Thank you for covering the catastrophe. It’s utterly disastrous for Ukraine and Ukrainians and we appreciate thoughtful takes on the tragedy

Hard topic but important to talk about!

Thank you for this video! We still have no idea what Russia blowing Kakhovka dam is going to mean to us long term

Thank you for this video! It's terrifying, what russians did in Ukraine And that's not the first catastrophe they did - also Syria, Georgia and Chechnya had their horrific stories

Thanks for the informative video. The tragedy was caused by russia

I’m usually agains river dams but this was actually makes sense. The arid desert around it was transformed to fertile fields and biodiversity actually increased.

This is my favourite video for now, Because I like most videos ...but this one I loved. i really liked your take on both sides and its something that we have to think about when it comes to Dams. I come from a country that is in a Damming phase for economic development ( mainly food security in rural areas) and I was for the most part not a fan of dams ...But this video got me thinking.

Thank you for talking about this important topic

Thank you so much for covering the ecocide caused by russia and drawing attention to all the horrible consequences the land and people are facing. It is a very important topic and more people need to hear about that. I also appreciate the efforts put to pronounce Ukrainian toponyms correctly .

thank you for such an educational video! it's terrifying that russia seemingly goes unpunished after all this

Oooo thank you for that video! Now more people can be aware of the consequences of this catastrophe in my country

Thank you for this video. 🇺🇦

I hadn't known that there was actual footage of the explosion. This video tells a grim tale indeed.

I really would have liked more analysis of those old maps of how this area looked before the dam to judge the idea of maybe not rebuilding it. The war won't end tomorrow and then there's demining to be done first before one can start to rebuild anything. A big dam like this isn't constructed in a year either. So, potentially, going back to what it looked like with the dam might be 5+ years from now. A discussion of whether by that time it would still be a good idea or how to "bridge" the time until then would also be interesting.

Thank you for telling the truth about this tragedy. My home was flooded. Russian made this, they're killing people, nature. And i'm really thankful that you telling people the thuth

Thank you for covering this theme

It's ironic that military maps from ww2 were the best record of what the area was like before the dam was built, in the former marshes remains of troops killed that were concealed by the vegetation that was submerged by the dam which drowned it hence when the lake vanished their remains were visible

thank you for the truthful coverage of such a terrible disaster in Ukraine, russia should be held responsible for the committed ecocide

This is really important to know. Thanks for your work!
