Flood relief after dam breach

The breach of the Kakhovka dam represents an enormous violation of international law. It has destroyed the lives of tens of thousands of people and animals and has already caused the first casualties. There is also a huge risk to the nearby Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which pumps cooling water from the Kakhovka reservoir.

In order to handle the situation, the Ukrainian civil protection immediately contacted its allies. In Germany, the THW has set the first aid on the way on the same day. Thanks to the professional help of the THW, Germany was one of the first 3 countries in the world to provide immediate assistance. Here is a list.
