New videos from the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, filmed in the first minutes of the dam's explosion in June 2023, are being shared online.

This was reported by the Pravda Gerashchenko Telegram channel.

It is known that the Kakhovka HPP was one of the largest Ukrainian energy facilities that was destroyed by Russian terrorists. After the occupation of the Kherson region, the enemy mined the HPP and blew it up on June 6, 2023.

As Ecopolitic previously reported, on the night of June 6, Russian occupants blew up a dam at the Kakhovka HPP. The explosion led to a man-made disaster and an environmental emergency.

Due to the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, the Velykyi Luh and Kamianska Sich national parks in Zaporizhzhia are gradually turning into a desert.

As of June 22, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that, according to preliminary estimates, the environmental damage caused by the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant explosion had reached $1.5 billion.

In July, the first sprouts of plants appeared at the bottom of the Kakhovka reservoir.
