Ukraine is taking aim at Russian soldiers firing at and from the captured nuclear power plant Zaporizhzhia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. He warned that every day that Russian forces remain on the site increases the radiation threat to Europe to levels exceeding even the peak moments of the Cold War confrontation.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Energodar Dmitry Orlov, who evacuated to territories controlled by Kyiv, wrote in Telegram that local residents reported new Russian shelling in the direction of the industrial zone of the city near the plant. The Russian-appointed head of the local administration, Vladimir Rogov, blamed the Ukrainian army for the attacks. According to the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Agency, Russia is preparing more provocations at the nuclear plant. The Russian army has deployed a Pion self-propelled howitzer gun artillery in the area with a Ukrainian flag on it.
The counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army against the city of Kherson continues. Ukrainian units have destroyed a second bridge over the Dnieper River, which was used by Russian forces to supply supplies, British intelligence claims. The army also struck Donetsk and Makaevka, which are under Russian control. At the same time, Chechnya is sending a new unit of volunteers trained at the Russian University of Special Forces to fight in Ukraine, the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced in Telegram.
