Zelensky: We are doing everything to provide water to those who received it from Kakhovka Reservoir.

The authorities at all levels are doing the best they can to save people and provide drinking water to those who received it from the Kakhovka Reservoir.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in a daily address to his compatriots, Ukrinform reports.

"The government at all levels is doing everything to save people and provide drinking water to those who received it from the Kakhovka reservoir. Kryvyi Rih and the entire Dnipropetrovsk region, cities and villages in Kherson, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia regions – no matter how difficult it is, we have to help people," he said.

The head of state thanked all the rescuers, military, representatives of local communities and each of the regions that are now helping people from Ukraine's southern regions flooded by the Russian terrorist attack.

"I am grateful to everyone who is currently evacuating people from the towns and villages flooded by water from the Kakhovka reservoir. It is very important now to take care of each other and help as much as possible," Zelensky added.

In the early hours of June 6, Russian troops blew up the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant. Ukraine's state hydroelectric company said the plant had been totally destroyed and could not be restored after a detonation inside the engine room.

Ihor Syrota, general director at PJSC Ukrhydroenergo, said the North Crimea Canal would remain without water following the explosion at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant.
