(Bloomberg) — The Kremlin said Russian forces are repelling “saboteurs” who crossed the border from Ukraine, the second such incident reported by Moscow in two months. Ukraine said an operation is being carried out by Russian volunteer militias.
A Russian-occupied nuclear-power plant outside the southeast Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia lost power Monday, and had to rely on emergency generators before operations were restored.
Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra said his government intends to start training Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16s “sooner rather than later” after the US relented on allowing the fighter jet training to start. France repeated its willingness to participate as well, as European Union ministers met in Brussels.
Ukraine reported damage to dozens of buildings and vehicles in the central city of Dnipro after another barrage of Russian missiles was unleashed overnight. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy suggested Russian forces are taking control of the eastern city of Bakhmut after months of fighting, as skirmishes continue.
