European Union will send generators, pumps, and water filters to Ukraine's flooded Kherson region
To eliminate the consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station in the southern Kherson region, Ukraine appealed to the European Union for help.
The European Commission press service announced this, the European Pravda reports.
"The EU Emergency Response Coordination Center is in direct contact with the Ukrainian emergency services to monitor the exact needs on the ground and is ready to coordinate further assistance to Ukraine based on emerging needs," the statement emphasized.
The European Union used the Civil Protection Mechanism to assist Ukraine. By this time, Germany, Austria, and Lithuania had already made the first contributions.
Germany offered 5,000 water filters and 56 generators, and Austria wants to hand over 20 water tanks and ten drilling pumps already on their way to Ukraine. Germany and Lithuania also offered tents, beds, and blankets.
US President Joe Biden previously expressed his firm readiness to provide the necessary assistance to Ukraine after the Russians blew up the Kakhovka HPP dam.
What we know about the Kakhovka dam destruction by Russian forces
As Rubryka reported, on the night of June 6, Russian invaders blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, located a few kilometers from the temporarily occupied city of Nova Kakhovka, Kherson region.
As a result of the dam's destruction, the water in the Kakhovka reservoir began to fall rapidly, threatening to flood.
Yesterday, June 6, it became known that 24 settlements have already been flooded, and water will continue to arrive during the day.
Residents continue to save themselves from the high water in Kherson and take out their stores, and residents of coastal communities leave their already flooded houses.
As we reported, the Russian occupying forces blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, and the HPP cannot be restored.
