A new wave of Russian strikes on the territory of Ukraine led to the death and injury of civilians, as well as the destruction of critical infrastructure in Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, Poltava, Zaporozhye and other regions.
According to available data, residential buildings, kindergartens and shops were hit. Humanitarian organizations are providing first aid, psychological support, repair materials and other emergency services to victims.
The day before, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo, speaking at the Security Council, said that the situation in the country is “worse than ever.”
The situation around the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant
The Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in southern Ukraine today was left without connection to the line power transmission “Dneprovskaya” with a voltage of 750 kV. As a result, the facility is dependent on a single backup external power supply.
The station has been under the control of Russian forces since March 4, 2022 and has since been repeatedly damaged by shelling.
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said that agency experts are monitoring the development of the situation and holding consultations with both sides on establishing a local ceasefire that would allow repairing the damaged power line.
