“Avoid another Chernobyl” –

Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Tajani raises the alarm. «We must try to create a free zone around Zaporizhzhia. The nuclear power plant represents an opportunity but also a risk. It is good that the forces in the field do not fight around or inside the plant because we must avoid another Chernobyl. Let’s hope common sense always prevails.” Thus the foreign minister, Antonio Tajani, on the sidelines of an electoral meeting in Matera.

But where does it come from? A series of attacks in the area of ​​the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant reopen the risk of a nuclear accident. “Three people were killed and three wounded in the Pologivskyi district” of Zaporizhzhia, the governor of the region Ivan Federov wrote on social media, while another six people were injured following another Russian missile attack that hit an industrial plant in southern city of Ukraine, the governor added. Another drone was shot down on the roof of the number six reactor of the nuclear power plant. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has condemned a drone strike on one of six nuclear reactors at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine. “This cannot happen,” Director General Rafael Grossi wrote in a social media post, adding: “No one can benefit or gain any military or political advantage from attacks against nuclear facilities. This is not possible. The Kremlin continues to blame Ukraine for the attacks on the plant, calling them “very dangerous”, but a senior Ukrainian intelligence officer has denied Kiev’s involvement. »We need to create a free zone around Zaporizhzhia, the nuclear power plant represents an opportunity, but also a risk. It is good that the forces in the field do not fight around or inside the plant, another Chernobyl must be avoided, said the Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani. Russia has struck up to 80% of Ukraine’s conventional power plants and half of Ukraine’s hydroelectric plants in recent weeks, in the heaviest attacks since the war began, according to Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko. «Up to 80% of thermal production was attacked. More than half of hydroelectric production and a large number of substations,” Galushchenko told reporters in Kiev. “This is the largest attack on Ukraine’s energy sector” since the start of the war, the Ukrainian minister said, adding that he suspects Russia has modified its weapons to now use drones and Iranian-style explosive missiles that cause more damage with each attack. And while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov flies on a mission to Beijing, Kiev continues to appeal to its allies to continue to support Ukraine militarily. «We are running out of supplies of missiles to counter attacks from the sky by Russian fighters, including deadly laser-guided bombs», is the Ukrainian request which continues to hope for help from its allies and is counting on the 60 billion dollars in aid still frozen by the American Congress. But the Washington Post reveals an alleged secret plan by Donald Trump to end the conflict if he were re-elected to the White House: Kiev, according to the Trump plan, should cede Crimea and the entire Donbass to Moscow, the newspaper reveals. Disturbing prospect for Kiev.
