"As far as I know, the footage was there.
It was some annoying mistake, simply a human factor. But a large number of people will be fired," said Matiash. On 6 June, Russian invaders blew up the dam of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, killing hundreds of animals and at least five people.
Recently, the Russian military shelled the Ostriv microdistrict in the city of Kherson, from where people were evacuating - two law enforcement officers became casualties.
