Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland made a surprise visit to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, as the government of President Volodymyr Zelensky is struggling to assess the damage and effect further downstream evacuations following the destruction of the giant Nova Kakhovka dam.
The visit was planned under a strict news blackout.
Trudeau started his visit to Kyiv by attending a sombre wreath-laying at the Wall of Remembrance, an uncommon, deeply personal collection of photos and inscriptions remembering those who’ve fallen in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Russian troops blew up the dam of the Kakhovska hydroelectric power plant on June 6. As things stand, the plant cannot be restored. Though rescue operations and evacuations from flooded areas are ongoing in the Kherson region, the situation is specifically difficult in the temporarily occupied territories, where the invaders left people without help.
