Ukraine dam collapse highlights lack of accountability and aid in Russian-occupied territory.

TL;DR Summary
Thousands of people are trapped by floodwaters in the Kherson region of Ukraine after a catastrophic dam collapse, with many stranded in Russian-occupied territory and facing slow or no help from Russian forces. Reports suggest that Russian soldiers are taking rescuers' boats and only helping people with Russian passports. The true scale of the disaster remains unclear, but officials on both sides indicate that about 16 people have died. The floods have ruined crops, displaced land mines, caused widespread environmental damage, and set the stage for long-term electricity shortages.
