Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the Kanivska and Dnistrovska hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) were conscious targets in Russian mass air strikes, aiming to replicate the ecological disaster previously caused in the Kherson region by the destruction of the Kakhovka HPP. Zelensky labeled Russia as a 'terrorist country' and highlighted the broader regional threat posed by these attacks, noting that not only Ukraine but also neighboring Moldova could be affected, with the implication that 'the water will not stop' at national borders. The attacks were discussed during a Security Council meeting, where Zelensky also outlined new priorities for the National Security Council.
