Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant: Power Outage Raises Nuclear Accident Concerns

Ukrainian authorities averted a potential nuclear catastrophe at the Zaporizhzhia power plant after two power lines connecting it to the grid were temporarily cut. The plant, occupied by Russian forces since March 2022, is no longer generating electricity but still requires power to cool one of its nuclear reactors. Germany has completed training a second group of Ukrainian soldiers to use the Patriot air defense system, focusing on defending Ukraine's airspace. Meanwhile, UK intelligence reports suggest that Russia is paying off soldiers' wives to silence criticism about the war in Ukraine.
