Informe de situación - día 201
September 12, 2022 - Una ofensiva de fin de semana de las tropas ucranianas obligó a Moscú a abandonar su bastión principal Izium en el noreste de Ucrania, la peor derrota militar de Rusia desde que sus tropas furon rechazadas de la capital ucraniana, Kiev, en marzo.
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.
