Ukraine news LIVE: Vladimir Putin’s troops launch MISSILES at nuclear power plants in retaliation for humiliating losses

VLADIMIR Putin’s twisted forces have fired missiles at multiple Ukrainian nuclear power stations in an overnight blitzkrieg. Local officials claim Russia fired eight missiles on Zaporizhzhia city, following Putin’s army suffering heavy losses from Ukraine’s counterattack. As reported by the Kyiv Independent, Zaporizhzhia oblast governor Oleksandr Starukh said eight projectiles targeted infrastructure facilities in the area. Meanwhile, troops hit the Pivdennoukrainsk plant in Mykolaiv region – with an explosion seen just 300 yards away from the plant’s nuclear reactors. It comes after Ukraine’s hero president Volodymyr Zelensky last night vowed to keep pushing back against Moscow, saying: “Perhaps it seems to some of you that after a series of victories we now have a lull of sorts,” he said in his regular nightly address. “But there will be no lull. There is preparation for the next series … For Ukraine must be free. All of it.” Read our Ukraine-Russia blog below for the latest updates…
