International inspectors staying at Zaporija plant

Let the world know that inspectors are staying in Zaporigja”, Gross said.

However, he has not shown how many people will remain.

The chief of this agency has said the inspectors have managed to see what they had to see.

I think we've been able to see a lot in a few hours, get a lot of information. The main things we've seen: ”, Rafael Gross said, talking about Russian media.

This largest nuclear power plant in Europe is controlled by Russian forces after the launch of the Russian occupation in Ukraine.

The international mission has arrived at the nuclear power plant earlier on September 1st, despite bombings in the area.

Such a visit has been postponed as a result of the bombing.

The Enerhototom company has said the international mission has been under Russian soldiers.

This visit of the delegation from the town of Zaporija to the same name plant in the Russian-controlled Enerhobar city of Enerhobar ʹ faced several hours' delay on September 1st, as Ukraine and Russia accused each other of carrying out attacks in this area.

The situation at the Zaporija plant continues to present a major concern for the international community.

Russian and Ukrainian forces have charged each other with launching the plant. Fighting in this area has raised concerns about a possible nuclear disaster.

Before the visit of international inspectors, Ukrainian officials said Russian grants forced one of the reactors to stop.

Since 5 am, the constant grant in the city has not stopped... Of course, some civil buildings have been hit. There are also victims, but we still haven't determined how much”, Ukrainian officials said on September 1st.

Oleksandre Starukh, head of the Zaporizja region, said Russian troops were promoting “the way through which the UN agency's mission” is envisioned.

Due to Russian promotions, the state energy operator in Ukraine, Enerhoatom, said it has stopped functioning one of Zaporizja reactors. Meanwhile, another reactor is in operation and is covering the power plant requirements.

But, the Russian Defence Ministry accused Ukrainian forces earlier during September 1st of trying to take control of the plant.

The ministry said the necessary “measures were undertaken to destroy Ukrainian troops, using even fighter aircraft.

Russia has no evidence of these claims and the same could not be independently verified.

Meanwhile, an official Russia has installed in Enehodar said the town was without electricity Thursday.

Otherwise, UN experts are expected to do the assessment of the damage at the plant, determine the functionality of security systems, assess staff conditions, and conduct urgent security activities, the agency has said.

The United States has said this week that “a controlled” of Zaporija would be the most secure “opsoption” and has called on Moscow to agree to disarm the area around the plant. A similar request was made earlier by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. / REL
