Zaporizhia and Yuzhnoukrainsk nuclear power plants are out of danger, Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to the head of the President's Office, has said.

"The cities of Zaporizhia and Enerhodar are under the control of the Ukrainian society and the military. The cities are ready for defense. The nuclear power plants are out of danger. This applies to Yuzhnoukrainsk and Zaporizhia nuclear power plants in Enerhodar. That is, there is no cause for alarm now," Arestovych said at a briefing at the President's Office on Thursday.

According to recent information, on the night of 3 March, the enemy launched missile strikes throughout Ukraine, in particular against Kyiv, Kharkiv and Zhytomyr. "This tactic is an intimidation of local residents, an attempt to break us psychologically," the adviser to the President's Office head said.

In the direction of Chernihiv and Sumy, the enemy is stopped. At the same time, separate units of the Russian Federation troops try to settle down on the routes not occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and move towards Kyiv. The situation is under control.

In Kharkiv, the enemy continues its offensive from the western direction, but suffers losses.

"The pace of the offensive has now slowed down considerably," Arestovych said.

In the JFO zone, the Armed Forces of Ukraine hold the main positions. Reinforcement of Ukrainian servicemen on the outskirts of Horlivka continues.

In the direction of Kherson-Mykolaiv, Russian military during the second 24 hours make attempts to advance.

The situation in Odesa and Mariupol is controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and local authorities.
