TL;DR Summary

The collapse of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine has caused a fast-moving disaster that is turning into a long-term ecological catastrophe. The destruction of the dam has affected drinking water, food supplies, and ecosystems reaching into the Black Sea. The short-term dangers can be seen from outer space, with tens of thousands of parcels of land flooded, and more to come. Experts say the long-term consequences will be generational, affecting flora and fauna populations for a decade or more. The dam's collapse has also uprooted landmines, torn through caches of weapons and ammunition, and carried 150 tons of machine oil to the Black Sea.
