UKRAINE WAR: Is a new Putin disaster looming? "...that they are making a thrust into the flanks of the Russians"
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, is expected in Ukraine next week. The IAEA announced that he would be informed about developments at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Just two weeks ago, Grossi declared that the plant's safety had deteriorated. On Tuesday, Grossi inspected the Kursk nuclear power plant in the Russian region of the same name and stressed that the fighting there posed a serious risk of a nuclear incident.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyj says he spent several days at the front near Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine. Russia is throwing everything into the fight to break through the Ukrainian defense lines, Syrskyj writes on Facebook. "The fighting is exceptionally tough." Ukraine must constantly use unconventional methods to consolidate its positions.
Meanwhile, a Ukrainian F-16 jet was destroyed on Monday, reports the Wall Street Journal, citing a member of the US government. According to the report, the fighter plane was apparently not shot down, but crashed due to pilot error. The Ukrainian Air Force did not initially comment on the report. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister is meanwhile urging his country's EU allies to deliver the promised air defense systems more quickly. "I have made clear the urgency of delivering the military aid that has already been promised," said Dmytro Kuleba after a meeting with his counterparts from the European Union in Brussels. This also includes air defense systems.
According to the Defense Ministry in Moscow, Russian troops had previously captured two villages in eastern Ukraine. These are Stelmakhivka in the Luhansk region and Mykolaivka in the Donetsk region, Russian news agencies report. The General Staff of Ukraine announced in a morning report that Ukrainian forces were repelling attacks in the Stelmakhivka area.
