It’s Day 9 of the Ukraine-Russia war and things seem to have taken a turn for much worse. Russian forces shelled Europe’s largest nuclear power plant causing a fire at the site.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia’s targetting of the nuclear plant has risked all of Europe, while Ukraine’s Foreign Minister warned that if it blew up it would be 10 times bigger than the Chernobyl disaster.

WHAT’S THE LATEST ON THE BATTLE? Reports suggest that the Russian forces have slowed down their advance in the northern region of Ukraine, but are continuing progress in the southern region. The nearly 65 km long Russian military convoy heading towards the capital Kyiv has been stalled for more than 2 days now due to alleged logistical problems.

WHAT IS RUSSIA SAYING? Russian President Vladimir Putin in his phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron said that Moscow will continue with its fight against ‘militants of nationalist armed groups’ and that everything is going by the plan. Putin continued to feed the same excuse he has been saying on Ukraine invasion.
WHAT IS UKRAINE SAYING? Ukraine has been demanding a ceasefire from Russia, but to no avail so far. However, the two warring states have been able to agree on the need to create humanitarian corridors for citizens to escape the war.
