As a reminder, on June 6, Russian forces detonated the dam of the Kakhovka HPP in the Kherson region.
According to the Kyiv School of Economics, the direct damages caused by the Russian sabotage of the Kakhovka HPP amount to at least 2 billion dollars.
Taras Vysotskyi, the First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, stated that several million tons of this year's harvest could be lost due to flooding and the inability to irrigate.
According to the National Bank of Ukraine, this act of terrorism will contribute around 0.3 percentage points to this year's inflation due to the disruption of operations of various enterprises and the partial loss of crops, primarily vegetables.
