Russia likely plans to steal energy from occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP

Petro Andriushchenko, the head of the Center for the Study of Occupation, reported that Russia is laying cables as part of an operation to steal electricity from the occupied nuclear power plant in Enerhodar.

He noted, “While it’s clear that the cables are intended to connect the stolen Ukrainian power grid to the Russian one, the construction of fortifications amid the possibility of peace talks, along with Russia's assertion that it intends to stay 'forever,' raises questions.”

• Russian forces have started urgently transferring reinforcements from assault aircraft training camps in the Berdiansk-Mariupol area towards Volnovakha.
