BY A STAFF REPORTER: Ukraine's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday that 300 animals living in the zoo have died in devastating floods caused by the collapse of the Nova Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine. "It's an ecoside," the ministry said. The Russians want to destroy anything alive. " 

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy blamed Moscow for the Nova Kakhovka dam collapse and said Russia must bear "criminal responsibility" for the "ecoside".

Both Kiev and Moscow have accused each other of causing the dam's major collapse, although it is unclear whether the dam was intentionally attacked or collapsed as a result of structural failure.
