Ukrainian troops strengthen their positions in the south , carrying out two deadly raids on the supply lines of the Russian military that have occupied the Kherson region since the beginning of the war. "They can't do anything about it on the battlefield," says President Volodymyr Zelensky . But Moscow replies that massive military aid from the West to Kiev will not be able to prevent a Russian victory, and meanwhile herald new, albeit limited, successes on the eastern Donbass front.
Meanwhile, as has been the case for several days, the two sides exchange accusations of carrying out bombings near the nuclear power plant in the Russian-controlled region of Zaporizhzhia .
A member of the pro-Russian local government, Vladimir Rogov, said that the Ukrainians have resumed hitting the city of Energodar, and rockets have also fallen along the bank of the Dnieper, where the plant is located. Kiev claims that it is the Russians who carry out the bombings, and the intelligence services of the Ministry of Defense accuse the Russians of planning an action against the site under false Ukrainian banners.

The day by the hour:
18.20 - Mayor, "central Zaporizhzhia risks are growing every day"
The risks of a nuclear disaster for the Zaporizhzhia power plant occupied by Russian troops "are growing day by day", according to the mayor of Energodar, the town where the large plant is located. "What is happening there - said the mayor, Dmytro Orlov, speaking from the regional capital Zaporizhzhia, which is still in Ukrainian hands - is nuclear terrorism beautiful and good" and "can end up in an unpredictable way at any moment". The Russian military are accused of having barricaded themselves in the plant from where they continue to fire, shielding themselves from it, taking advantage of the danger of a Chernlobyl-style atomic disaster. "The situation is very dangerous, and what worries most is that there is no sign of de-escalation," added the mayor of Energodar.
