Ukraine faces heightened Russian strikes as Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant rejoins grid

Ukraine is currently confronting intensified Russian aerial attacks, including ballistic missiles and new jet-engine drones that pose severe challenges to the country's air defense capabilities. Despite continuous bombardments and frequent air raid alarms in Kyiv, safety developments emerged at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed was reconnected to the electrical grid on Monday.

On the diplomatic front, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that representatives from Ukraine, the United States, and Europe plan to convene a meeting soon. Kremlin officials also hinted at the possibility of continuing peace negotiations.
