Volodymyr Zelenskyy is "very conscious" about losing the moral high ground in the war, and is being "very good" at not using Western weapons to attack Russia, a former military official has said. Many Western analysts have said Poland does not need to worry about an attack, with Belarusian forces lacking sufficient military capacity. "In many ways, God helps those who help themselves". "They've had a very long, rather tricky relationship with Belarus," he added. He explained Poland is rearming at the moment, and are assessing a "rather dangerous frontier province" with Belarus. They're being cautious," Lieutenant General Sir Simon Mayall, the former deputy chief of the defence staff, told Sky News. "I wouldn't say they've been overcautious. The decision came after concerns were raised about hundreds of Russian mercenary Wagner fighters arriving in Belarus last month, with the country's president stating on multiple occasions he was stopping them from attacking Poland.
The country is set to send up to 10,000 troops to bolster border defences and "scare away" potential attackers. Poland is being "cautious" by sending troops to the Belarusian border, a former military official has said.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has been trying to set up a safety mechanism to prevent accidents, and has carried out inspections of the plant in recent months to ensure a sabotage attack was not being planned. Numerous concerns have been raised about its safety, with both sides blaming each other for attacking the area around it and risking a nuclear disaster. The plant has been occupied by Russia since the early days of the war and has become one of the focal points of the conflict. "Such a regime is difficult for the reactor plant, its duration is limited by the project's design and it can result in failure of the main equipment of the energy unit," it said on Telegram. The facility, which is the largest in Europe, was on the verge of a blackout and had less than half of its power capacity before the change was made, state-owned energy company Energoatom said. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has lost connection to is last main external power line and has been switched to a reserve source, Ukraine has said.
