The reconstruction of the Kakhovka Dam may last at least five years and will cost a billion euros, estimated the director of the dam operator company, Ihor Syrota.
“The scale of the disaster is extraordinary,” Sirota emphasized in a statement.
According to some initial estimates, “at least five years and one billion euros are needed to build the new plant,” according to this statement published by the Kyiv Independent, as cited by news.ro.
Ukraine continues to evacuate civilians from flooded areas south of the Kakhovskaya dam, a strategic point in eastern Ukraine.
