"Such deliberate destruction by the Russian occupiers and other structures of the hydroelectric power station is an environmental bomb of mass destruction," Zelenskyy said in his new video address. He said the destruction of the dam would"not stop Ukraine and Ukrainians. We will still liberate all our land.
"Only the complete liberation of Ukrainian land from the Russian occupiers will guarantee that there will be mo more such terrorist attacks." In his remarks, Zelenskyy also said Ukrainian prosecutors had already approached prosecutors at the International Criminal Court in The Hague"to involve international justice in the investigation of the destruction of the dam".The United States is"not certain" who is to blame for a burst dam in Ukraine, but it would not make sense for Ukraine to have done this to its own people and territory, Deputy US Ambassador to the United Nations, Robert Wood, told reporters.
