In Ukraine, attention remains high around the Zaporizhzhia factory. The director general of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, made it known that the situation at the factory, where he visited today, “is not improving”, on the contrary, hostilities “are intensifying”. Therefore, the agency is working to find “realistic measures” to “avoid disasters”. Meanwhile, Kiev announces that it is ready to counterattack in the field “next to summer”, also thanks to Leopard tanks arriving from the West. As they await the requested weapons, attention remains focused on Bakhmut, where the battle is being fought.
For the director-general, the nuclear power plant “cannot be protected”. “Military activity is increasing across the region. So the plant cannot be protected,” he explained. The agency has had a team of specialists at the plant since last September, but Grossi described the situation as “still precarious”.
According to Wagner’s boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the confrontation “practically destroyed the Ukrainian army” and the Russian tycoon’s private mercenary army is also “defeated”. A Russian “partial success” in the city of Donbass is also confirmed by Ukrainian troops who, however, say they are “courageously” in possession of the city where they repelled “several enemy attacks”.
Finally yellow on the explosion recorded yesterday near a Russian base in Crimea reported by Ukrainian media. According to local authorities, the cause is the shooting down of a drone by anti-aircraft fire.
