According to Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, “crucial repair works” have begun on a “essential backup line” connecting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine to the grid, “under another IAEA-brokered ceasefire.”
Grossi stated on X that “an IAEA team is monitoring the progress while a Ukrainian team is doing the repairs.”
Homes in the Chernihiv region of Ukraine were left without electricity as a result of Russian shelling, according to the regional electricity distribution company’s statement on Telegram.
After a Ukrainian drone strike on Saturday, more than 200 000 people in the Russian-occupied region of Ukraine’s Zaporizhia region were left without electricity, according to Balitsky on Telegram.

Rustem Umerov, the chief Ukrainian negotiator, stated that in addition to “deliberate” discussions about security guarantees for Ukraine, Russian and Ukrainian representatives had met in Miami, Florida, over the weekend, with an emphasis on “practical mechanisms for their implementation.”
According to Umerov, the US negotiators who were present included Josh Gruenbaum, White House staffer Josh Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Stephen Witkoff.
As Trump continues to threaten the self-governing Danish territory and NATO member, Kremlin investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev hailed US President Donald Trump’s imposing 10% tariffs on European nations for sending troops to defend Greenland. In a stream of posts, Dmitriev specifically criticized European leaders, including EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, before adding that “Transatlantic unity is over”.
In her own post on X, Kallas claimed that Russia and China “are the ones who benefit from divisions among Allies.” She added that it was crucial to keep our main objective from helping Russia end its war with Ukraine in mind.
In an interview with the La Vanguardia newspaper on Sunday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez claimed that a US invasion of Greenland “would make]Russian President Vladimir Putin the happiest man on earth” because it “legitimizes his attempted invasion of Ukraine.”
