 A senior Ukrainian official said on June 7 local and national authorities were in the process of transporting drinking water via railways and cars to Kursan as he inspected flooded areas. Visiting the city of Kursan on the Dniepro River, Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubriakov said over 80 settlements had been affected by a disaster which Ukraine and Russia blame on each other. Although it denies blowing up the dam, Moscow has engaged in a campaign of airstrikes against Ukraine's energy system in which Kiev says infrastructure of other dams has been damaged. Blaming the dam's collapse on Russia, Kubriakov said, they did this on purpose to stop our offensive in this very area at this very moment. Tens of thousands of their soldiers that were holding the front line along the bank here can be relocated to other front line sections.
