Trump claimed that the control of the Zaporozhie Power Plant is being discussed in negotiations on the Ukrainian crisis. Judging by various reports, Kiev, which has lost large territories, would like to take back control of the station.
The Kremlin has confirmed that Putin and Trump will hold phone talks on March 18. They will discuss Ukraine and the prospects for a ceasefire. The issue of the Zaporozhie Nuclear Power Plant will probably also be touched upon.
Amid the new statements in Washington and media hype about the control of the nuclear power plant, Moscow took an important step. On March 17, the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to International Organizations in Vienna declared that the Russian side will no longer continue the rotations of observers of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at the Zaporozhie NPP through Ukrainian territory. The rotation will be carried out only through the territory that is under Russian control.
Such a statement is an important signal from Moscow, which underlines its position on the status of the NPP. In addition to the diplomatic signal, the decision to stop the rotation of the IAEA staff is also a response to numerous Ukrainian provocations. On March 2, for the first time the rotation of IAEA observers at the Zaporozhie NPP took place without the participation of the Ukrainian side, completely on the territory of Russia under the protection of Russian military personnel. Rotations on Ukrainian territory stopped after another attack by the Ukrainian military. In February, Zelensky’s troops shelled a convoy with IAEA staff at the nuclear power plant, and launched another drone into the territory of the station. Constant Ukrainian attacks continue for years.
After numerous dangerous provocations by Kiev, and the hypocritical silence of the IAEA observers, who have not been able to directly name the perpetrators, Trump reportedly wants to give control of the nuclear power plant to Ukraine. It is unlikely that the Russian Federation will discuss the status of the nuclear power plant and adjacent territories with the United States. The NPP is a strategic asset that ensures the energy supply to the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, where Russia will restore and rebuild the entire infrastructure, as well as to Crimea and other areas. On the other hand, Kiev, which has lost vast territories, has enough stations remaining under its control, and the Zaporozhie nuclear power plant is needed only as a source of additional energy for sale to Europe.
listen very carefully: nyet means nyet………
trump is an asshole. if negotiations are taking place you keep your fuc@#+g mouth shut. defeat must be killing them.
bahahaha, bahahaha, bahahaha, bahahaha, bahahaha, right!
saying it again for posterity… it’s a miracle that russia didn’t raze kiev when the first attempts were made to sabotage it. especially after chernobyl was sabotaged in 1986!… only reason for that level of restraint rests at the feet of it’s titular head and the “fifth column” that owns him and his government!
begging russia for this plant ? they may be offered spent fuel rods ? the central bankers dreams are thwarted . when will the international propaganda creators run out of snake oil ?
