The Kiev regime continues playing with fire by staging crude, irresponsible provocations at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. After a temporary cessation, Ukraine’s Armed Forces resumed artillery shelling of its territory inside the perimeter. The plant’s critical infrastructure and the lives and health of its workers have again come under threat.
On the evening of November 19, the plant’s territory was shelled by numerous artillery strikes with NATO 155 calibre munitions. The shelling continued on the following day, November 20 and hit, among other things, a nuclear waste storage facility.
Luckily, the plant avoided serious damage, and no radioactive material was exposed. But the situation was on the brink of a technogenic disaster.
From the very start of the attacks at the plant, we have maintained close contact with the IAEA Secretariat. As before, we sent all information about this latest attack, including photos and videos of the consequences of the shelling. We asked the Secretariat to inform the IAEA members about this immediately. The international community should know who stands behind the attacks. This is all the more important because Kiev propagandists are again making absurd claims that Russia is shelling its own position.
Kiev’s actions look particularly cynical because they followed almost immediately a regular session of the IAEA Board of Governors in Vienna that reviewed the situation on nuclear facilities in Ukraine. Finland and Canada timed the submission of another anti-Russia draft resolution at this session. This document makes no mention of the real source of these threats, Ukraine, that has been furiously and purposefully destroying the infrastructure of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant for some time.
In this way, Kiev’s Western sponsors have again showed their duplicity. They gave the Zelensky regime carte blanche to continue its senseless attempts to irreparably damage the plant. In fact, they are accomplices in Kiev-committed crimes that cannot be justified. It seems that, inspired by the limitless support of their Western curators, the Ukrainian authorities have no restraints at all. They do not even care about subjecting the lives of the IAEA representatives to a lethal threat. We are convinced that in such unprecedented circumstances, the top directors of the IAEA Secretariat must take a responsible position. As an authoritative and independent international body, it should stop denouncing the shelling of the plant and stop demanding it be stopped without naming the responsible party. It should clearly say who is to blame for these attacks.
It is time to call a spade a spade – otherwise it is impossible to stop these Ukrainian nationalists. This requires determination and responsibility. We hope these qualities will be displayed.
