The International Criminal Court has begun investigating the sabotage of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam. Recently, representatives of the ICC visited the right bank of the flooded areas in Kherson Oblast,
This was reported by President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“On the first day after the catastrophe, the Prosecutor General sent a relevant appeal to the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court regarding the investigation of this disaster, and the work has already begun. It is crucial that representatives of international justice have witnessed the consequences of this Russian act of terrorism with their own eyes and heard for themselves that Russian terror continues. It continues with the most cynical and cruel shelling of the flooded territory and evacuation area”, the President stated in a video address.
Zelensky assured that Ukraine is already assisting and will continue to support a maximally independent and objective investigation by the International Criminal Court.
“All our law enforcement agencies and other institutions are fully involved in this process. Full access to the affected territories, witnesses, all information, and evidence. This investigation is crucial for the security of the entire world”, emphasized Zelensky.
Recall that on the night of June 6, the Russians detonated the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station. As a result, massive flooding occurred in cities and villages in the Kherson region, including the regional center – the city of Kherson. Evacuation is underway in the flooded areas. The scale of the consequences of this crime committed by the Russian occupiers is difficult to assess at the moment.
