Ukraine's Dam Blast: Environmental and Political Fallout.

The destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine has caused catastrophic flooding, resulting in the death of millions of fish and other animals. A woman who cared for abandoned pets during Russia's occupation of her hometown is now looking after injured animals affected by the flooding. Experts warn that the impact on the region's wildlife could be devastating, and the ecosystems and habitats will be different following the disturbance. The floods will create considerable volumes of solid waste, which will need to be managed in an environmentally sound manner.
