Both representatives accused the other side of terrorism. Pointing out Russia has been in control of the dam for more than a year, Kyslytsya said the dam was mined by Russian occupiers. 'By resorting to scorched earth tactics, or in this case to flooded earth tactics, the Russian occupiers have effectively recognised that the captured territory does not belong to them,' Kyslytsya said.
