The water area of the Kakhovka Reservoir is contaminated with unexploded ordnance and munitions, including those from the Second World War era - in one day alone, bomb squads made five controlled explosions.
The authorities at all levels are doing the best they can to save people and provide drinking water to those who received it from the Kakhovka Reservoir.
Deputy Prime Minister - Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereshchuk emphasizes that the Russian invaders are deliberately and purposefully draining the Kakhovka Reservoir.
