Three months after the Russian terrorist attack, the Kakhovka Reservoir is now overgrown with trees and greenery, almost resembling a field. The head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, shared new footage of the reservoir on Telegram.

The head of the Presidential Office signed the video very succinctly but accurately - "#ecocide... the Kakhovka Reservoir."
In the footage, you can see that hectares of land that were once underwater are now densely covered with greenery, looking more like fields.
Recently, Ukrainian public figure, prosecutor, and lawyer Vladyslav Kutsenko also shared photos of the Kakhovka Reservoir.
"The endless green 'field' you can see beyond the riverbeds of the Konka River, beyond the railroad - it's not a field at all, but what the Kakhovka Reservoir has turned into after the terrorist act committed by the Russian aggressor on the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant. Now, it's thousands of hectares of dry land, formerly the bottom, densely covered with greenery - young trees and grass, not reeds, as it may seem," Kutsenko wrote on Facebook.
More than 3 months have passed since the terrorist attack on the Kakhovka HPP carried out by the Russians. The dam was blown up on June 6, after which hundreds of buildings in the Kherson region were flooded, as well as significant agricultural land.
As a result of the reservoir's recession, areas of land potentially interesting from an archaeological perspective have surfaced. However, valuable artifacts are now at risk. The terrorist act also caused irreparable damage to the flora and fauna of the region.
