The Kakhovka Dam: Destruction and Controversy in Ukraine

The United Nations accuses Russia of denying access to aid workers who want to help people affected by the devastating destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine. The UN is urging the Russian authorities to act in accordance with their obligations under international humanitarian law. The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the UN aid workers who want to visit areas ravaged by the recent dam collapse can’t go there because fighting in the war makes it unsafe. Ukraine claimed an intercepted phone call between two men talking in Russian proves that a Russian "sabotage group" was behind the destruction of the dam.
