Aid workers have backed up claims made by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky that Russian forces are shooting at the Ukrainian rescuers trying to reach flooded areas in the occupied Kherson region. Rescuers are trying to evacuate thousands of people in the flood zone of the Russian-occupied Nova Kakhovka dam and hydro-electric power plant, which collapsed sending torrents of water gushing down the Dnipro River. Earlier, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said it was Ukraine firing on rescue workers.
