The criminal actions of russia on following points:
The violation of provision of Article 3. 35 of Chapter I, Part III of the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions of August 12, 1949, Concerning the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts Regarding the Prohibition of Methods or Means of Conduct of Military Actions Which Are Intended to Cause or Can Be Expected to Cause Widespread, Long-Term, and Serious Damage natural environment.
Such barbaric actions of the Russian Federation violate the basic principles and ideas that the civilized world developed for decades and enshrined in a number of international agreements, for example, in such as the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, Mainly as a Habitat for Waterfowl and the Convention on protection of wild flora and fauna and natural habitats in Europe. Such actions of the enemy once again demonstrate to the world community the absolute leveling of the Russian Federation against international norms, standards and rules.
Such criminal actions of the Russian military definitely and completely fall under the criminal law qualification under Art. 8 (2) (b) (iv) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
The consequences are:
- The impossibility of taking water necessary for cooling the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which outcomes as a threat to the nuclear safety of the world;
- A mass death of aquatic organisms (fish, molluscs, crustaceans, microorganisms, aquatic vegetation) with further disturbance of their habitat, including birds and other amphibians and animals;
- Significant risks for rodent populations, in particular endemic species and those listed in the Red Book of Ukraine;
- Disturbance of the habitats of plant complexes;
- Negative impact on water areas, coastal areas and the land part of three Ukrainian national nature parks - "Nizhnyodniprovskyi", "Kamyanska Sichi", "Biloberezhya Svyatoslav", Black Sea Biosphere Reserve (this territory also has the status of a UNESCO biosphere reserve), Regional landscape park "Kinburnska Kosa" and numerous objects of the nature reserve fund with smaller areas. All these territories also have the status of Wetlands of international importance, protected in accordance with the Ramsar Convention, and are also territories of the Emerald Network, protected in accordance with the Berne Convention;
- The pollution of the waters of the Dnipro and the Black Sea - primary pollution due to the ingress of fuel and lubricant materials into the waters, washing away of garbage, agrochemicals, other dangerous materials, flooding and failure of sewage treatment systems, sewage, and so-called "secondary pollution"
- A leaching, transfer of mines and other explosive substances, increase in mine danger;
These are only few major aftermath to come.
❗️The undermining of the Kakhovska HPP dam is not only one of the biggest ecological and humanitarian disasters in the east of Europe that led to the flooding of vast territories and many settlements, but is in fact the biggest crime against food security in the world.
The Kakhov reservoir was the heart of one of the largest irrigation systems in Europe. It was the southern regions of Ukraine that supplied the countries of the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe with wheat, corn, sunflower and sunflower oil, soybeans and soybean meal.
We call on everyone who cares about the fate of our planet and the environment, who declares their status as environmentalists and defines nature protection activities as their goals — to take all possible measures in order to record these violations, bring the culprits to justice, and make it impossible to commit such barbarism in the future.

The world and our planet will face catastrophic consequences if you choose inaction!
Russian terrorists. The destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam only confirms for the whole world that they must be expelled from every corner of Ukrainian land. Not a single meter should be left to them, because they use every meter for terror. It’s only Ukraine's victory that will return security. And this victory will come. The terrorists will not be able to stop Ukraine with water, missiles or anything else.
All services are working. I have convened the National Security and Defense Council. Please spread official and verified information only.
Russia blew up Kakhovskaya HPP that is on the Dnieper River. This is an act of terrorism and a global threat, the consequences of these actions could be colossal and unpredictable.
These people were having a regular weekend in their homes, despite everyday war, families and children thought they were safe. They wanted to feel safe. But you are never safe with a terrorist neighbor. Ukraine needs weapons. To fight, to defend. To avoid such horrible deaths.
A little Ukrainian girl gathering debris from the ruined building in Dnipro after today’s russian missile attack. A lot of other people are helping the rescuers. Russia will not win over this nation.
Few minutes ago, a Russian missile has demolished an apartment block in Dnipro.
At least one entrance was destroyed. There are people under the rubble of the apartment block now.
This is not really about the dates or holidays. The underlying message is the typical chauvinism of imperialist Russian thugs: portraying Ukrainians as "barbarians" they're trying to conquer, Russian invaders declare that only THEIR holidays matter.

@max_katz Вот странно, да? Украинцев такими расписывали просто так. �� сейчас украинцы про русских так говорят и думают потому, что РУССКИЕ УБИВАЮТ УКРАИНЦЕВ! Вообще одно м то же, да? Вы — либералы ничем не отличаетесь от в ей остальной массы россиян. Просто формулируете мысли качественнее.
