Dominant Biden regime hardliners, their NATO counterpart vassals and Ukrainian Nazis they control are desperate to conceal reality about what’s going on at and around the Zaporozhye NPP.
They want indisputable evidence of Ukraine’s responsibility for repeatedly shelling of the plant suppressed — so Russia is blamed for its aim to release and spread deadly radiation over much of central Europe.
As directed by the regime’s US master, they escalated terror-strikes on the NPP with this diabolical aim in mind.
Yet rubbish like the following persists, the Kiev regime’s so-called state-run energy agency, Energoatom, turning reality on its head as follows, saying:
“We demand that the Russian Federation stop the provocations and grant the IAEA unhindered access to the Ukrainian nuclear facility (sic).”
For his part, IAEA director, Grossi, said he and his team are aware of “increased military activity in the (Zaporozhye) area,” but their mission is pressing on despite it.
According to local authorities, Ukrainian Nazis targeted the NPP over 100 times in the last 24 hours by high-explosive fragmentation-type artillery shells from the community of Marganets and kamikaze UAVs.
At this time, they’ve been no casualties or radiation leaks reported.
According to Russia’s Defense Ministry on Thursday:
At around “6:00 Moscow time (3:00 GMT), Ukrainian troops in two sabotage groups on seven boats numbering up to 60 people debarked on the shore of the Kakhovskoye reservoir three kilometers to the northeast of the Zaporozhye NPP and attempted to take over the power plant.”
“(M)easures have been taken to destroy the enemy, including (by) use of army aviation.”
“Since 8:00 Moscow time (5:00 GMT), Ukrainian (Nazis) have been shelling the meeting site of the IAEA mission in the area of the city of Vasylivka and the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.”
“Four shells exploded at a distance of 400 meters from the first power unit.”
The regime’s latest “provocation(s) (are all about wanting) the IAEA mission to the Zaporozhye” NPP sabotaged and “derail(ed).”
According to an IAEA Office of Public Information and Communication statement:
The Grossi-led mission to the Zaprozhye NPP is all about “protect(ing) safety and security of Ukraine’s and Europe’s biggest nuclear facility.”
The agency’s team “will help ensure nuclear safety and security at the…plant and undertake vital safeguards activities.”
It’ll “assess physical damage to the facilities, determine the functionality of the main and backup safety and security systems, and evaluate working conditions of the control room staff.”
“At the same time, the mission will undertake urgent safeguards activities to verify that nuclear material is used only for peaceful purposes.”
There’s no ambiguity about Russian protection of the facility and how Ukrainian staff are operating — to generate electricity alone, nothing for non-peaceful purposes.
According to Zaporozhye region official, Vladimir Rogov, on Thursday:
“(A) Ukrainian assault team attempted to debark in the vicinity of Energodar.”
It “crossed the Dnieper (River) and attempt(ed) to establish a foothold on the shore.”
“This is some sort of desperation when they realize that the IAEA won’t keep quiet.”
“I am confident that there are people among the delegation’s members who will fulfill their obligations” by setting the record straight on what’s been going on.
Separately on Thursday, head of Energodar’s military-civilian administration, Alexander Volga, stressed the following:
Russian aerial and ground forces foiled the diabolical mission of Ukrainian Nazis.
The operation to eliminate the threat they represent will “be over soon.”
On Wednesday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova explained the following:
“On the Russian side, everything necessary is being done and even more.”
“We have been working on it for three months, negotiating the trip (since) June 3, as well as the inspection, the team’s composition, timing, and the route, so that the mission, led by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, planned three months ago, finally could take place (safely) and complete all its goals at the power plant.”
“We expect that the (team will) examine the situation on the ground and in every detail, assess the consequences of the inhumane Ukrainian strikes at the objects and facilities located at this site…”
Zakharova also stressed that it’s essential for the team “to make sure that information provided by the Russian side on an almost daily basis about the increasingly dangerous situation at the NPP” is assessed and reported accurately.
That “the Kiev regime and its forces” are responsible for what’s going on, clearly not Russia.
And this from Zakharova:
Kiev regime “attempts to (foil) the (IAEA mission’s) progress (by) intensified attacks on (the NPP, including), use of heavy weapons negate all (puppet Zelensky statements about wanting) a successful (agency) visit…”
On Wednesday, the team arrived in Zaporozhye city.
In harm’s way because dominant Biden regime hardliners and Ukrainian Nazis want their mission foiled, will artillery and kamikaze terror-strikes continue with no letup?
Russian forces at and around the NPP to protect it from US-directed/Kiev-implemented attacks will surely go all-out to aid IAEA team members perform their mission successfully and safely.
