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!

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 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

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

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.

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

Thank you for talking about this important topic

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

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

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 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 .

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 covering this theme

I was trying to find something like drone footage or aerial pictures of the Kakhovka reservoir as it stands now, but could just find a handful of articles and pictures. Today I tried again and was happily surprised to find this video. Your source listing seems exceptional in todays "fast food" media which often just parrots things, even when the original source isn't confirmed... I've wondered a bit why there seemingly isn't much news about the situation with the reservoir.

Thank you for such important topic in video 💙💛
