Is Russia planning a nuclear attack?
Since seizing Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on 4 March 2021, the United Nations nuclear watchdog has warned that Russian forces have tightened their control of the Zaporizhzhia atomic power plant.
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said that Ukraine’s nuclear regulator informed it that staff members at the plant, the largest in Ukraine, must seek approval for any operation, even maintenance, from Russian forces.
In addition, Russian forces have switched off several mobile networks and the internet at the plant. This impeded the chance of receiving reliable information from the site, he said. Nine days after Russia invaded Ukraine, the nuclear power plant was captured. Russian shelling caused a fire in a building at the site, triggering global concern about a potential massive disaster. The blaze was extinguished without significant damage. It attributed the attack to Ukrainian saboteurs, calling it a “monstrous provocation.”
