Mustafa Nayem, head of Ukraine’s State Department of Rehabilitation and Infrastructure Development, said it would cost the country more than $365 million to build water pipelines to areas damaged by the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station. This was reported by the publication “Economic Fact”.
“The main water pipelines of the regions affected by the explosion at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station will cost at least 13.5 billion hryvnia (365.5 million dollars. – Gazeta.ru),” Nayem said.
Volodymyr Saldo, Former Acting Governor of Kherson District declarationThe restoration of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station after the collapse of the dam will take more time. In the Kherson region, on the night of June 6, the upper part of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in the New Kakhovka region was destroyed. The cities of Kherson, Novaya Kakhovka, Naked Pier and Alyoshka were heavily flooded. Some settlements were almost completely submerged and its level rose by 12 meters.
Russia and Ukraine blamed each other when the dam collapses. The exact cause of the crash has yet to be determined. The version that the old damage to the hydroelectric power plant caused the collapse is also being evaluated.
In July, UN Secretary-General’s Assistant for Political Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo reported at a meeting of the Security Council that the flooding caused by the collapse of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant has exacerbated instability at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).
