Volodymyr Zelenskiy has voiced concerns for his home city of Kryvyi Rih after Russian missiles targeted a nearby dam, flooding its streets.
In a fresh video address released early on Thursday, the Ukrainian president said “everything is being done to eliminate the consequences of yet another vile Russian act”, referring to the targeting of a dam in Kryvyi Rih, on the Inhulets River 150km (93 miles) south-west of Dnipro, Ukraine.
City authorities are fighting to contain the damage to its water system after eight cruise missiles hit a water pumping station there in what Zelenskiy has called an attempt to flood the city, the largest in central Ukraine with an estimated pre-war population of 650,000.
