Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tweeted that the destruction of the dam was “absolutely deliberate” as he blamed Russian forces and further accused Russia of not acting to help those living in areas under Russian control now dealing with the effects of flooding. Zelenskyy said Wednesday hundreds of thousands of people were “without normal access to drinking water” a day after the rupture of the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine. "The dam's structure is likely to deteriorate further over the next few days, causing additional flooding," Britain's defense ministry said in its daily assessment Wednesday. 📷: AP
