Power supply to Zaporizhzhia NPP restored: Line damaged by Russian shelling reconnected
Zaporizhzhia NPP can now receive electricity from both main and backup lines

Ukrenergo repair crews have restored the reliability of power supply to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: the 330 kV high-voltage overhead line Zaporizhzhia TPP – Ferrosplavna has been put into operation, Ukrenergo's press service reported.

On August 23, Energoatom reported that Russian shelling the day before had damaged a power line through which the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP received electricity from the Ukrainian power system.

The damage to the line put the ZNPP on the brink of a blackout.

Repair crews were ready to start restoration work promptly but were waiting for military permission. Currently, ZNPP can receive electricity from both the main and backup lines.

Since the beginning of the Russian occupation, the Zaporizhzhya NPP has experienced eight complete blackouts and one partial blackout when emergency diesel generators and safety systems were activated.

Kazakhstan to Lukashenko: mind your own business
Astana rejects Belarussian leader’s criticism over Russia-Ukraine war stance.

Belarus’ dictator, Aleksandr Lukashenko, recently called out Kazakhstan for not being sufficiently supportive of Russia’s efforts to militarily bludgeon Ukraine into submission. Kazakh officials did not take kindly to such criticism.

Lukashenko took a not-so-veiled swipe at Kazakhstan’s stance on the Russia-Ukraine war during an interview broadcast on Russian television on August 15, casting Astana as a pacifist observer. He also hinted that Kazakhstan was insufficiently grateful for the political support that Moscow has provided in the past and may provide in the future. Russian forces helped quell upheaval in early 2022 in Kazakhstan, a bout of violence now commonly referred to as the January events.

“The time is not far off when you will come to Russia and ask for support and help. There is no one else to ask,” Lukashenko said in the interview, making an apparent reference to Kazakhstan.

The Kazakh Foreign Ministry summoned the Belarusian ambassador to explain Lukashenko’s unwelcome intervention. During the August 21 meeting in Astana, Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu reminded the Belarusian ambassador, Pavel Utyupin, that Kazakhstan pursues “a peaceful foreign policy based on the principles of the UN and international law,” the press service of the Kazakh Foreign Ministry reported.

Ukrainian forces storm penal colony in Kursk Oblast where Ukrainian prisoners were held, human rights activists say
Ukrainian forces are trying to seize a women's penal colony in the village of Malaya Loknya in Russia's Kursk Oblast, where Ukrainian prisoners were held, Media Initiative for Human Rights reported on Aug. 23.

Ukraine started its incursion into Russia's Kursk Oblast on Aug. 6. As of Aug. 20, the Ukrainian military said it controlled 1,263 square kilometers (488 square miles) and 93 settlements, including the town of Sudzha.

The seizure of the penal colony will be an important step in documenting war crimes committed by Russia against prisoners of war, human rights activists said.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, one of the main places where Ukrainian prisoners were held was a detention center in the city of Kursk, according to the Media Initiative for Human Rights.

Subsequently, the organization found that female prisoners were also taken to the women's penal colony in Malaya Loknya, which is designed to hold over 200 people. In the fall of 2022, more than 50 captured military and civilian women were held there, the Media Initiative for Human Rights said.

The human rights organization documented the testimonies of several prisoners held in this colony. They mentioned that physical force and humiliation were used against them, which led to significant health problems.

Former prisoners also said that they could not remember the wardens or the administration of the colony because they hid their faces and did not allow prisoners to raise their heads when the staff entered the cell.

The penal colony in Malaya Loknya served as a temporary detention facility before prisoner exchanges, with prisoners held there up to several months, the Media Initiative for Human Rights said, citing witnesses.
