On the morning of June 6, 2023, Russian forces destroyed the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, causing water to flood tens of settlements with thousands of people. The occupied eastern bank of Kherson Oblast has suffered the most - but the Russian authorities refused to evacuate people and provided insufficient resources to save the civilians, as the Kyiv Independent’s Olesia Bida reveals in her new documentary, “When the Water Screams.” For this documentary, the Kyiv Independent’s War Crimes Investigations Unit has gathered dozens of unique testimonies from volunteers, eyewitnesses, and relatives of eyewitnesses who experienced the flooding.
