Europe’s officials accuse Russia of weaponizing gasoline after it cut off a major pipeline, claiming that the oil supply won’t be restored until the sanctions imposed on Russia for its war in Ukraine are lifted. This occurs while warfare threatens the largest nuclear power facility in Europe, located in Ukraine.
The word “fire” is the last thing you want to hear at a nuclear power plant. This, however, occurred in Zaporizhia during relentless shelling.
Energoatum, the Ukrainian energy agency, stated that it intentionally disconnected the plant from the grid so that the fire could be extinguished.
The station is seized by Russia, but Ukrainian technicians operate it. There are presently two permanent IAEA inspectors stationed at the facility.
However, in Ukraine, irritation with the UN monitor is building, and state nuclear chief Petro Kotin desires solutions.
“This mission must produce at least some viable outcomes. It should be more than merely “worry” “Kotin said that United Nations peacekeepers should also be stationed at the facility.
A tremendous battle is being waged to retake the Russian-occupied southern city of Kherson.
Ukraine has intensified its counteroffensive, planting its flag over two liberated settlements over the weekend, as it gains confidence as a result of the steady influx of western supplies.
The alarming developments in Zaporizhzhya occur on the eve of a briefing for the United Nations Security Council. Inspectors will report on their findings from last week’s assessment of the nuclear reactor.
