The US has warned Russia against diverting energy from a nuclear plant that Ukraine said was cut off from its grid, as calls for an independent inspection of the facility mount

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is under occupation by Moscow's troops and was yesterday disconnected from the national power supply, the state energy operator said."The electricity that it produces rightly belongs to Ukraine and any attempt to disconnect the plant from the Ukrainian power grid and redirect to occupied areas is unacceptable," State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre urged Russia to agree to a demilitarised zone around the plant and"allow the IAEA to visit as soon as possible to check on the safety". Mr Zelensky said yesterday that he had spoken with Mr Biden and thanked him for the United States'"unwavering" support.

Ukraine state operator Energoatom said the Zaporizhzhiaplant was severed from the national network after a power line was twice disconnected by ash pit fires in an adjacent thermal power plant. However, the mayor of the city of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov said"Russian occupiers cut off the electricity in almost all occupied settlements of Zaporizhzhia".Meanwhile the death toll from an air strike on a train station in central Ukraine rose to 25, as the EU warned those"responsible for Russian rocket terror will be held accountable".

So, no one agrees with RTE then?

Russia replies 'Get Stuffed'

.

RTE were pushing the deranged story that the Russians were shelling this valuable plant they control in a pro Russian area for weeks and now they are giving out about the Russians not supplying electricity to their enemy they are fighting in the middle of a war.Illogical coverage

Hhhhhh US still thinking they are ruling the world?! Maybe Europe but not china or Russia

America is in no position to warn any country as they are directly responsible for this war which is resulting in the death and misery of thousands of innocent civilians. But then again that won't bother the Americans once the military industrial complex is making lots of money.

The US said...haha...is that the SAME US who has been thieving syrian oil for years?

'US warns', WTF are they going to do about it! Absolutely nothing except send more money to be washed through UKR and weapons that will be sold on the black market!

😂😂😂 Is that the same US who's been supplying the bombs used to target said nuclear power plant?

Play boy off the Western world
