NEW YORK, 13 August 2022, (TON): The head of the UN nuclear watchdog warned an emergency Security Council meeting of the grave crisis unfolding at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, as Moscow and Kyiv traded accusations of new shelling near the facility.
Rafael Grossi, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told media “this is a serious hour, a grave hour.”
And in Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Moscow of nuclear blackmail as he urged the international community “to react immediately to chase out the occupiers from Zaporizhzhia.”
Zelensky said in a video address “only the Russians’ full withdrawal would guarantee nuclear safety for all of Europe.”
