Russia-Ukraine war live updates: Operation of Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine fully stopped

UK military intelligence: Russia is pursuing a deliberate misinformation strategy as it seeks to deflect blame for food insecurity issues, discredit Ukraine & minimise opposition to its invasion

Kyiv on Wednesday called for residents of Russian-occupied areas around the plant, Europe's largest, to evacuate for their own safety.

Russian shelling on Saturday on Kharkiv city's Kholodnogirskiy district had left at least one person dead and two injured, the head of the region, Oleg Synegubov, said.

Russian forces were still inflicting serious damage with a campaign of shelling in Kharkiv city and the industrial region of Donbas in the east.

Observers expect Ukrainian forces to make further gains in the Kharkiv region, which borders Russia and has been either controlled by Moscow-backed authorities or shelled by its artillery for months.

"A decision was made to regroup Russian troops stationed in the Balakliya and Izyum regions to bolster efforts along the Donetsk front," Russia's defence ministry said in a statement.

Moscow's announcement late Saturday of the pullback alongside Kyiv's claim to have entered the town of Kupiansk are the most significant shifts in battlefield dynamics after months of fighting in eastern Ukraine that has been dominated by Moscow.

A Ukrainian official said Kyiv's troops were closing in on the eastern city of Lysychansk, captured by Russian troops after fierce artillery battles in July.

A Moscow-backed separatist leader in the east said Russian forces were fighting "difficult" battles against Kyiv's troops in several parts of eastern Donetsk region.
