WASHINGTON — The White House on Tuesday said it could not say conclusively what destroyed a massive dam in Ukraine, but was assessing reports that the blast was caused by Russia, which has been occupying the dam since last year. Spokesman John Kirby said it was clear that the destruction of the dam on the Dnipro River that separates Russian and Ukrainian forces in southern Ukraine had likely caused “many deaths” and the evacuation of thousands of Ukrainians.Kirby told reporters the damage could have a devastating impact on Ukraine’s energy security.
“We’ve seen the reports that Russia was responsible for the explosion at the dam,” he said. “We’re doing the best we can to assess those reports, and we are working with the Ukrainians to gather more information, but we cannot say conclusively what happened.”
