According to Reuters, after the 1986 accident, Chernobyl employees were recruited into KGB agents.

One of the interlocutors also said that Russia began sending undercover agents to Ukraine in November 2021.

In particular, it is planned to send the Imperial Legion to Ukraine to participate in hostilities, said Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar.
"The special cynicism of the Russian propaganda narratives lies in the fact that in order to implement the goals of the "special military operation" and "denazification" of Ukraine officially declared by the leadership of the Russian Federation, forces are involved that openly profess neo-Nazi ideology and are included in the list of especially dangerous terrorist organizations," Malyar stressed.

Ukraine has used its new long-range artillery to damage at least three bridges across the Dnieper River, on which Russian supplies to the occupied territories depend. Thus, the Antonovsky bridge near Kherson was damaged last week, and after the second strike of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on July 27, it is very likely now unusable.

08:41 Zelensky congratulated Ukrainians on Statehood Day:
08:30 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that the Russians can probably only carry out two significant offensive operations in Ukraine - on Seversk and Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. These operations have been offensively focused since the end of the operational pause on 16 July.
Analysts note that the Russians have committed sufficient resources to carry out near-daily ground attacks and capture territory along these two fronts, but have not been able to maintain the same pace of advance or achieve similar territorial gains elsewhere in Ukraine. Thus, the Russian offensive is likely to culminate before it captures other major urban areas in Ukraine.
ISW experts also report that Ukrainian forces could launch a local counterattack southwest of Izyum. Russian troops attacked settlements east of Seversk, northeast and southeast of Bakhmut. Ground fighting continues north of Kharkov.
08:26 The invaders made an unsuccessful attempt to advance in the direction of Vladimirovka - Soledar and Stryapovka - Soledar, the General Staff said in the morning report .

08:12 The mayor of Chuguev, Galina Minaeva, reported attacks on various microdistricts of the city. There are damaged residential buildings, information about the victims is being specified.
07:37 In the Dnipropetrovsk region, the Russians fired at the settlements of the Zelenodolsk and Apostolovsk communities from Hurricanes and cannon artillery, said the head of the OVA Valentin Reznichenko. There is destruction, but no people were hurt.
06:41 Russians fired at Kharkiv with S-300 missiles twice during the night. One shelling was closer to the center, the second - in one of the districts adjacent to it, Mayor Igor Terekhov said. As a result, two small fires started, which have already been extinguished. There is no information about the victims at the moment.
06:35 OK Pivnich reported that from 5:20 to 6:30 the enemy launched more than 20 missiles from the territory of Belarus.
06:18 The head of the Chernihiv OVA, Vyacheslav Chaus, said that there is preliminary information about the hit of enemy missiles near Goncharovsky, air defense is also working.
06:01 The enemy launched a missile attack on one of the communities of the Vyshgorod district, said the head of the Kiev OVA Alexei Kuleba. An infrastructure object was shelled, information about the victims is being specified. Emergency services are on site.
