She declined to provide more details about the new offensive but said Ukraine\u2019s recent strikes on Russia\u2019s southern logistical routes had \u201cunquestionably weakened the enemy\u201d. Ukraine\u2019s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, added in a Monday evening address: \u201cIf they want to survive, it is time for the Russian military to flee. The occupiers should know: we will oust them to the border. To our border, the line of which has not changed.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kyiv\u2019s forces have broken through Russian defences in several sectors of the frontline near the city of Kherson<\/strong>, a senior adviser to Zelenskiy claimed. Oleksiy Arestovych said Ukrainian forces were also shelling the ferries in the Kherson region that Moscow is using to supply Russian-occupied territory on the west bank of the Dnieper river. A seperate Ukrainian military source told CNN that its forces have taken back four villages near the city of Kherson after breaking through the frontline in three places, with the main \u201ctarget\u201d being Kherson. The operation began with heavy shelling of Russian positions and the rear, forcing them to flee, the source was quoted as saying.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A Ukrainian barrage of rockets left the Russian-occupied town of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region without water or power<\/strong>, officials at the Russian-appointed local authority told Russia\u2019s RIA news agency. The town lies just to the east of the city of Kherson.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A team of inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog arrived in Kyiv on Monday night en route to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power<\/strong> <strong>plant<\/strong> in southern Ukraine. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief, Rafael Grossi, said a team will visit the plant from Wednesday to Saturday. \u201cWe must protect the safety and security of Ukraine\u2019s and Europe\u2019s biggest nuclear facility,\u201d Grossi tweeted. Missiles and shells are frequently hitting areas around the power station and nearby towns, prompting fears it may be too dangerous for the mission to proceed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Kremlin said the IAEA mission was \u201cnecessary\u201d<\/strong> but has ruled out vacating the site. Ukraine\u2019s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said Ukraineexpects the IAEA delegation to \u201cstate the facts\u201d regarding the violation of all nuclear safety protocols, adding that Russia \u201cis putting not only Ukraine but also the entire world at threat of risk of a nuclear accident\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Russian forces fired at Enerhodar, the city where the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is located<\/strong>, according to Ukraine\u2019s armed forces. Zelenskiy\u2019s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, also appeared to confirm the reports on his Telegram channel alongside a video of firefighters dousing burning cars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Russia is struggling to find more soldiers to fight in Ukraine<\/strong> and has expanded recruitment efforts by eliminating the upper age limit and by tapping into prisons. \u201cMany of these new recruits have been observed as older, unfit and ill-trained,\u201d a Pentagon official told journalists on Monday. Russia\u2019s president, Vladimir Putin, decreed last week that his army would increase by about 10%, to 1.15 million servicemen, starting January next year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ukrainian officials have warned politicians, experts and opinion leaders not to speculate about the progress of a military counteroffensive.<\/strong>Spokesperson for Ukraine\u2019s southern command, Nataliya Humenyuk, said the operation in Kherson needed \u201csilence\u201d as media attention could affect the results. Ukraine\u2019s presidential adviser, Mykhailo Podolyak, added it was necessary to wait for official statements from Ukraine\u2019s Ministry of Defence and army. \u201cI understand our wishes and dreams \u2026 But war is not \u2018content\u2019.
