Ukrainian refugees in Nottingham appeal for help after 'traumatic' explosion destroys dams in Russia-Ukraine war

Ukrainian refugees in Nottingham have spoken out about how they’re scared for their families back home and are appealing for a ‘quick response’ to get supplies sent to Ukraine. Over a year later, Ukraine is still a war zone. On June 6, was the destruction of Ukraine’s Nova Kakhovka dam which led to widespread flooding putting people and animals at risk.

Thousands of people from parts of the Kherson region where water continues to surge down the Dnipro River which divides Russian and Ukrainian-controlled territory have been evacuated; however, some remain trapped on rooftops. Refugees in Nottingham have called what has happened ‘traumatic.’

City Hub Ukraine, a group headed by organiser Ann Vickers in Nottingham, was created to help send lorries of donations, collect money and spread awareness.
