The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine extended until December 31, 2024 the period of the experimental project for the construction of main water pipelines due to the need to eliminate the negative consequences associated with the destruction of the dam of Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant.
The destruction of Kakhovka hydroelectric dam caused damage to Ukraine worth almost $14 billion, exacerbating the already catastrophic consequences of the full-scale Russian invasion, according to a comprehensive report by the Ukrainian government and the UN.
More than 60,000 buildings with a total area of 8.6 million square meters were damaged to varying degrees by the blowing up of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam by the Russian occupation forces, Manager of Reform Support Projects at Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) Maksym Nefyodov has said.
The Cabinet of Ministers has provided an additional UAH 335 million to Kherson region to overcome the consequences of the terrorist attack at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant (HPP), Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said.
Experts from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) for the first time, based on the principle of Kakhovka HPP, calculated the losses of ecosystem services in Ukraine (all useful resources and benefits that a person can receive from nature), which, if their report is submitted, will help use the proposed principles and formula in perspective.
