have found creative ways to skirt the new laws.

Ukraine Attacks Russian Defenses, Amid Rumors the Counteroffensive Has Begun.
On June 8, Ukrainian forces launched
an assault on Russian-held positions
in the south of Zaporizhzhia.
'The Guardian' reports that some officials in Ukraine
have said that the intense fighting marked the
beginning of Kyiv's anticipated counteroffensive.
Intense fighting, believed to include western-
supplied tanks, armored vehicles, infantry and
artillery, took place outside of the town of Tokmak. .
'The Guardian' reports that Ukrainian officials have
previously said that an official announcement would
not be made when the counteroffensive begins.
According to the Institute for the Study of War, , a U.S.-based thinktank closely following Russia's war against Ukraine, it is likely that the counteroffensive is underway.
Activity throughout Ukraine is consistent
with a variety of indicators that Ukrainian
counteroffensive operations
are under way across the theater, Institute for the Study of War, via Twitter.
The news comes following days of heavy shelling against
Russian defenses, with Ukrainian forces attempting to
block routes to the Russian-held city of Melitopol.

The ongoing battle between Russia and Ukraine has currently reached a very different dimension. More than the shelling, missiles and drone attacksā¦water, dam and floodings have taken the centre stage. This happened after a huge portion of a very crucial damā¦.the Nova Kakhovka dam on the Dnieper River..that is almost at the epicenter of the site of the present conflict.. has been blown up. Ukraine says that the dam has been sabotaged by the Russian forces..while Russia maintains that Kyivās shelling were responsible for the damās breach. The partial destruction of the dam has unleashed a torrent of water and Ukraine had issued an emergency flood alert yesterday. In this video, we explain to you the importance of this dam..what its breach currently mean..and how this might affect the ongoing battle. But before that, donāt forget to like, share and subscribe to Oneindia.

After the breach of the Kakhovka dam in the Kherson region, the safety of theZaporizhzhia nuclear power plant might be in trouble, if latest reports are to be believed. The cooling pond at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is in danger of collapse as a result of the destruction of the Kakhovka dam and the draining of its reservoir. Without the reservoir on the other side to counteract it, the internal pressure of the water in the cooling pool could breach the Dyke around it, a report by the Paris-based Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety has said. The IRSN report suggests that the integrity of the Dyke around the pond could be in danger of collapse even without Russian sabotage. However, the loss of the pool would not necessarily be catastrophic as other sources of water could be brought in, such as pumping trucks, to prevent a meltdown of the plantās nuclear fuel, but a loss of the cooling pool would dramatically increase safety concerns at the plant. Since the collapse of the Kakhovka dam this past Tuesday, its reservoir has been draining into the Dnipro River and the Black Seaā¦ and will soon drop below the water intakes quantity used to pump water. There are an array of spray ponds that are used to cool the reactor cores and spent fuel at the siteā¦ and the much bigger cooling pool is usually used as a water reserve.

A plan to fake a large-scale nuclear incident at the Zaporizhzhia power plant is in the works, the Ukrainian defence ministry has claimed. According to the ministry's intelligence, Russia is hatching a plan to "imitate" an accident at the plant "within hours" in order to use it as a strategic pause for regrouping and planning.
