Kyjev 6. júna (Financeflashnews) – Ukrainian energy company Ukrhydroenergo has filed an international lawsuit against Russia seeking to recover damages for the destruction of the Kakhovka dam and power plant by Russian forces in June 2023. The damages are estimated at €2.5 billion.

The Kakhovka dam, one of six dams on the Dnipro River, came under Russian control following the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. A year later, on June 6, 2023, it was destroyed by Russian explosives. This led to widespread flooding that affected fertile land, left tens of thousands of people without access to drinking water, and also endangered the cooling of reactors at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.

The goal of this step is to obtain compensation for the damage caused by the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant,” Ukrhydroenergo said in a press release. According to the company, international arbitration is the most appropriate way to achieve this goal.

The destruction of the Kakhovka dam has been condemned by the international community as a war crime. In addition to extensive material damage, this act also had serious humanitarian and environmental consequences.
