Anticipatory lies.

russian propagandists are reporting about destroyed M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and Leopard 2A4 tanks in the south of Ukraine.

#Ukraine informed IAEA that a back-up power line between #Zaporizhzhya NPP & a thermal power station was deliberately disconnected to extinguish a fire.
