EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell Demands IAEA Access to Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, where the situation has escalated to critical over the past two days. Borrell wrote about this on his Twitter page..

" This is a serious and irresponsible violation of nuclear safety rules and another example of Russia's disregard for international norms.. The IAEA must gain access (to the nuclear power plant, - ed.. ),” he said..

Recall that on August 5, the occupiers fired at the nuclear power plant twice.. For the second time, three “arrivals” were recorded right at the station site, near one of the power units with a nuclear reactor.

Subsequently, the situation escalated even more. As a result of the shelling, the fourth block was disconnected from the power system.

The Russians also brought an unknown cargo to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, it is possible to mine the plant.

Earlier, the United States demanded the immediate removal of rocket launchers and other weapons from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.. The behavior of the Russian Federation at the ZNPP violates international humanitarian law, which prohibits both attacks on nuclear power plants and the use of these facilities as human shields in order to avoid enemy attacks or reprisals.

The IAEA itself recently issued a statement in which it states that the occupied Zaporozhye nuclear power plant is out of control.

We also recall that earlier the Ukrainian side objected to the visit of the IAEA to the ZNPP, which believes that in this way attempts are being made to legalize the presence of Russians at the plant.

Energoatom insists that the IAEA is under very great influence of Russia.

However, now the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, is demanding that experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspect the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Energodar.
