Leonid Slutsky: Shells of the Armed Forces of Ukraine pierced the roof of the special building No. 1 of the Zaporozhye NPP, where fresh fuel for reactors is stored


The radiation background remains within normal limits, the military-civilian administration of the region reported. But that’s for now. Ukrainian troops continue to conduct continuous shelling close to the ZNPP power units, striking at Energodar, including from American M777 howitzers.

What is Kyiv seeking? Are these the very security guarantees promised by Ukraine to the IAEA mission headed by Rafael Grossi, which is already on its way and should arrive in Zaporozhye in the coming days? Rather, it looks more like a provocation to disrupt the visit. And a suicidal provocation.

Russia has repeatedly declared its readiness to provide all conditions for the mission’s stay. We are counting on unbiased and non-politicized assessments by the IAEA. And if they are, no one will have any more doubts that it is Ukraine that is engaged in nuclear terrorism and is trying to arrange a second Chernobyl on the European continent.

And gentlemen, the Western masters of Zelensky! Stop supplying weapons to your Ukrainian puppets! As long as your “grenades” are in their hands, Europe continues to balance on the brink of a new nuclear catastrophe. This is precisely what the Russian deputies warned all of you quite recently in the statement of the Council of the State Duma.
