Oleksandr Starukh, Ukraine’s governor of the Zaporizhzhia region, has posted to Telegram to report that the city of Orikhiv has been targeted, killing one person. He writes:
Zaporizhzhia is one of the four occupied regions of Ukraine that the Russian Federation has claimed to annex, despite not being fully in control of the territory.The city of Orikhiv is once again the target of the enemy. The occupier destroyed residential buildings along the central street and in a residential neighbourhood with a massive, multi-hour shelling of a small, peaceful town. The enemy took the life of a resident of the village. In addition, we have 9 wounded from Orikhov and 1 from Preobrazhenka, 3 more in Stepnohirsk. Other objects of civil infrastructure and utility networks, homes in which people invested their whole lives were destroyed. We will rebuild everything as soon as we knock out the enemy from our land, but the main thing is to save human life.
The Russian state-owned Tass news agency is reporting that officials at Russia’s nuclear power station operator Rosenergoatom have begun the process of transitioning the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP) to Russian processes, in particular “the storage system for spent fuel of the Russian Federation”.
It quotes Renat Karchaa, adviser to the general director of Rosenergoatom, saying: “The process of switching to the Russian system has already been launched.”
He added: “This implies a number of points, starting with documents, regulations and so on. It is clear that there will be a transitional period for each component.
“While we are immersing ourselves in the process, we are simultaneously analysing all the processes and developing specific solutions, including those related to the storage of all nuclear materials.”
Yesterday, Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, described the situation at the ZNPP as “deeply worrying” after the plant again lost external power due to Russian military action cutting supplies. Energoatom, the Ukrainian operator of the plant, also accused the Russian forces occupying it of blocking attempts to refuel the site’s diesel generators.
The British defence secretary, Ben Wallace, has said there “isn’t a risk” of the western supply of arms to Ukraine running out before Russia’s supplies are exhausted.
He told Deborah Haynes, the defence and security correspondent of Sky News:
There isn’t a risk because unlike Russia, who has already isolated itself and we saw that yesterday at the United Nations vote, they need a supply chain. Large parts of the supply chain were not in Russia. They came from all over the world, including in Europe, including indeed even in Ukraine, some of their supply chain was in Ukraine.
We have the ability to refurbish or indeed manufacture a new supply chain which is what we are doing right now. The UK-Danish joint-led international fund is all about placing orders in a manufacturing space to make sure we can go on in 2023, 2024 and keep going on.
The United Nations general assembly has overwhelmingly condemned Russia’s “attempted illegal annexation” of four Ukrainian regions, demanding that Moscow reverse course.
Three-quarters of the 193-member general assembly – or 143 countries – voted on Wednesday in favour of a resolution that called Moscow’s move illegal, deepening Russia’s international isolation.
Only four countries joined Russia in voting against the resolution – Syria, Nicaragua, North Korea and Belarus. Thirty-five countries abstained, including Russia’s strategic partner China, together with India, South Africa and Pakistan. The rest did not vote.
US president Joe Biden said the vote sent a “clear message” to Moscow. “The stakes of this conflict are clear to all, and the world has sent a clear message in response – Russia cannot erase a sovereign state from the map,” he said.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said he was “grateful to 143 states that supported the historic UNGA [United Nations general assembly] resolution”, tweeting: “The world had its say – [Russia’s] attempt at annexation is worthless and will never be recognised by free nations.”
US secretary of state Antony Blinken said the vote showed international unity against Russia and repeated that Washington would never recognise the “sham” referendums.
The vote “is a powerful reminder that the overwhelming majority of nations stand with Ukraine, in defence of the UN Charter and in resolute opposition to Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine and its people,” he said in a statement.
Before the vote, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador to the UN, said: “Today it is Russia invading Ukraine. But tomorrow it could be another nation whose territory is violated. It could be you. You could be next. What would you expect from this chamber?”
After 48 hours of Ukrainian cities coming under heavy fire, the government in Kyiv could celebrate positive news from both the frontlines and its diplomatic efforts to secure ground-to-air systems, including anti-aircraft weapons from the UK.
Five settlements in the Beryslav district in the north-east of the Kherson region – Novovasylivka, Novogrygorivka, Nova Kamyanka, Tryfonivka, Chervone – were said to have been taken from Russian forces over the day.
Western sources suggested, however, that there was a shortage of equipment among allies to offer to Ukraine.
The continued progress of Ukrainian forces in the Kherson region is nevertheless a major boost, although the government said the Russians were continuing to hammer the southern frontlines hard.
A senior Nato official claimed that Russia had depleted a significant proportion of its precision-guided ammunition in its invasion and that its industry could not produce a number of key types of ammunition and weapon systems due to western sanctions.
The official, quoted by Reuters, said he did not know how long it would take for Russia to mobilise the 300,000 troops Moscow is aiming for, and suggested it could take a few months.
Kherson, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk are four regions that Putin recently announced to some fanfare had been annexed by Russia, a move condemned as illegal under international law. The fighting in those regions continues, however.
At least seven people were killed and eight injured in a Russian strike on a crowded market in the town of Avdiivka, the governor of the eastern Donetsk region said on Wednesday.
International concern over energy supplies was further heightened on Wednesday after a leak was reported on the Druzhba oil pipeline in Poland, which links Russia and Germany.
“The cause of the incident is not known for the moment. Pumping in the affected line was immediately stopped. Line 2 of the pipeline is functioning normally,” the Polish operator Pern said.
Poland’s prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, said it is too early to say whether the leak was accidental damage or caused by sabotage.
“Many steps point straight to the Kremlin, but we want to be very responsible and only then confirm our assumptions,” he told Polish state-owned radio broadcaster PR3.
The Russian oil pipeline operator, Transneft, said its Polish counterpart had notified it of the leak. “Yes, we received a message … We have no information as to how long it will take to repair the damage,” the Transneft vice-president, Sergei Andronov, said, according to the Interfax news agency. “From their end at the moment, oil continues to be accepted,” he added.
The pipeline mainly supplies two refineries in Schwedt and Leuna in Germany. The Schwedt refinery, which is close to the Polish border and supplies 90% of the oil consumed in Berlin and the surrounding region, including Berlin-Brandenburg international airport, is the subject of a dispute over its management and control.
Poland has said it will stop supplying the refinery, which is majority owned by Rosneft, unless the Russian firm is removed as a shareholder.
Last month, the German government said it had taken control of the refinery – and the other German operations of Rosneft – to secure energy supplies. It put Rosneft Deutschland under a trusteeship of the German industry regulator, but Rosneft still holds 54% of the company’s shares.
Schwedt previously received most of its crude from Russia, and Berlin is now looking to other countries for supplies.

Kyllä, ongelma on siinä maalidatan saamisessa koska risteilyohjukset lentävät niin matalalla että ne on usein tutkahorisontin alla.Jahaa voiko Amraam/Nasams sittenkin ampua alas risteilyohjuksia?
Ei kai siitä ole ollut epäselvyyttä. Ballistisia ohjuksia sillä ei voi torjua.Jahaa voiko Amraam/Nasams sittenkin ampua alas risteilyohjuksia?
Eikös Kiovaan hyökätty ballistisilla ohjuksilla, ja tuo yhden päivän terrori tuli Venäjälle kalliiksi eikä rahaa korvaavaan materiaaliin ihan nopeasti synny. Vaikka esimerkiksi Saksa ajautuu nyt energian vuoksi talouskriisiin, on lännellä edelleen huomattavasti enemmän taloudellisia resursseja Venäjän yrityksiin kuluttaa myös lännen resursseja. NATO:han ei ole edes vielä aloittanut sotaa..Nyt toteutuma on se, että Ukraina torjui laajan invaasion läntisellä tuella ja Venäjä on nyt "all-in" ja heittää aivan koko kalustonsa tuleen. Nyt on käynnissä kulutussota; on järkevää heittää taivas pimeäksi Kiovassa halvahkoilla pommidroneilla ja toivoa, että lännen ohjsuvarannot kuluvat loppuun niitä torjuessa, eikä uustuotanto ehdi lähteä riittävän nopeaan nousuun.

In the first international media interview by an Azov fighter since some were released in a major, and surprising, prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine last month, he claimed some of his fellow fighters held separately had been tortured and denied adequate medical treatment and food.
"Obvious things" happened, Lt Samoilenko told me in Kyiv, where he was recovering after being freed. "Obvious things that people who are captured are tortured by the Russians".
Russia denies torturing or mistreating prisoners of war, although Ukrainian officials say fighters have suffered abuse in Russian captivity.
"I'm happy to see the people who've been waiting for me," Lt Samoilenko said, "and the tears of joy in their faces and their smiles".
