The European Union will provide the necessary assistance to Ukraine after the partial destruction of the Kakhovka dam, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said after a telephone conversation with the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell. Both Kyiv and Moscow have denied responsibility for the attack. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, located upstream, has sufficient alternative cooling systems to keep the plant safe and operational. In the meantime, mass evacuations continued on Wednesday in southern Ukraine after the water discharge flooded numerous settlements along the Dnieper.
