"Shocked by the unprecedented attack of the Nova Kakhovka dam" — President of the European Council

Charles Michel responded to the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP dam: "The destruction of civilian infrastructure clearly qualifies as a war crime — and we will hold Russia and its proxies accountable."

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also responded to the Kakhovka HPP explosion: "The destruction of the Kakhovka dam today puts thousands of civilians at risk and causes severe environmental damage. This is an outrageous act, which demonstrates once again the brutality of Russia’s war in Ukraine."

The UN also mentioned the explosion of the Kakhovka HPP.

"The destruction of the Kakhovka Dam puts thousands of civilians in danger, leaving many with no homes and in dire humanitarian need. Civilians and civilian infrastructure are not a target!" the organisation's press service wrote.

Moreover, on June 6, the day of the Kakhovka HPP explosion, the UN congratulated everyone with Russian Language Day.
