On July 4th, Kasia A, general manager of the Russian Atomic Energy and Electric Power Company, said that the Ukrainian army would launch an attack on the Zaborozh nuclear power plant on the night of July 5th local time. According to him, Ukraine will adopt a three-round attack mode. The first round is a military drone, the second round is a dot -U short-range missile with radioactive nuclear waste, and the third round is a fighter plane that launches high-precision weapons. For this possible action, the Russian intelligence department believes that the special air force is involved and guides the Ukrainians to carry out the attack.
Later, Ze lenski quoted the intelligence agency in a video on his social platform Telegram that day, saying that Russia had placed "explosives-like" items on the roof of the factory building of Zaporoze nuclear power plant. Zelensky said that Russia "either tried to simulate an attack on a nuclear power plant or had some other ideas". Once the explosive is detonated, the reactor will not be damaged, but it will create an illusion that the attack was initiated by Ukraine, and the Ukrainian army is ready to take action at any time.
In addition, Zelensky issued a separate statement on Twitter, saying that he told French President Macron in a telephone conversation that Russia was preparing for the "dangerous provocation" of the Zaporoge nuclear power plant. At the same time, he and Macron have agreed to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency to "control the situation to the maximum extent".
Zaporoge nuclear power plant is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. Shortly after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out in February 2022, Russia announced its control of the nuclear power plant. On September 1 1 day, 2022, the nuclear power plant was completely shut down. For more than a year, Russia and Ukraine have repeatedly accused each other of shelling the Zaporoze nuclear power plant and its surrounding areas, regardless of public safety and international security.
After the explosion of Kahovka Dam on June 6th, the safety of Zaporoge nuclear power plant has once again become the focus of attention. Representatives and experts of the International Atomic Energy Agency immediately went to the nuclear power plant to inspect, and then began to stay for a long time, rotating experts regularly.
Gross, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said on July 4th that the agency's representative would stay at the Zaporoge nuclear power plant. Gross responded to Uzbekistan's statement that employees of the nuclear power plant were ordered to evacuate: "We are not going anywhere, we are there." He stressed that the International Atomic Energy Agency learned about the situation of nuclear power plants from local representatives every day.
In addition, Gross reiterated that the IAEA considers the situation of the Zaporoze nuclear power plant "extremely fragile and dangerous". He said: "I have always had a clear position-nuclear power plants must not be attacked and nuclear power plants must not be used as military bases. The IAEA knows how to prevent nuclear accidents, and we also hope that all responsible persons can take corresponding actions to avoid catastrophic nuclear accidents. "
The International Atomic Energy Agency issued a statement on July 5, local time, saying that no traces of mines or other explosives were found at the Zaporoge nuclear power plant.
On the 7th local time, the International Atomic Energy Agency issued a statement saying that after obtaining more permits, the cooling pool of Zaporoze nuclear power plant was inspected in a wider scope, including the isolation door between the cooling pool of the nuclear power plant and Kakhovka reservoir. No mines or explosive devices have been found so far. In his statement, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Gross, reiterated that it is necessary for the experts of the inspection team to obtain permission to enter more areas such as the roofs and turbine halls of the No.3 and No.4 reactors to ensure that the nuclear power plants are free from the threat of explosion.
Now Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of occupying the moral high ground. After all, once the nuclear power plant is really blown up, it will be a real environmental disaster. Half of Europe is restless, and no one can afford this pot, and everyone wants to buckle this lavatory on the other side's head.
During the war, anything strange can happen. Even immoral things related to people's life and death can be done, so what is impossible to bomb nuclear power plants!
