible responsibility for blowing up the Khakhovka HPP.
The Foreign Minister of the Czech Republic, Jan Lipavský, accused Russia of sabotaging the Kakhovka dam and stated that the consequences could be compared to the use of weapons of mass destruction.
These warm words are nice, but they have never helped to stop aggression or crimes being committed by the crime syndicate, and this, not a single time since 2014. For every criminal act by mafia land, the collective West should instead, or concurrently, provide Ukraine with a sufficient number of decisive weapons and smashing sanctions. This would at least make the cockroaches think twice before acting in a criminal manner.

This is a WMD attack without any doubt.
There has to be a response of equal magnitude. Genocide, child murder, child kidnap, child rape, destruction of entire cities and now this.
The response should be :
Instant Nato membership (or equal security guarantees) for Ukraine.
The total isolation of Russia from the democratic world: ie the end of all travel, trade and diplomatic links.
The criminalisation of the entire Russian banking system.
Seizing of all Russian property, cash and business assets in the civilized world.
100% tax on the Russian profits of all western companies trading in Russia; retrospective: going back to 2014.
I agree to everything you’re saying. But, honestly, what will the response be? I’m afraid it’ll be the usual gust of warm air.
Next one will be real nucleair…………………..
“The townspeople are sitting on the roofs of houses and waiting to be rescued. The occupiers do not organize evacuation, people are left alone with the disaster,” Kuleba said.
In his opinion, this is a Russian crime “against people, nature and life itself.”
