LIVE: Flooding devastates Ukrainian city Kherson after dam was destroyed

FOOTAGE released by Ukraine’s emergency services on Tuesday shows rescue workers motor-boating through a flooded residential neighborhood in the Kherson region.

The area was inundated after a massive dam holding back a reservoir was destroyed, sending a deluge downstream into a war zone and forcing villagers to flee.

These rescuers appear to lift an elderly resident from their home in a rug.

Drone footage from a Russian news agency shows what’s left of the Soviet-era Nova Kakhovka dam.

Russia has controlled the dam since early in its 15-month-old invasion.

Ukraine accused Russia of blowing it up, calling the act a deliberate war crime.

  1. People are waking up to this nonsense now. The love affair with Zelensky is over. Nobody believes you or him. End this bad movie now..

  2. A live stream of some chubby Ukrainians trying to get a boat motor to work. I need to be a better steward of my own time… sheesh.

  3. This damages the Russians more than Ukraine, it was clearly another terrorist act from NATO backed Ukraine. They had even had practise drills in the past firing rockets at it.

  4. Zalenski destroyed the dam not Putin. Zalenski is so desperate to cause WW111, he'll do anything to murder his own people and blame it on Russia.

  5. The sane world knos its Ukraine , CIA , mi5 that’s all been involved in this sabotage terrorist attack anyone who doesn’t see this are just conspiracy theorists , they done the same with the pipe line , Al to involve more country’s in this proxy war on Russia

  6. Apparently, all the zoo animals died, except the water fowl! So saddening! Animal charities need donations to help animals, and some owners! Please donate to IFAW and PETA! Thanks!

  7. This is Eco-terrorism of the first order. As soon as conditions allow, a full and independant investigation must be undertaken and those deemed responsible prosecuted to the fullest extent of international law.
