The destruction of the Kakhovka dam on 6 June caused devastating flooding. The Crisis and Support Centre (CDCS) of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs carried out several solidarity operations to help the displaced Ukrainian populations directly affected by the floods.

Convoys left France on 15 and 16 June, including mobile water treatment units provided by the Veolia Foundation.
