Quote: “There has been a terrorist attack at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant. All services are now fully prepared and we are working in close cooperation with our counterparts from Kherson and the government, with everyone.

This means that we are now prepared for outcomes that are worse than they will be. We are prepared to perform all tasks; all points are deployed; buses, routes – everything is worked out.”

Details: He said the occupiers, unlike Ukrainians, were not prepared for the consequences of the blowing up of the Kakhovka HPP. “They are in a panic – they’re leaving, abandoning everything and so on,” he said.

Kim added that the consequences of the Russian terrorist attack would be firstly, a lack of water in occupied Crimea, and secondly, the situation on the left bank of the Dnipro River would worsen. “All actions are being taken on our part. We are prepared,” he stressed.
