Kyiv puts environmental damage from Ukraine dam breach at $1.5 bn

Kyiv said Wednesday the destruction of the Russian-held Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine earlier this month caused an estimated $1.5 billion in damages to the environment.

These "preliminary estimates" do not include "losses to agriculture, infrastructure, housing, and the cost of rebuilding the plant itself", Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said at a conference in London.
