Summary
A look back at the Khmelnytskyi agreement and two regional stories reported in the days before 23 November 2021.
What was on the regional agenda on 23 November 2021? One item was an agreement signed the previous day, 22 November, between the state company Energoatom and the American electrical company Westinghouse Electric. It covered the construction of two new nuclear power units at the Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant.
The deal came amid other regional developments reported in the preceding days.
Wagnergate investigation
On 17 November 2021, Bellingcat and The Insider published the first part of their own investigation into the affair known as Wagnergate.
Estonia's border measures
Also on 17 November 2021, Estonia summoned 1,700 reservists for a snap drill. The exercise was to include installing a 40-kilometre razor wire barrier along the border with Russia, as the migrant crisis between Belarus and the European Union intensified.
Together, the reports from those days showed an energy agreement in Ukraine alongside a published investigation and border preparations in Estonia.
