European Council President Charles Michel said on Tuesday that he is "shocked by the unprecedented attack" on the Kakhovka dam. He reiterated that the destruction of civilian infrastructure qualifies as a war crime and that Russia "and its proxies" will be held accountable.
Earlier, Ukrainian authorities said the dam on the Dnieper was destroyed in a Russian attack together with the associated hydroelectric power plant. Michel added he will raise the issue at the next European Council meeting and propose more assistance to the flooded areas.
