Playing with fire! UN warns after russia attacks?...


United Nations (UN) chief of nuclear affairs, Rafael Grossi, has condemned the attacks on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant occupied by russia in Ukraine. Describing it as madness, he recommended to stop it immediately. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on sunday evening that the heavy shelling of Russian military strikes also hit some 400 eastern regions of Ukraine. There was fierce ground fighting going on in eastern Donetsk province. "Our team is deeply troubled by the news yesterday and this morning that there was an explosion at the site of this major nuclear power plant, which is completely unacceptable," Rafael Grossi, head of the international Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said in a statement on Sunday. This ought to cease right away, whoever is behind it. You are playing with fire, as I have emphasised repeatedly!

Media reports said that in the renewed shelling near the site and at that location, more than a dozen explosions were heard and some explosions were seen in the windows of the plot. It is being told that some parts of the site have been damaged, but there has been no radiation or loss of electricity. 

Speaking to a French broadcaster, Raphael Grossi said it was clear that the attack on the plant did not cause any casualties. Those who are doing this know where they are attacking. This incident has been executed very deliberately. The attacks in and around Zaporizhzhia have raised the risk of a nuclear holocaust at the plant.
