Ukraine’s nuclear energy operator ‘Energoatom’ made a statement that Russia spreads fakes about attacks on the Zaporizhzhia NPP and manipulates the International Atomic Energy Agency.
‘Recently, Russia has brought its propaganda to a new level. It manipulates the opinion of the IAEA and the world community, trying to accuse Ukraine of violating nuclear safety at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, which Russians seized with the use of weapons,’ the statement says.
The Kremlin’s false statements regarding the alleged drone attacks by Ukraine are nothing more than an attempt to hide their own intentions to carry out a terrorist attack or to hide emergencies that have already occurred at the plant.
Energoatom claims that using propaganda, Russia is trying to hide the actual seizure of the nuclear plant by the Russian military and turning it into a military base. The invaders do not admit IAEA representatives to the plant’s facilities and ignore the adopted resolutions.
Energoatom stresses that the only way to prevent a nuclear and radiation accident is to implement the IAEA resolution, withdraw the Russian military and military equipment from the station, transfer the ZNPP to the control of Ukraine, and de-mine the surrounding areas.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
