The Zaporiza nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant controlled by the Russian military, has been bombarded with large and small shells recently.
It is known that the reserve support system of the nuclear power plant was also damaged by the bombardment.
A catastrophe called a radioactive material leak might occur, so the international community has embarked on mediation.

“If Russia’s nuclear threat continues, this summer will go down in history as one of the most tragic in European history.”
As Ukraine and Russia continue to compete for power over the Zaporiza nuclear power plant, the international community is also concerned regarding a second Chernobyl crisis.
French President Macron spoke to Putin for more than an hour yesterday local time to mediate, but it is reported that Putin claimed that “the risk of a major disaster is growing due to the systematic shelling of Ukraine.”
Russia said the two leaders had agreed to dispatch an International Atomic Energy Agency inspection team as soon as possible.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Zelensky met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Turkiye President Recep Typhoon Erdogan to agree on the implementation of nuclear power plants by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

“The Zaporiza nuclear power plant area needs to be demilitarized. Doing damage to the nuclear power plant is suicidal.”
Russia said, “Unless there are external factors, the inspection will most likely be in early September.”
However, there are voices of concern that Ukraine and Russia are running parallel to each other, raising theories of responsibility over nuclear safety issues, etc.
