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.
Amendments to Ukraine’s enforcement proceedings legislation, initiated by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, have entered into force. Among other measures, the reform provides for the automated lifting of attachments on bank accounts immediately after debts in enforcement proceedings have been fully settled. The main practical benefit for citizens is the complete elimination of the need to contact an enforcement officer in person and wait for paper decisions once the debt has been paid.

In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now. The EU is trying to work out how to spread responsibility for its own security across society as a whole, rather than leaving it to institutions alone. It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end. This was emphasized by Rinat Akhmetov, president of FC Shakhtar, during a working visit to UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, where he met with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
