The foreign ministry responded quickly to the partial destruction of the Kakhovka dam on June 6 and the resulting flooding, it confirmed in a reportexternal link in the SonntagsZeitung.

“The embassy in Kyiv is currently in the process of delivering urgently needed pipes and pumps to the water network operators above the dam,” said spokesperson Michael Steiner. This would allow the water supply systems to operate even at lower water levels, he said.

The embassy is also working with communities, local water network operators and NGOs on plans for the delivery of water treatment units and water tanks.
