British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak believes that it is still premature to draw final conclusions about the causes of the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. He said this on June 6, according to The Telegraph.
According to Sunak, the British military and intelligence services are now investigating the incident.
“But I can say that if this was intentional, this will be the biggest attack on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine since the start of the war and will demonstrate the new falls that we have seen as a result of Russian aggression,” the British Prime Minister said.
“Attacks on civilian infrastructure are horrendous and wrong. We’ve seen cases like this before in conflict. But it’s too early to tell definitively,” he added.
