During the war in Ukraine, there were repeated dangerous attacks in the area of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant. The nuclear power plant was also the target of artillery fire over the weekend, followed by heavy explosions. After an on-site inspection by inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA on Monday, the organization provisionally gave the signal: the plant currently poses no risk to safety.
Although there is significant damage on the site of the power plant, the power plant infrastructure is not affected. IAEA Director Rafael Grossi spoke of the most serious incidents of recent months. “The status of the six reactor units is stable,” the Argentinian stressed.
French President Emmanuel Macron expressed concern about the situation in Zaporizhia in a telephone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Efforts should continue to establish a security zone around the facility in which attacks and fighting are avoided. Both agreed on this, according to a statement from the Élysée Palace on Monday.
Russia and Ukraine blame each other
Russia has effectively controlled Europe’s largest nuclear power plant since the beginning of March. The nuclear power plant was startled by dozens of grenade hits on Saturday and Sunday. The facility had come under fire several times in recent months. Ukraine and Russia blame each other for this.
