Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of a “barbaric act” in his first public comments on the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam, which has caused widespread flooding.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has accused Moscow of destroying the Russian-held dam, said Russia-backed forces were failing in their efforts to evacuate residents.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for a “comprehensive investigation” to establish the cause of the Nova Kakhovka explosion, following separate calls with Zelenskyy and Putin. Erdogan said an inquiry could be set up to include representatives from the United Nations, Ukraine, Russia and the international community.
Journalist Yulia Shapovalova joins us live from Moscow to discuss Russia’s reaction to the latest news.
