Ukraine's main hydropower company says it has initiated proceedings to secure damages for Russia's destruction of the Kakhovka dam and power station a year ago today.
State-run Ukrhydroenergo said it estimates the damage to be around €2.5bn (£2.12bn).
The explosion of the dam on 6 June 2023 - which sent huge amounts of water across swathes of southern Ukraine and left thousands of people without drinking water - was met with global outcry and accusations of a war crime.
"The company's actions aim to compensate for the losses caused by the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant," Ukrhydroenergo said in a statement.
"The company believes that initiating international arbitration process is the most promising way to compensate for the losses."
The firm said Vladimir Putin, his government and other authorised bodies had been informed.
