The physical integrity of Ukraine’s Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant had been breached amid heavy shelling from both sides, UN nuclear agency chief Dr Raphael Grossi said on Thursday. “It’s clear that the plant and the physical integrity of the plant has been compromised, multiple times … this is something that cannot continue to happen,” Dr Grossi said. Vehicles carrying members of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspection mission were seen zooming past on roads outside the city of Zaporizhzhia as the team visited Europe’s largest nuclear facility after a long wait. The head of the nuclear watchdog said he would continue to be concerned about the tense situation at the nuclear plant until the fighting stabilizes. Heavy fighting in the Zaporizhzhia region did not stop for the visit of the top UN official, whose team ignored close-range gunfire to inspect the power plant on Thursday. Specialists are likely to remain at the facility for a few days. Show latest update 1662094888
Physical integrity of nuclear plant violated, UN inspector says
Officials from the UN nuclear watchdog who visited the Russian-controlled Zaporizhia nuclear power plant said the physical integrity of Europe’s vital infrastructure had been compromised. “It is clear that the plant and the physical integrity of the plant has been violated, many times over… this is something that cannot continue to happen,” said the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Dr. Raphael Grossi. The IAEA team arrived at the power plant after several hours of delay due to heavy shelling in the area. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, captured by Russia within days of the invasion, has been witnessing heavy fire from both sides — Ukraine and Russia — for months. “This morning it was pretty tough, but … after I got this far, I wasn’t going to stop,” said Dr. Grossi, who came uncomfortably close to the gunfire. “There were times where the firing was obvious, heavy machine guns, artillery mortars, two or three times (it was) really very worrying I would say for all of us,” he said.

3 dead and 5 injured in Enerhodar, Ukraine
At least three people were killed and five wounded in the Ukrainian shelling of Enerhodar, said the governor of Zaporizhzhia region, which is settled in Russia, Yevgeny Balitsky. A residential building was also hit by shelling in Russia’s Enerhodar on the Dnipro River, and witnesses reported soldiers running with helicopters flying overhead. Casualties from the bombings were not immediately clear. Officials in Ukraine reported heavy shelling late yesterday and said about a dozen southern cities had come under Russian attack, including areas such as Kharkiv in the north and Donetsk in the east.

Zelensky calls for demilitarization, full control of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant
Volodymyr Zelenskiy called for all troops to be removed from the critical Enerhodar nuclear power plant as a team of UN nuclear agency officials visited the Zaporizhzhia plant on Thursday. He said the nuclear plant would return to fully safe operation only after the Russian military is finally forced to leave the ground, “when they remove their weapons, their ammunition, when they stop shelling Enerhodar and neighboring areas and stop their provocations.” Mr. Zelensky added: “And the main thing that needs to happen is the demilitarization of the factory floor. This is precisely the goal of Ukrainian and international efforts. And it is a shame that we have not yet heard the proper appeals from the IAEA.” Stating that the IAEA did not help Ukraine by calling for demilitarization, the Ukrainian president said: “Although we discussed it with Mr. Grossi [IAEA chief] at our meeting in Kyiv. That was the key – the key! – security point of our agreements. It was clearly stated: demilitarization and full control by Ukrainian nuclear specialists.” On the Russian side, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Moscow was doing everything to ensure that the plant could operate safely and that IAEA inspectors could complete their tasks.
