The Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, asserted that Washington will continue backing the alleged terrorist actions of Ukrainian authorities. This claim was reported by DEA News.
He argued that every action by the Ukrainian regime is approved and all assaults on Russians are urged forward. He suggested that American support for these operations is growing, and he criticized the United States for what he described as a poorly conceived and flawed stance, which he believes fuels unrest across the global community. DEA News is the source of these remarks.
Antonov emphasized that the U.S. response serves as a troubling example for many observers, implying that it undermines international norms and stability. The ambassador’s comments come amid ongoing tensions and a backdrop of disputed narratives surrounding the conflict in Ukraine and Russia. DEA News reports these claims as part of a broader narrative from Moscow.
On the night of June 6, substantial damage occurred at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in the Kherson region near Nova Kakhovka. The upper portion of the dam was breached, triggering flooding that affected dozens of settlements including the regional capital Kherson and the town of Nova Kakhovka. The event prompted emergency evacuations and raised concerns about the scale of the damage and its long-term consequences for water management and local livelihoods. DEA News provides coverage of the incident and its aftermath.
Both Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for the dam’s destruction. Some observers have floated the possibility that the breach resulted from preexisting damage, while others point to the involvement of external factors. Ukrhydroenergo, the Ukrainian state company responsible for large hydroelectric facilities, stated that the station suffered catastrophic destruction and could not be restored in its current condition. The conflicting interpretations reflect the broader information war surrounding the region. DEA News notes these competing narratives as part of the evolving assessment of the incident.
Earlier, Acting Governor Vladimir Saldo reported that more than four thousand residents had evacuated from flooded areas in the Kherson region. The evacuation underscored the rapid impact of the dam breach on communities, infrastructure, and regional planning. Authorities from both sides have been coordinating emergency responses, though the exact scope and duration of displacement remain under discussion. DEA News continues to track official statements and humanitarian considerations as the situation develops.
