On 6 June 2023 russia destroyed the Nova Kakhovka dam.

Hundreds of square kilometres were flooded, homes destroyed, untold numbers of people died (many under russian occupation were simply dumped in mass graves). Priceless artwork destroyed - the final attached image is how the house of Polina Rayko looked before it was destroyed. Natural habitats ruined, very many animals died.

Never forget.

the interior of a house, wooden floors, the walls covered with bright artwork from floor to ceiling. vivid colours of blues, greens, yellows. various animals all over the walls.
