"Ukraine's Struggle Continues a Year After Dam Destruction"

The destruction of Ukraine's Kakhovka dam by Russian forces in June 2023 caused extensive flooding, environmental damage, and disrupted agriculture and water supplies. The long-term consequences are becoming evident, affecting four regions and leading to debates on reconstruction. While some advocate for restoring the dam and reservoir, others see an opportunity for ecological restoration. The reconstruction faces challenges including high costs and ongoing conflict, with the future of the region's infrastructure and environment remaining uncertain.
