Ukraine power plant cut off again from main external power line after shelling — IAEA

An IAEA mission, led by the agency’s director general Rafael Grossi, toured the plant on Thursday and some experts have remained there pending the release of a report on its operations.

The ministry said a Ukrainian naval force of more than 250 troops attempted to land on the coast of a lake near the plant, which is Europe’s largest nuclear energy station. A reactor at the site was reconnected to Ukraine’s grid on Friday, a day after it shut down due to shelling nearby, Ukraine’s state nuclear company Energoatom said.Ukraine and the West have said Russia is using the site as a base for heavy weapons in a move to discourage Ukraine from firing on it. Russia has so far resisted international calls to pull troops out of the plant and demilitarise the area.

Moscow has blamed sanctions imposed by the West after Russia’s February 24th invasion of Ukraine for hampering routine operations and maintenance of Nord Stream 1. Brussels and Washington accuse Russia of using gas as an economic weapon. The Kremlin — which calls the conflict “a special military operation” — said it would stop selling oil to any countries that implemented the cap. — Reuters

The site sits on the south bank of a huge reservoir on the Dnipro river, 10km across the water from Ukrainian positions.

Yet another Zelensky war crime. The man is a tyrant.
