The Kremlin hasn’t issued any direct instructions for how the Kakhovka dam breach should be covered. As a result, virtually all pro-Kremlin outlets have chosen to downplay the significance of the disaster as well as the scale of the flooding.

On June 6 at around 02.00 hours in the morning the dam of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power plant in the Dnipro river collapsed, flooding a vast territory in the direction of Crimea.The Russians deny, calling the blast a 'terrorist act by the Kyiv regime'. Some experts suggest that the dam has collapsed due to negligence by the Russian occupiers. News agency Meduza summarizes what we know so far.
