West to bolster Ukraine air defense; nuclear plant suffers ‘blackout’

LA Times  

A Russian serviceman guards part of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine on May 1. Unbowed Western powers pledged to supply Ukraine with more potent air defense systems following a furious barrage of retaliatory Russian missile strikes, including one that temporarily knocked Europe’s biggest nuclear plant off the invaded country’s electrical grid Wednesday. The Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant suffered a “blackout” when a missile damaged a distant electrical substation, Ukraine’s state nuclear operator said. Moscow’s main domestic security agency said it arrested eight people — five Russians and three citizens of Ukraine and Armenia — over the blast on the Kerch Bridge between Russia and Crimea. Ukrainian Defense Ministry spokesman Andriy Yusov denied the accusation that his country was involved, telling reporters, “The entire activity of the FSB and the Investigative Committee is nonsense.” Zelensky’s office said in a morning update that strikes on central and western parts of Ukraine had ceased but Russian shelling and attacks involving drones, heavy artillery and missiles continued in eight southeast regions.
