About a million Ukrainians have been experiencing water-supply interruptions because of the explosion of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant’s dam, with water being delivered to some settlements by tankers.
The explosion of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant caused the subsidence of the soil on this railway stretch.
The grain elevators are built in settlements along a flood line.
The disaster caused by the Russians will affect land irrigation in southern Ukraine.
Apparently, the bridge was blown up by Russian troops.
However, a floating bridge would likely still be vulnerable to Ukrainian offensive action.
The Ukrainian military retains “fire control” over the Russian occupation forces’ logistics routes in the Kherson region.
The Russian occupiers use the bridge to transfer military equipment, weapons, and personnel.
According to the Kherson Regional Council’s first deputy chairman, the bridge is significantly damaged and unsuitable for use even by passenger vehicles.
The first riverine naval division consisting of river boats has already been created.
The destruction of the dam could lead to catastrophic consequences.
The number of ship journeys on the river increased by almost 37% last year.
Interview with Dmytro Vlasov, an enthusiast who restores hydrofoils.
The next phase of the project is construction of the bridge’s first superstructure.
Building materials, grain, and metal products were mainly transported on the river.
The Infrastructure Ministry is beginning the preparation of a financial agreement on upgrade of the Dnipro cascade based on the outcome of talks with the EIB and with its support.
The volume of transportation of grain on the river reduced but the volume of transportation of metals and building materials increased during the year.
This volume is 7% less than the volume that was transported a year earlier.
Previously, market participants proposed that navigation on River Dnipro should continue because of favorable weather conditions.
