have the latest on that will come back to verify live. let s return straightaway to our story because both cad and moscow blame each other for the breach of that damn. meanwhile, people downstream of the dam are having to flee advancing floodwaters while those others have lost access to safe drinking water. let me just show you some of the latest pictures that we are getting from the region, because right throughout the day we have been seeing the rising waters. we have also seen in terms of the rescue efforts, multiple rescue efforts of people being plucked from rooftops. we heard that people are actually staying in trees overnight to try and escape all of that that you are seeing on the screen. let s speak to a climate and environmental policy expert from eco action ukraine, the civil society organisation that has been studying environmental impacts of the war in the country. thank you so much for being here on the programme. in terms of your assessment of the impact of wha
humanitarian problems, but of course we start to talk about environmental consequences already. to see the full scale impact, will be able only after a few days and few weeks where we will see their scale of the flooded areas, but already now we can see that the pollution in the area is very high and both from, because of the explosion of the hydroelectric power station itself, and also because of the secretary problems from the flooded areas, because every city has its sewage system, agricultural lands, and other areas which could create additional pollution of the water in this area. , ., ., this area. sophia, we will leave it there, this area. sophia, we will leave it there. but this area. sophia, we will leave it there, but thanks this area. sophia, we will leave it there, but thanks so this area. sophia, we will leave it there, but thanks so much - this area. sophia, we will leave it there, but thanks so much for - there, but thanks so much for joining us live here on the pr
