UKRAINE According to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian forces have retaken more than 6000 square kilometers from Russian control in September. Kyiv says that Russia has given up the idea of dispatching more troops to Ukraine and Zelensky makes an appeal to the West to step up armament deliveries to Ukraine, while the Ukrainian troops are trying to tighten control over a big portion of land retaken from Russia in the north-east. In another development, on Monday, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Grossi announced that Ukraine and Russia seem to be interested in the IAEA proposal to create a buffer zone around the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia, occupied by the Russian troops in March. Russia and Ukraine have been accusing each other of shelling Europe’s largest nuclear plant, which affected the buildings close to its 6 nuclear reactors, increasing the risk of a nuclear disaster.
