Buildings damaged 300 metres from the Pivdennoukrainsk nuclear power plant in Ukraine’s southern Mykolaiv region
Ukraine accused Russian forces on Monday of shelling near the Pivdennoukrainsk nuclear power plant in Ukraine’s southern Mykolaiv region.
Since its forces were driven out of Kharkiv, Russia has repeatedly fired at power plants, water infrastructure and other civilian targets in what Ukraine says is retaliation for defeats on the ground. Moscow denies deliberately targeting civilians. Crossing the Oskil River is another important milestone in Ukraine’s counter-offensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region. The river flows south into the Siversky Donets, which snakes through the Donbas, the main focus of Russia’s invasion.
Ukrainian forces swept through the Kharkiv region this month after bursting through the front line, sending thousands of Russian troops fleeing and abandoning their tanks and ammunition. In recent days, the pace of the Ukrainian advance has again slowed, but Zelensky said this was only because the forces were consolidating and preparing for further offensives.
Pugacheva, 73, asked to be declared a “foreign agent” - a legal definition the Russian authorities impose on Kremlin critics, including her husband, a comedian who hosted Russia’s version of “Who Wants to Be Millionaire”.
