Archaeologists will explore the bottom of the partially drained Kakhovka Reservoir

This was announced by the Minister of Culture and Information Policy, Oleksandr Tkachenko, during a nationwide telethon.

“The relevant work has started in the Khortytsia reserve. We are currently assembling a group of archaeologists with the help of the Institute of Archaeology, which will officially begin the work of researching the places where the water receded”, said Tkachenko.

According to the minister, the cultural heritage of the reserve is threatened by landmines, shelling, and “black” archaeologists.

Tkachenko noted that the police and all governors have been informed about the danger posed by “black archaeologists.” He warned treasure hunters about criminal liability and added that searching for treasures can be physically dangerous as they might come across a landmine.

As we reported, on the night of June 6, the Russian army blew up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam. The Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant has been completely destroyed and is not subject to restoration.
