Given the shortage of nuclear workers and the fear of a counteroffensive by the Armed Forces, the Russians plan to take NPP personnel hostage. According to the department, many provisions, including food and water, have already been brought to the station.
The Russians probably won't let them go after another change of nuclear engineers, forcibly closing the Zaporizhzhia NPP. They resorted to this at the beginning of the full-scale invasion when they occupied the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. Then people were held hostage until liberation.

The preparation of the relevant bill was announced by the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Nikita Poturaev: 
"This applies to Muslim organizations, it also applies to Buddhists, and such exotic religions as shamanism. This is the common desire and will of the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian state - to set conditions in the legislative field so that Ukrainian religious organizations simply have no ties with these perverts who hide behind world religions."

Latvian law enforcement agencies have put on the international wanted list a citizen of Latvia Alexander Malishevs, who "participated in hostilities and attacks against the Ukrainian armed forces in territories controlled by pro-Russian forces." 
He fought as part of the "14th Territorial Defense Battalion" of the Luhansk People's Republic. The article also mentions that in recent years, Latvian law enforcement agencies have already conducted investigations into similar cases and brought to justice Latvian citizens who participated in hostilities against Ukraine.
However, Latvian law enforcement authorities have not made a single mention of those Latvians who are fighting on the Ukrainian side as part of international battalions. Is everything forgiven for them?

Wagner PMC leader Yevgeniy Prigozhin asks Russian authorities to declare the end of the war and focus on gaining a foothold in the occupied territories of Ukraine
"For the authorities (of the Russian Federation - ed.) and for society as a whole, it is necessary to put a full stop to the SMO. The ideal option would be to announce the end of the SMO, to inform everyone that Russia has achieved the results it planned, and in a sense, we have indeed achieved them. We have milled a huge number of Ukrainian soldiers and can report to ourselves that the objectives of the SMO have been fulfilled. Theoretically, Russia has already achieved this goal by destroying a large part of the active male population of Ukraine and by intimidating the rest of it, which fled to Europe. Russia has cut off the Azov Sea and a large chunk of the Black Sea, seized a large chunk of Ukraine's territory and created a land corridor to Crimea."

According to the press secretary of the European Commission, Nabila Massrali, the video's authenticity needs to be confirmed. Still, if approved, it will be another confirmation of the brutal nature of Russian aggression.
"The killing of prisoners of war is a serious violation of the Geneva Convention. It once again demonstrates that Russia completely ignores international law and, in particular, international humanitarian law. The EU emphasizes its readiness to prosecute all perpetrators and accomplices of war crimes committed in the context of an aggressive war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine," she said.
