“Russia Needs To Be Held Accountable”: Greta Thunberg On Kakhovka Dam Collapse

Greta Thunberg, a Swedish climate activist, has charged Russia with committing “ecocide” by causing the collapse of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine.

Dam burst caused massive flood

The huge dam that was under Russian authority in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine collapsed, unleashing massive floods that drove thousands of civilians from their homes and caused environmental destruction. Russia and Ukraine both the countries are blaming each other for the havoc caused by the dam burst.

Thunberg called Dam burst ‘ecocide’

“This ecocide as a continuation of Russia’s unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine is yet another atrocity which leaves the world lost for words. Our eyes are once again on Russia who must be held accountable for their crimes,” Thunberg, 20, said on Twitter on Thursday.

What did the Ukrainian President say?

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, responded on Twitter: “Thank you for your position and for upholding the truth @GretaThunberg! (Russia) must be held accountable for all its evil against people, life and nature!”.

Russia needs to be held accountable: Thunberg

During a weekly climate protest by the Swedish parliament on Friday, Thunberg told Reuters that the aftermath of the dam break was “absolutely horrifying and awful.” Thurberg said, “Russia needs to be held accountable for their action and for their crimes. The eyes of the world are on them now.”

Russia occupied the dam since last year

The United States stated on Tuesday that it was impossible to determine with certainty what destroyed the dam, but it was investigating accusations that Russia, which has been occupying the dam since last year, was responsible for its destruction.
