In the Kryvyi Rih district, the Russians bombed the Zelenodolsk community without causing injuries, casualties or damage.

Russian forces also attacked again with artillery the town of Marhanets, in the Dnipropetrovsk region, a few kilometers from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant which, as evidenced by the Ukrainian atomic agency Energoatom, continues to operate with the risk of violation of the fire and radiation safety regulations.

For its part, Moscow, through the permanent representative of Russia to the international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, argues that the government of the Zaporizhzhia region is evaluating the possibility of interrupting the activity of the nuclear power plant due to continuous bombing by the forces Ukrainian.

Meanwhile, an analysis by the New York Times highlights that, "thanks to the supply from Western countries of new long-range missiles, the Ukrainian forces have managed to slow down," at least for the moment ", the advance of Russian troops in the east and in the south of the country. But despite this, "the Russian military machine still has sufficient strength to continue the offensive operations." And in the last week, according to British intelligence, Russia's priority has probably been to reposition military units to reinforce troops in the south of the country.

Yesterday, Ukrainian President

Volodymir Zelensky

said that Ukrainian troops are strengthening their positions in the south, carrying out two deadly raids on the supply lines of the Russian military who have occupied the Kherson region since the beginning of the war.

"They can't do anything about it on the battlefield," Zelensky said.

But Moscow has replied that massive military aid from the West to Kiev will not prevent a Russian victory, and meanwhile has announced new, albeit limited, successes on the eastern Donbass front.
