MOSCOW (Reuters) - Ukraine's Kherson region will lose much of its vegetable harvest due to a shortage of water in the North Crimean and Kakhovka canals, Russian-installed governor Vladimir Saldo said on Thursday, according to the TASS news agency.

The Kakhovka dam, a huge Soviet-era dam on the Dnipro River, which separates Russian and Ukrainian forces in southern Ukraine, was breached in June.
