You're playing with fire': Warning as Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant damaged by shelling. Latest 👇
12:35:08Ukraine has said it will investigate video footage being shared online, which claims to show soldiers killing Russian prisoners.
Amid what sounds like sustained gunfire, the video then becomes too blurred to see what happened next Russian authorities have launched a criminal investigation based on the snippets posted on Russian Telegram channels and relayed on other social media. Citing intelligence seen by US and other Western security agencies, the news outlet said Russian and Iranian officials finalised the deal earlier this month.
"Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye," the ministry wrote, which is a quote often attributed to the deaf and blind American author. In a Facebook post, the armed forces general staff said Russia suffered the losses on Thursday when Ukrainian forces shelled the town of Mykhailkva, near the southern city of Kherson.
More now from the head of the IAEA's Rafael Grossi, who has warned whoever is shelling the area around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant that they are"playing with fire". Mr Grossi has been calling for both countries to implement a nuclear safety and security zone around the plant for several months now.
The director general renewed his urgent appeal to both sides in the conflict to agree and implement a nuclear safety and security zone around the ZNPP as soon as possible. Director general of the IAEA Rafael Grossi said in a statement it was"completely unacceptable" and renewed his urgent appeal to both sides in the conflict to agree and implement a nuclear safety and security zone around the plant.
The key area had suffered a barrage of attacks and was occupied by Russian troops earlier this year. The MoD added that it is likely Russia lost"tens" of military vehicles,"rather than hundreds", during the retreat. "However, the force remains riven by poor junior and mid-level leadership and cover-up culture," the MoD said.
Ukraine has claimed Russian soldiers destroyed the area's critical infrastructure before fleeing earlier this month. Ukraine's electricity supplies are now under control despite a series of Russian attacks on power-generating infrastructure, the country's energy ministry has said.
