An Important Message Regarding the Kakhovka Dam Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

Today's report is a brief but important message from Yewleea, voice of United24 Media. Any audience who are located in the Kherson region of Ukraine near the Dnipro River south of the Kakhovka Dam, please listen.

If you have friends or family located in the impacted region, please share this message with them. The original video can be found on TikTok and Instagram (@yewleea)

In English:

"Attention Ukrainians, please watch this video to the end. Do not skip this, and please spread it further. Residents of the Left Bank of the Dnipro River, especially those south of the cities of Kherson and Oleshky, you are not safe. If you live 6 meters above sea level or lower, which you can find this information on Google by searching your city and ‘sea level’. If the road you use to get to your house is 6 meters above sea level or lower, you need to evacuate immediately. The strongest flooding has not yet begun, and will come in a few days. Diseases are spreading in places of high flooding. Please be careful and leave your home today. Be careful in flooding areas, especially where you can't see through the water. There is a risk of mines that are free-floating in the water, and the risk of electric shock. If your friends or relatives live south of the cities of Kherson and Oleshky along the Dnipro River, please share this message, and please visit your elderly neighbors and check that they can move by themselves to evacuate. See if there are any animals that are tied up or chained, or closed in crates on the property. Save lives. We have already seen a disaster of an evacuation by Russians in the city of Oleshky. This information is verified and approved by an expert on flood mitigation, April O'Leary, who advises governments of various countries on reducing the consequences of flooding. Thank you for your time and attention, please share this message."
