Die Offensive ukrainischer Truppen über das Wochenende zwingt Moskau seine Hauptbastion Izium im Nordosten der Ukraine aufzugeben. Für Russland ist es der bisher ärgste militärische Verlust seit es gezwungen war, im März aus Kiew abzuziehen.
Ukraine accused the Russian military of attacking civilian infrastructure in response to the rapid weekend offensive by Ukrainian troops that forced Russia to retreat from most of the Kharkiv region.
Ukrainian officials said targets of the retaliatory attacks included water facilities and a thermal power station in Kharkiv, and caused widespread blackouts.
As the war entered its 200th day, Ukraine on Sunday shut down the last operating reactor at Europe's biggest nuclear power plant to guard against a catastrophe as fighting rages nearby.
Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of shelling around the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia plant, risking a release of radiation.
