Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is asking international humanitarian agencies to ramp up their response to the flooding that has followed the Kakhovka dam collapse, which inundated swaths of the southern Kherson region. He called the situation “absolutely catastrophic” and urged aid agencies to do more. “We need a clear and quick response from the world,” he said. The International Committee of the Red Cross said its team in Ukraine is “working around the clock” to assist and evacuate communities.
