We should expect to see the group back in action again, perhaps in Bakhmut if Ukraine is successful at encircling the city.A survival horror video game that has seemingly been stuck in early access since time immemorial, it's a testament to the addictive gameplay loop of 7 Days to Die that the game is still one of the most popular multiplayer games on Steam that people are still hooked onto to this day. Wagner needs to rest and recuperate after the extended Bakhmut battle. It may not be the case, however, that Mr Prigozhin is losing power by not being Mr Putin's favoured mercenary group. Now Chechen mercenaries are leading Russia's offensive in the Donbas - the area the country continues to focus on as its "main effort".īut the Chechen army has not made any progress - the frontline they are fighting has not moved since 2015.īy using other military groups, Mr Putin starves Mr Prigozhin of employment, money and influence.īut Mr Putin is also starved of Wagner's success. Wagner's leader Yevgeny Prigozhin - who described his mercenaries as the "best army in the world" - delivered success where the Russian army failed.Īnd so Mr Prigozhin's influence became a threat to Mr Putin. Military analyst Sean Bell says the success of the Wagner Group resulted in friction between the mercenaries and the regular Russian army. Senior officers within the military group continue to use high-profile military events, including the dam blast, to criticise Russian defence forces, according to the Institute of the Study of War. The tensions between Vladimir Putin and the Wagner Group continue to rise. This pond can keep the nuclear plant cool for several months, the head of the UN's nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, has said previously.īut he told Sky News yesterday: "Certainly there is a danger, perhaps in a few weeks or months, but something needs to be done."Įnergoatom's spokesperson said the plant's reactors were in cold shutdown, but a nuclear expert said on Tuesday they were not the "main risk" posed by declining water levels.Ĭhair of the Nuclear Consulting Group, Paul Dorfman, said he was concerned for the plant's nuclear waste cooling ponds, which could "release significant radiation pollution" if water levels at the Kakhovka reservoir dropped too low for too long. They told NBC a separate cooling pond is at 16.6m and is "enough to meet the needs of the plant". Plant operator insists there is 'enough' waterīut a spokesperson for Energoatom, which operates the nuclear power plant, dismissed the report and said the water level is stable, citing a height of 12.9m at the reservoir this morning at 11am. He told Interfax the dam was "destroyed to the very base" and forecasted the water level will drop to 3m - the height of the Dnipro river before the dam was constructed. Ihor Syrota, head of Ukrhydroenergo, which operates the Khakovka reservoir, said the water level was 12.5m high this evening - below the 12.7m "dead point" when pumps stop being able to draw water to serve the six nuclear reactors and nuclear waste at the Zaporizhzhia power station. The energy companies running the dam and the plant appear to disagree on the consequences for the Zaporizhzhia power station after the dam breach at Khakovka earlier this week. Has the water level at the Khakovka reservoir fallen too low to cool Europe's largest nuclear power plant?
