Eight cruise missiles were fired at Kryvyi Rih on Wednesday, the biggest city in central Ukraine with a pre-war estimated population of 650,000, according to officials.
According to Ukrainian officials, this move has flooded several parts of the region and has caused severe loss of property and havoc. Many citizens from specific parts have been evacuated. More information about the situation in the Russian-targeted city of Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine has been made public by Ukrainian authorities. According to a Telegram post by Kyrylo Timoshenko, the dam was losing about 100 cubic meters of water each second. His telegram post read, “This is a sizable volume. ” According to reports, more than 100 houses were flooded when missile hit dam . Eleven people had to be saved. Luckily there were no reported deaths. He continued, explaining how the river level increased after the dam was damaged. He also informed how the evacuation took place. He said that as a result of the breach, the Inhulets River’s water level increased from 100 cm to 190 cm and that it was necessary to blow up some of the hydraulic structures downstream in order to decrease it. The river’s water level has already dropped by 40 cm after what he called “the grueling effort of this long night,” a fact that was also observed by Valentyn Reznichenko, the head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration. “Thank you to everybody who worked through the night and are still working right now, including the rescuers, emergency services, and everyone else. You all performed an outstanding job”, Reznichenko stated. The assault was denounced by Mr. Zelensky in his nightly address. He added in Russian that Russia was targeting “things that have absolutely no military value.” “You are launching a war on civilians, you weaklings.”
In response to recent battlefield setbacks in the northeast, when a quick-moving offensive recaptured a swath of land outside the nation’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of targeting civilian facilities. Russian soldiers cut off the city’s electricity earlier this week, but it has already been restored. Russians may have deliberately targeted the dam to raise the river’s level and thwart Ukraine’s southern counteroffensive. The majority of the Ukrainian army are separated from their Russian counterparts by the Inhulets. Floods are not the only thing that shook Ukraine in the past 2 days, another incident has raised questions of conspiracy throughout the nation. According to Serhii Nykyforov, the president of Ukraine’s press secretary, “a automobile collided with the car of the President of Ukraine and escort vehicles” yesterday night. he assured that the causes will be investigated. on the other hand, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited Kyiv on Thursday to discuss how to progress Ukraine’s membership bid to join the European Union. She said that she would speak with President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal to discuss how to move Ukraine’s membership application along. “Ukraine is now a contender,” she stated.
Previously this month, Russia faced a smashing reversal with the Ukrainian forces launching an offensive taking back most of the Kharkiv region in the northeastern area and also proceeded south. The Ukrainian forces declared that they had seized almost 8000 sq. kilometers of the territory. The withdraw of the Russian troops throughout this event had given a feeling of hope to all the Ukrainian citizens to hold onto their freedom and fight back. On the other hand, Russia is not a country who will sit quiet through this process. Russia also declared their capture of many Ukrainian soldiers in the Kherson and Zaporizhian region. The leaders of the two nations Russia and China are on the other hand all set to meet to discuss the Ukraine issue which as Kremlin declared would be of “significant importance”.
When the conflict first broke out, Vladimir Putin’s chief representative for Ukraine informed the Russian leader that he had reached a provisional agreement with Kiev that would satisfy Moscow’s demand that Ukraine not join NATO but was rejected. Will this be the beginning of a new world crisis or will the two countries will keep engaging in small discontinuing acts of aggression posing a danger on the geopolitical tension around the world.
