Head of European diplomacy calls on Russia to stop shelling flooded Kherson Oblast

Josep Borrell, the head of European diplomacy, has called on Russia to stop its bombardment, as this is threatening the rescue of people in areas flooded after the explosion of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP). Source: European Pravda; Borrell on Twitter "Reports of shelling jeopardising rescue efforts of innocent civilians in Kherson region after the destruction of Kakhovka dam.

We call on Russia to cease these unacceptable actions immediately. This may constitute yet another war crime. All responsible will be held to account," Borrell wrote on Twitter.
