"Russia's military seized 447 square kilometres (172.6 square miles) of territory from Ukraine in September. Analysis by the United States-based Institute for the Study of War shows that it's slowing down from a recent peak in July when it seized 634sq km (244.8 square miles). Russian shelling near the town of Slavutych cut external power to the decommissioned Chornobyl power plant on Wednesday."
"The shelling also led to more than 3,000 people losing power in the nearby Chernihiv region. Zelenskyy will meet 50 heads of state, government and European Union leaders in Copenhagen on Thursday. Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov met his North Korean counterpart, No Kwang Chol, on Wednesday, according to Russian state media. French navy personnel boarded an oil tanker linked to Russia's shadow fleet and arrested two senior crew members."
"The US will supply Ukraine with intelligence to hit long-range targets inside Russia, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal citing US officials. Washington has asked NATO allies to do the same. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Europe is facing the greatest security challenge since the end of World War II, and it must step up its response to Russian hybrid warfare during a meeting with EU leaders."
Russian forces captured 447 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory in September, a slowdown from July's peak of 634 square kilometres. Shelling near Slavutych cut external power to the decommissioned Chornobyl plant, endangering a new containment unit and prompting accusations of attempts to provoke a nuclear incident; the attack also left over 3,000 people in Chernihiv without power. Diplomatic and security moves include Zelenskyy's planned meeting with 50 leaders in Copenhagen, a meeting between Russian and North Korean defence ministers, French arrests aboard a tanker linked to Russia's shadow fleet, and a US commitment to provide intelligence for long-range strikes inside Russia. European leaders debated using frozen Russian assets for a €140bn loan to Kyiv, and a Polish court kept a Ukrainian suspect in custody over the Nord Stream investigation.
