The presence of the Russian military and their uncontrolled actions on the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant pose a threat not only to millions of Ukrainians, but to the whole world, therefore Ukraine called on the UN and the IAEA to send a security mission to the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant seized by the Russians. The corresponding appeal was published in his Telegram channel by the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Lubinets.

“I once again call on the UN Secretary General, the IAEA and the entire world community to take all possible measures to create a plant for the security mission at the Zaporozhye NPP, completely demilitarize the territory of the NPP and provide security guarantees to employees of the nuclear industry and residents of the city of Energodar to service the stations. Relevant letters have been prepared and sent today,” he said in a statement..

The Ombudsman emphasized that only resolute joint actions of the world community can counter nuclear terrorism.

“The devastating consequences of nuclear terrorism and the spread of radioactivity do not respect state borders, and radioactive emissions spread uncontrollably, the consequences of radioactive contamination remain for decades. I would like the whole world to hear the direct representative of the Russian Federation - the head of the military language of radiation, chemical and biological protection of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Valery Vasilyev, who made an appeal to his subordinates, repeating threats to resort to nuclear terrorism: “The enemy knows that the station will be either Russian. We are ready for the consequences of this step,” Lubinets quoted.

He recalled that the IAEA has already stated a violation of five of the semi-fundamental principles of nuclear safety, namely: the physical integrity of the facility, its permanent operability, stable personnel capable of working.

Recall that the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Energodar, Zaporozhye region, has been under Russian occupation since March.. On August 5-7, infidels fired several times at the industrial site of the nuclear power plant, damaging the high-voltage line of the autotransformer, the nitrogen-oxygen station and the combined auxiliary building. After the shelling, it was necessary to unload and turn off the fourth power unit.

The occupiers are purposefully destroying the station’s connections with the Ukrainian energy system in order to leave the south of Ukraine without electricity, explained at Energoatom.

The head of the IAEA, Rafael Mariano Grossi, called unacceptable hostilities nearby and directly on the territory of the nuclear power plant, the organization is ready to send a security mission, but the consent of Ukraine and the Russian Federation is required.

The night before, the commander of the Russian garrison at the ZNPP captured by Russian troops, Vasilyev, said that at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant “there will be either Russian land or a scorched desert”. Also, according to intelligence, the territory of the nuclear power plant may be mined, and individual employees of the plant are subjected to torture..
