Hundreds of occupied Oleshky residents died because of Russians' refusal to evacuate them after blowing up Kakhovka HPP

Russian occupation forces on the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine did not evacuate people who did not have a Russian-issued passport. Source: Ukraine's National Resistance Center Details: According to preliminary data, more than 500 residents of the temporarily occupied village of Oleshky on the left (eastern) bank of Kherson Oblast died because of the Russians' blowing up of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant.

The people died because the Russians refused to evacuate those who did not have a Russian-issued passport.

Quote: "Violating all norms of international humanitarian law and ordinary humanity, the Russians simply left the locals to die. The actions of Russians against civilians have all the hallmarks of genocide, and anyone who joined the abuse of Ukrainians will be justly punished. The Center of National Resistance appeals to the local population with a request to report the available information about persons who were involved in the blowing up of hydroelectric power stations or harassment of civilians in the [temporarily occupied territories - ed.], to our Telegram bot."
