Since dawn, Moscow's troops"shelled Energodar with mortars and used automatic weapons and rockets," Mayor Dmytro Orlov said on Telegram, publishing photos of damaged buildings in the Russian-occupied territory with smoke spiralling above them.
"My mission is to prevent a nuclear accident and preserve the largest nuclear power plant in Europe," IAEA director general Rafael Grossi told reporters."We are going to try to establish a permanent presence for the agency," he added. Conditions at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Europe's largest, have been unravelling for weeks with Moscow and Kyiv trading blame for nearby shelling and fuelling fears of a radiation disaster.
The general staff of Ukraine's armed forces reported fighting near the plant and further afield along front lines in the east and south.A video released by the regional administration showed workers in protective suits and breathing masks using radiation detecting devices on cars and people. Pro-Russian troops have focused on Bakhmut in their push to extend control over the Donbas region, Ukraine's industrial heartland in its east, the general staff added yesterday.Battlefield details could not be independently verified.
They better keep their heads down with all the Ukrainian shelling.
They are definitely going to find an issue and blame Russia 😏
So Russia invites the IAEA to the power plant and then bombs the power plant as the IAEA are about to arrive. That makes sense, 🙃. RTE cutting edge commentary as always. 😂😂😂
