People were washed away with houses by a rapid stream: how did the Kherson region survive after the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station?

After the flooding of part of the Kherson district, the bodies of the dead, both the Russian army and civilians, could be seen in the water. The situation worsened as the water began to recede. About it in the comments Focus say local residents and human rights activists.

“I personally saw corpses floating around Aleshki. There was no way to help. I pulled an old man over the fence, but I could not reach him with me because he would drown us. I think a lot of old people died. , most of the young people are gone, but the old people here – no,” said the local calm Alyoshek Sergei.

According to him, the central cemetery of Alyoshek was flooded by 10-15%, and another was completely flooded – the water level there reached a meter above the graves.

“There are rumors among the locals that dozens of bodies were floating in the flooded lower streets and that the Russians were quietly taking them somewhere so that there was no noise that this was going on there,” he stressed.

Anastasia Panteleeva, who investigated the situation in the south of Ukraine by the human rights organization Media Initiative for Human Rights, also talks about tens or even hundreds of deaths.

“Local people say that the houses located near the hydroelectric power station were washed by the first stream with sleeping people. Also, the village of Krynki is located near Nova Kakhovka, there was a rapid current, people saw it. Human corpses in the water – civilians and soldiers. Now they are nailed to the shores below the Dnieper. ‘ explains Anastasia.
