The head of the IAEA cannot determine who is shelling the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant

MOSCOW, September 6 - RIA Novosti. The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, said on the air of the CNN television channel that he was not able to establish who was shelling the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
“I can’t determine it. We don’t have the funds for this. As you know, you would need to monitor the military operation in the region ... which is not only beyond the mandate of the IAEA, but would also require a huge capacity,” he emphasized.

The IAEA report on nuclear safety in Ukraine was published today, a significant part of it is devoted to the recent mission of experts to the ZNPP. Grossi's director general will brief the UN Security Council on the trip on Tuesday.
Last week, an agency delegation led by Rafael Grossi visited the facility, which has been under the control of the Russian military since March. Representatives of "Rosatom" and employees of the Zaporizhzhya NPP led the guests around the station and showed traces of shelling.
As Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia's permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, told RIA Novosti, two IAEA employees will remain at the ZNPP on a permanent basis.
Zaporozhye NPP is located on the left bank of the Dnieper near the town of Energodar. This is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe in terms of the number of units and installed capacity - the plant has six power units with a capacity of one gigawatt each. The Ukrainian military continues to regularly shell Energodar and the territory of the facility adjacent to the city.

Russia regrets that the IAEA in its report does not indicate the source of the shelling of the Zaporozhye NPP, said the Russian ambassador to the UN Nebenzia.

Russia calls on the leadership of the UN and the Security Council to condemn the ongoing attacks by Ukrainian troops on the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant - Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Security Council Vasyl Nebenzya

In addition, Nebenzya stressed that Russia regrets that the IAEA did not name in its report the source of the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which is regularly attacked by Ukrainian military, and also stated that the proposals for the demilitarization of the zone around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant are not serious.

What else Nebenzya said:

— Russia strictly observes the safety principles regarding the ZNPP;

— The IAEA had the opportunity to make sure that the only threat to the nuclear power plant was Kyiv;

— Moscow is ready to provide all possible assistance, therefore it welcomes the decision of the IAEA to establish permanent control over the work of the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

Izyum Front: the situation near Balakleya
by the end of September 6, 2022

Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, after a long artillery preparation along Balakleya, Izyum, logistics routes and warehouses of the RF Armed Forces, launched an attack on Balakleya from the west from Andreevka.
See below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🔻Due to its geographical position, without control over Balakliya, it is difficult to secure the northwestern flank of the group based in Izyum. In addition, if someday the Russian Armed Forces again pay attention to Kharkov itself, a convenient route runs from Balakliya through Zmiev to the Slobodskoy and Industrialny districts of the regional center.

▪️After inflicting massive fire damage on mobilized militiamen from the DPR, who were on the defensive in the nearby forests, the Armed Forces of Ukraine entered the village of Verbovka.

From there, the only route to the territory of the 65th arsenal and Balakleya itself through the Srednyaya Balakleyka River is still preserved. The bridge across the river is intact, fighting is going on for control over it.

▪️From Verbivka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine developed success towards the village of Yakovenkovo, trying to move towards Volokhov Yar and completely block Balakleya from the north.

Now the road Volokhov Yar - Balakleya is under the fire control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

▪️Bridges located to the south across the rivers Balakleyka and Extreme Balakleyka: undermined, so communication with the central regions of Balakleya is now interrupted.

The Ukrainian formations did not enter the Camp area located on the western bank of the Balakleyka River to the north of its tributary (the Lyakhovaya River). There is also no confirmation of the presence of the RF Armed Forces in this area.

▪️Reports have been received about the advance of the Russian Armed Forces south of the village of Bayrak and the expansion of the control zone towards Gusarovka. But so far there are no facts that could confirm this.

🔻At the moment, Balakliya is in the operational encirclement and in the zone of fire destruction of Ukrainian artillery. All entrances are cut by fire.

Interesting (though somewhat cruel point of view and prediction from ZeRada):

Subscribers are often interested in whether there will be an offensive by the Russian Federation on Kharkov or Nikolaev, and what will happen before the New Year in general.

Our opinion [ZeRada]. The main battles initiated by the Russian Federation will be in the DPR. In other directions, there will hardly be big offensives until February 2023☝🏻

We have repeatedly written why the Russian Defense Ministry does not increase the group involved and does not accelerate the conduct of the war.

Another aspect of such tactics is that the more they win back, the more they need to provide, especially in winter. The more problems, the more negative content. This is an objective factor, you can't get away from it.

Already now, the Russian Federation is required to ensure normal living in the conditions of winter for the population in Mariupol, Lisichansk and Severodonetsk. Time will tell how successful this will be. While the locals are waiting with horror for the cold.

Therefore, it is in the interests of the Russian Federation to allow more Ukrainian cities to live the winter on Ukrainian terms with the Ukrainian authorities.

The inability of the authorities to solve any, except virtual, problems of citizens will greatly undermine Ze's ratings in the fall and winter, since the negative from the cold winter will fall on Zelensky's shoulders.

In fact, winter will turn into a period: “whoever has fewer people will freeze.” In such conditions, the fewer problem areas, the better‼️

@PutinDirect

Is it a coincidence or pure coincidence that we have heard "Storm" already :)))

Нow you can see "Storm" is under control of Vladimir Putin 😉

In interview with the BBC, Vladimir Zelensky's wife urged the British to drop "fatigue from Ukraine" and continue to take a tough stance towards Russia, as well as not to pay attention to the economic crisis, but think about Ukrainians instead of it. 🇺🇦

Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters wrote a letter to Olena Zelenskaya asking Ukraine to stop opposing Russia.

He recalled Zelensky's election promises: "to bring peace to the Donbass" and "implementation of the Minsk agreements."

"It can be assumed that your husband's campaign politics did not suit certain political factions in Kyiv, and that these factions convinced your husband to change course, ignoring the will of the people,"- Waters writes.
