The International Criminal Court is investigating the dam collapse in Ukraine.

"Representatives of the International Criminal Court have visited the Kherson region in recent days," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

"On the very first day after the dam collapse, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office sent a request to the International Criminal Court to open an investigation into the disaster. The work has begun," Zelensky added.

According to President Zelensky, approximately 4,000 residents have been evacuated by Ukrainian rescue teams.

Ukrainian leaders described the collapse of the Nova Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine on June 6 as an "environmental bomb," emphasizing that only the liberation of Ukraine could guarantee protection against new acts of "terrorism."

The Kakhovka hydroelectric dam on the Dnipro River, in the Russian-controlled Kherson province, was partially destroyed on June 6, causing a massive flood downstream. Ukraine accused Russia of blowing up the Kakhovka dam, while the Kremlin claimed Ukraine was responsible for its destruction.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the attack on the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant as a deliberate act of sabotage by Ukraine. He added that the Kiev authorities bear full responsibility for the consequences.

On June 7, commenting on the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine and Western countries of escalating the conflict by destroying the dam. The Russian leader described the incident as a " barbaric act."

For its part, Ukraine insists its forces could not have blown up the dam because the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant is under Russian control. Officials in Kyiv also stressed that none of the missiles they used could have caused such extensive damage, especially since the Soviet-era dam was designed to withstand a nuclear attack.
