day 195 of war in Ukraine.

European leaders on Sunday sought to ease the impact of high energy prices across the continent. Outside the battlefield, gas, oil and coal are the priority before the arrival of winter.

Zaporizhia remains in focus. The nuclear plant continues to supply electricity to the grid through a standby line despite losing connection to the last main external power line. A Russian official assures the Reuters agency that the situation around the facility is calm, not without accusing the Ukrainian troops of trying to attack it two days in a row.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyin his daily message to his people, has praised his army’s counteroffensive and the taking of two positions in the south and east, without specifying the locations.

Ukraine began a counteroffensive in the south last week, particularly in the Kherson region, which has been in Russian hands since the start of the conflict. Russian troops have prohibited the movement of residents in this territory.

Russia has launched 25 missile strikes and more than 22 air strikes against military and civilian targets in Ukraine in the last 24 hours.
