Members of Stirling’s Ukrainian community took part in a ‘silent picket’ in the city centre on Tuesday following the breaching of a dam in the south of the country.
The Nova Kahkovka dam was destroyed over recent days, causing water to surge towards several cities and towns in the south of the war-torn country, including Kherson.
It is described as a crucial resource for the region, with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky claiming in the aftermath of the incident that up to 80 towns and villages may be left flooded as a result.
