Did you miss the latest events on the war in Ukraine? Do not panic, 20 minutes takes stock for you every evening at 7:30 p.m. Who did what ? Who said what? Where are we ? The answer below:
The fact of the day
The Ukrainian nuclear operator has accused the new Ukrainian director of the Zaporozhye power plant, appointed the day before by Russia, of being a “traitor” for having agreed to collaborate with Moscow. “Yurii Chernichuk, [jusque-là] deputy chief engineer of the power plant, who performed his duties during the war, betrayed Ukraine and went over to the side of the enemy,” the head of Energoatom Petro Kotin lamented in a statement on Thursday.
“Instead of doing everything possible to free the plant as soon as possible, he decided to help the Russian occupiers to legalize their criminal appropriation [du site] and now encourages other employees to do so,” he said.
Yuriï Tchernitchouk, a Ukrainian engineer who was already working in the plant, was immediately “dismissed”. A decision that will have no impact in practice, the site being under the control of Russian forces.
sentence of the day
Regarding these attempts to create courts, they will have no legitimacy, we will not accept them and we will condemn them. »
These are the words of the spokesman of the Russian presidency. Dmitri Peskov reacted on Thursday to the fact that Brussels declared itself in favor of the creation of a tribunal to judge “crimes of aggression by Russia” in Ukraine.

The trend of the day
More commitment for kyiv and less missiles for Moscow. kyiv has once again called, through the voice of its head of diplomacy, on the European Union to sanction the Russian missile production industry. “I thanked the EU for its continued defense assistance and underlined that future EU sanctions should include […] the Russian missile production industry: we must put an end” to this production, urged Dmytro Kouleba, after a meeting with his European counterpart, on the sidelines of a meeting of the Organization for the Security and cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Lodz (Poland).
On November 24, the latest massive Russian missile strikes left entire regions cold and dark, including the capital kyiv. The Ukrainian authorities fear that new Russian bombardments will considerably worsen the energy situation. And as severe power cuts affect millions of Ukrainians every day, Dmytro Kouleba hammered home on Twitter: “Josep Borrell and I agree: total war [de la Russie] against Ukraine means full support for Ukraine. »
