Ukraine war: a summary of recent events

Ukraine war is continuing. After the agreement to unlock grain transportation in the Black Sea, tension is still escalating. Military activity near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine has caused increasing concern in recent days as cases of shelling rise and experts warn that the risks of a serious nuclear incident are very real. In the meantime, attacks on Russian military sites in Crimea show that Ukraine is refusing to resign itself and instead choosing a tactic that could force the hand of its aggressor. In the meantime economic sanctions continue and are now impacting the ordinary Russia population with travel restrictions in EU. Overall, the Russian economy is shrinking, but it’s not the only one.
