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!

Russia blew up Kakhovska HPP that is on the Dnipro River. This is an act of terrorism and a global threat, the consequences of these actions could be colossal and unpredictable.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

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.
