Overview

• The site entered a fifth day on emergency diesel after the last external line was damaged on the Russian-held side on Tuesday, and power has not been restored despite IAEA chief Rafael Grossi meeting Vladimir Putin.
• Russian operators told the IAEA diesel stocks could sustain generators for roughly 20 days, far beyond the 72-hour loss-of-power period used in European stress tests.
• Russian-installed plant managers blame shelling for complicating repairs to the cut line about a mile from the facility, while Ukraine denies firing near the plant.
• Greenpeace Ukraine’s satellite analysis points to new 125-mile power links and a rebuilt water supply that could enable connection to Russia’s grid and a potential reactor restart.
• A joint Truth Hounds–Greenpeace report alleges Rosatom’s complicity in detentions and torture of staff, citing at least 226 unlawful detentions and six deaths that the groups say undermine nuclear safety.
