Oleksandr Tolokonnikov, a spokesman of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, said this on the air of the United News telethon, Ukrinform reports.
"As the dam continues to collapse, we expect the level to rise another meter in the next 20 hours," he said.
According to him, the water has already reached the Odesa community, where houses are flooded.
