Zelensky said he was shocked by the reaction of the UN and the Red Cross to the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovka HPP. Major international organizations, he said, either did not respond to the request for help, or it was in fact a refusal “in diplomatic language”. “What is happening now is a tragedy. An ecological and a human catastrophe,” Zelensky said.

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 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. @IUCN @ConservationOrg @nature_org @FoEint @earthwatch_org @TheWSC @SierraClub @EnvDefenseFund @NRDC @globalwild_cc @WorldResources @conservationall @CenterForBioDiv @ifawglobal @earthjustice @UCSUSA @savingoceans @earthisland @intlrivers @oceana @FaunaFloraInt @EIA_News @theGEF @wspa @UNESCO The world and our planet will face catastrophic consequences if you choose inaction!
