Russia’s UN envoy, Vasily Nebenzya, claimed at an emergency session of the security council that Ukraine destroyed Kakhova dam in a 'war crime' before Ukraine representative Sergiy Kyslytsya said it was typical of Russia to blame the victim for its own crimes.

Pointing out Russia has been in control of the dam for more than a year, Kyslytsya said the dam was mined by Russian occupiers. 'By resorting to scorched earth tactics, or in this case to flooded earth tactics, the Russian occupiers have effectively recognised that the captured territory does not belong to them,' Kyslytsya said.
