Russia Blocks Aid Workers from Ukraine Dam Collapse Site Despite UN Complaints
TL;DR
The United Nations has criticized Russia for denying aid workers access to areas affected by the recent Kakhova dam collapse in southern Ukraine, which is under Russian control. The dam breach is seen by some analysts as a Russian effort to thwart Ukraine's counteroffensive in the Kherson region. Meanwhile, Ukraine's forces have advanced up to four miles into territory previously held by Russia, according to the Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister. Russia attacked south and southeast Ukraine overnight with cruise missiles and self-exploding drones, but no casualties or damage were reported.
