Zelensky urged the world to force the occupiers to leave the ZPEU, "until the wind began to spread the radiation in Europe"

Video of the Day ". . . If diesel generators did not get involved if the automatics and our station staff did not work after the blackout, we would have already been forced to overcome the effects of a radiation accident. Russia has put Ukraine and all Europeans a step from a radiation disaster, ”Zelensky stressed. He called for international pressure, which would force the Russians to leave the Zaporizhzhya NPP, and stated that IAEA and other international organizations should act much faster.

"It is easier to do this [to provide IAEA access to the NPP and return the station under control of Ukraine] now, if the wind begins to spread radiation pollution by Europe," Zelensky added. On August 25, Zaporizhzhya NPP was disconnected from the energy network for the first time in its history due to the actions of Russian invaders. The largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhzhya NPP, Russian invaders were captured after battles in Energodar on March 4.

The buildings were damaged by Russian shelling in several places, and the staff of the station were captured. The Kremlin uses the Zaporozhye NPP to cover its military equipment because the Armed Forces cannot open fire in the area of ​​the power plant, as well as for pressure on Ukraine and the world, threatening a nuclear disaster. Russian troops have equipped fire positions for the ZPP and fired from there Ukrainian cities.

Energoatom reported that the military of the Russian Federation had placed in the machine hall of the first power unit of Zaporizhzhya NPP at least 14 units of heavy military equipment with ammunition, weapons and explosives. On August 22, the invaders brought additional APCs and special cargoes to the station repair area. In total, more than 40 units of military equipment of Russians have been stationed in the station.

In recent weeks, the invaders have repeatedly arranged provocations with shelling. Energoatom reported that Russia is preparing to disconnect the Zaporizhzhya NPP from the power system of Ukraine in the near future. On August 16, the head of the Zaporizhzhya Ova Alexander Starukh called on the residents of the temporarily captured energy to evacuate through the shelling of Russia of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant.

He stated that in the event of an accident, about 400,000 people from two regions would have to be evacuated. Ukraine calls for the IAEA and the UN as soon as possible to send an international mission to the Zaporozhye NPP. During a meeting with the UN Secretary General Anthony, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed with him a nuclear threat that the Russian army provoked with him at the Zaporozhye NPP. The UN is ready to support any MAA's mission at the Zaporozhye NPP sent through Kyiv.
