PJSC "Ukrhydroenergo" has started work on filing lawsuits against the Russian Federation to bear the responsibility for targeted attacks on infrastructure, including the destruction of the Kakhovka's hydroelectric plant.
"Ukrhydroenergo" prepares lawsuits against Russia for destroying the Kakhovka Dam.
The company has engaged two law firms to develop an arbitration strategy.
According to the report, companies were selected with the help of the Pro Bono Platform of the Secretariat of the Energy Community. The two companies jointly pledged to provide 375 hours of legal work free of charge.
Energy Community and "Ukrhydroenergo" are cooperating to coordinate strategic and legal support of the company's lawsuits against Russia regarding compensation for infrastructural and commercial damage caused by the military invasion of Ukraine, the message emphasises.
The company recalled that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, the Russian army attacked Ukrhydroenergo facilities more than 50 times, which resulted in the loss of about 2.5 thousand MW of capacity.
The world is not aware of the tragedy scale after Russia blew up the Kakhovska Dam
According to Svitlana, head nurse of the Oleshky District Multidisciplinary Hospital, who collected death certificates, the rotting of the bodies led to the swelling of the corpses and "people floated around the city like balloons."
The hospital sent just under 50 bodies to autopsy centers. However, as the Associated Press writes, the Russians gave residents separate phone numbers that they could use to call the police, who sent people to pick up the bodies found, bypassing the hospital. At the same time, family members were charged 10,000 rubles as a fee for services.
According to the nurse, the scale of this tragedy is still not realised, not only in Russia but even in Ukraine.
