Residents of Snihurika were awarded ₴20 million in compensation for property damaged by flooding

More than 20 million hryvnias were awarded to residents of the Snihurivka community as compensation for damage to real estate due to flooding.

Ivan Kukhta, the head of the Sniguriv MBA, told about this in a comment to NikVesti.

As you know, at dawn on June 6, it became known about the undermining of the Kakhovka HPP dam. In a matter of hours, villages and cities of Kherson region and Mykolaiv region were in the flooding zone. In particular, the water passed through 13 settlements of the Snihurivka community.

Already on June 9, it became known that the water rose by 6 meters. It took several weeks for the water to recede.

Within the community, 375 houses were destroyed due to flooding.

Currently, people are returning to their homes, some are trying to rebuild them. Out of the 20 million hryvnias accrued, the locals have not yet received funds for the cards.

— 375 families were left without homes for a long period of time. Most of the people have returned to their homes, they are being restored and repaired. Currently, compensation has already been awarded to the vast majority of affected people, and we and the families are waiting to receive it. This is more than 20 million hryvnias, — said Ivan Kukhta.

Ivan Kukhta also added that, in general, more than 50 million hryvnias were charged to the community for the destruction of property from shelling and flooding.

We remind you that eco-activists and scientists conducted another sampling of water, bottom sediments and wells in the Mykolaiv Region to study the consequences of blowing up the Kakhovka HPP. The samples make it possible to analyze the toxic pollution that has entered the Black Sea.
