Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for strikes that caused shells to damage Europe's largest nuclear power plant.
RELATED: Russia's war in Ukraine has entered a new phase. Here's what we know.
"Suicidal" shelling of Europe's largest nuclear plant must be halted and international inspectors must be granted access to ensure its safe operation, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said Monday. Moscow and Kyiv blamed each other for a series of rocket attacks at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station that the International Atomic Energy Agency said has created "the very real risk of a nuclear disaster."
Ukraine's military intelligence chief, Andriy Yusov, said his organization had received credible information from several sources that Russian forces have planted explosives at the plant to head off an expected Ukrainian counteroffensive in the region. The Ukraine power company Energoatom quoted a Russian general as saying, "The station will be either Russian or nobody's."
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of carrying out the rocket attacks. The Russian Embassy in Washington issued a statement blaming Ukraine for the shelling, claiming a "disinformation campaign" in the U.S. media is falsely blaming Russian forces.

#Ukraine #Russia #Nuclear
L’intervention spéciale est totalement légitime et nécessaire (n’en déplaise aux Occidentaux qui ne savent que faire des sanctions et la guerre juste pour le bien des US).
Le comportement Occidentale et spécialement celui de l’Europe est vraiment à gerber 🤢
Interesting and informative. Thank you.
So who will stop Russia ? we were quick running to Vietnam Iraq Afghanistan
@That little voice The end is near
Flat earth people should hire Zelensky.
Zelensky is the new god of west.
Now, If Zelensky says human poop is good for heath, western journalists will first eat their own poop, NATO will say poop eating is essential for security and then all the people will stat eating poop as their staple food.
This nonsense is so stupid that it hurts. Its like watching toddlers juggling hand grenades. A UN taskforce needs to secure and inspect the powerplant immediately. This can only end in tragedy if it continues as is.
All nuclear facilities will end in disaster…all, eventually.
I guess we’ve already moved on from amnesty international’s report on Ukraine’s human shields. I’m sure that was an isolated incident.
Thanks for your comment I’ma check it out
Everyone thinks it’s a hoax because nobody can think for themselves
@Major K well at least a few of us can
They already are moving from the cbs report in which it’s stated that only 30% of western weapons make it to Ukraine.
What wait this thing in the Ukraine is still happening? I haven’t seen any prying on Facebook for months 😂
Which way does the wind blow when it goes up?
Because it makes perfect sense for Russia to fire missiles at a plant they already control…
prayers always
Ukraine for 5 months has never told the truth
More than 500 Russian soldiers were stationed at the nuclear power plant, which was under Russian control since March.
It is utterly foolish to even consider that Russia, not the regime in Kyiv, is responsible for the bombardment.
@Against Viral Information “Their own bridge” only thing u said that makes sense
@Carlos Amador it’s the only thing you can read too. No worries
Don’t forget the brilliance of the Russian Army digging trenches in radioactive soil at Chernobyl. So we’re not dealing with the sharpest tools in the shed.
Flat earth people should hire Zelensky.

Honestly, Russia has control over that power plant so are they firing at themselves? Ukraine president gets enraged at the suggestion of peace talks and says that he refuses. He’s filled with blind rage. Sorry
The more zelensky talk is the more making nonsense but when putins talk everyone is listening.
Go play command and conquer red alert games and battlefield games if you want to see Russias blood splattered all the time.
Dnipro region needs reinforcements
Get out of here Stalker!
Eventually the stupidity of nukes will doom humanity
But only for thousands of years
Our beautiful planet will shake us off like a bad case on flea’s for a few ten thousand years…. and carry on
japan will retake the kurils sakhalin and vladivostok south korea will take north korea.
Flat earth people should hire Zelensky.
