Zelenskyy warnt russische Drohnen gefährdet die Sicherheit in Tschernobyl und im größten Nuklearwerk Europas

News snippet: KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s sustained bombardment of Ukraine’s power grid is deepening concerns about the safety of the country’s nuclear facilities after a drone knocked out power for more than three hours to the site of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster and as Europe’s biggest atomic power plant remains disconnected from the grid, officials said.

Both Chernobyl and the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant are not working but they require a constant power supply to run crucial cooling systems for spent fuel rods in order to avoid a potential nuclear incident.

A blackout could also blind the radiation monitoring systems, installed to boost security at Chernobyl and operated by the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.

“Russia is deliberately creating the threat of radiation incidents,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late Wednesday, criticizing the U.N. watchdog and its chief Rafael Mariano Grossi for what he described as weak responses to the danger.

They want to cause a nuclear incident EU should stop them before it gets to late

I hope if there is another Russian attack on Chernobyl it will force Europe to defend Ukraine with air & ground forces. Putin is beyond desperate.
