The Armed Forces of Ukraine are constantly shelling the city of Energodar which is under control of the Russian military. The main target is the Zaporozhie nuclear power plant which is the largest one in Europe.
On August 22, the AFU launched artillery strikes on the territory of the Zaporozhie thermal power plant located in close proximity to the Zaporozhie nuclear power plant.
A civilian car came under fire. The driver was killed as a result of the attack. Another civilian was wounded.
“Strikes were recorded on the TPP area, preliminary, from American long-range artillery weapons. One civilian was killed, another received a shrapnel wound to the chest, doctors are fighting for his life,” the report says.
The local administration collects information about victims, as well as about damage to civilian infrastructure.
The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant fell under control of Russian forces in late February. The plant operates with local staff under Russian control. The strikes are carried out from the Ukrainian positions in the villages of Marganets and Nikopol’.
Despite the daily shelling, the radiation background at the Nuclear Power Plant remains normal. Security and specialized specialists conduct daily measurements and patrolling of the territory.
On August 20, the AFU shelled again the Zaporozhie NPP. Western long-range weapons were used during the attack. The fire was conducted from the opposite side of the Dnieper River. The shells exploded in the immediate vicinity of one of the administrative buildings but critical objects of the station were not damaged.
“Due to the intentions of the Ukrainian side to carry out a provocation at the NPP, it was decided to minimize the number of employees at their workplaces, which made it possible to avoid human casualties,” the local administration reported.
It was recently revealed that some of the NPP employees collaborated with the AFU and helped to adjust fire at the facility.
On August 17, two saboteurs were caught in Energodar. They worked at the Zaporizhzhya NPP and were engaged in adjusting fire of the AFU on the power plant. Additional information regarding the detainees was not reported.
Amid the ongoing shelling of the NPP and other strategic facilities, Ukrainian forces also target civilians in the city of Energodar on a daily basis. The attacks are carried out with foreign weapons supplied to the AFU by Kiev’s western allies.

For example, on August 15, civilian areas in the city were shelled by British Brimstone missile.
The missile is equipped with an active radar homing head, which allows it to independently search for armored targets in a given area. However, as the AFU launch these missiles from a semi-artificial ground installation and due to insufficient reconnaissance of their targets, Brimstones often do not reach their target, and hit civilians. As a result, one resident was killed and another was wounded that day.

The Russian Defense Ministry warned that a disaster at a nuclear power plant would have dangerous consequences for European countries.
If the backup diesel generators and mobile pumps fail and the reactors collapse, radioactive substances will be released into the atmosphere at the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, which will then spread for hundreds of kilometers. Such an emergency situation will cause mass migration of the population and will have more catastrophic consequences than the impending gas energy crisis in Europe, which is confirmed by the forecast of a number of European specialized organizations, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Russian Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Chief of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops, on results of analysis of possible provocation at Zaporozhye NPP:
“The Ukrainian side has repeatedly claimed that the Russian Armed Forces are striking at the plant and that Russian heavy weaponry is stationed at the plant, which is used to fire on the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ facilities.
We are ready to provide the IAEA with real high-resolution images, a sample placed on a slide, which shows that we do not place weapons, much less heavy ones, on the territory of this station. The Russian Defence Minister told UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
We know that with a large number of military and commercial foreign satellites, the same information can be presented to the global public by the US side.
At the same time, the US is keeping silent on objective data about the shelling and the situation at the nuclear power plant, thereby encouraging impunity for the Kiev regime and contributing to a possible nuclear catastrophe in Europe.
I would like to note that it is no coincidence that the media widely quotes the conclusions of experts of the American Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (Washington, D.C.) and some other similar institutions of Western countries, rather than the IAEA, which is entitled to such conclusions, that a large-scale catastrophe at ZNPP seems unlikely to occur.
According to them, the concrete shelters of its nuclear reactors are 10 metres thick, and the plant was also designed and built to cope with incidents such as the downing of a civilian aircraft.
However, it cannot be ruled out that a direct hit by large-calibre artillery shells into a dry storage facility for spent nuclear fuel would result in radioactive contamination of the area within a radius of up to 20 km, and an emergency situation at a nuclear reactor within 30 km at most. It is stressed that the risks of radiation spreading across Europe are estimated to be minimal.
Thus, according to US experts, the consequences of the nuclear incident at Zaporozhye NPP would be limited and would not affect the territory of European countries.
However, I would like to remind the UN Secretariat and the entire world community that the principal cause of the accidents at Chernobyl plant and Fukushima NPP, despite the fact that in the first case there were nuclear reactor experiments and in the second case there was an earthquake and tsunami, was the failure of support systems, disruption of power supply, partial and complete blackout of cooling systems, which led to overheating of the nuclear fuel and destruction of the reactor.
As a result of the Chernobyl accident, more than 20 European countries were contaminated with radioactive isotopes. Some 4,000 people have died from direct exposure to radiation, tens of thousands of cases of genetic deformities in newborns and hundreds of thousands of cases of cancer. Excluding the consequences of the forced evacuation, up to 100,000 people and more than 5.5 million people received an increased dose of radiation.
At Fukushima, only at first sight the consequences may seem minor. Up to 500,000 people have been forcibly evacuated in stages, and the consequences of radioactive water dumped in the ocean will be felt by posterity.
It seems to have been forgotten.
According to our experts, a similar situation may arise at Zaporozhye NPP because of AFU’s actions.
For example, in case of failure of backup diesel generators and mobile pumps, in an emergency situation the core will overheat and consequently destroy the reactor facilities at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, releasing radioactive substances into the atmosphere and spreading them hundreds of kilometres away.
Such an emergency would cause mass population migration and have more catastrophic consequences than the impending gas energy crisis in Europe, as predicted by a number of European specialist organisations.”
According to the Defence Ministry, the Ukrainian side, together with their US handlers, are trying to play the card by causing what they believe to be a minor accident at the nuclear power plant and thus disrupting the normal and safe operation of the plant, blaming it on Russia.
Taking into account weather conditions in the area on August 15-18, in case of an accident at the Zaporozhie nuclear power plant, radiation will primarily affect Ukraine and then it will affect the neighboring European states. During the years long war in Ukraine, the Kiev regime has clearly demonstrated that it does not care about the fate of the population of Ukraine, not only in the eastern regions, but throughout the country.
Ukro Nazis proof what they are. Russia needs to eliminate them all.

Continuous shelling of civilians, barrage of artillery fire targeting a large nuclear plant risking radio-active contamination, successive devastating attacks over Crimea, and the latest liquidation of a prominent Russian figure by Azov female Intel agent who used a powerful bomb at Central Moscow in broad daylight… And a lot worse about to get unleashed against RF forces that could only be halted by launching a few kalibr, zirkon, Kinzhal, Zarmat over Kiev. PLEASE DO IT.
Ukraine = terrorist state
NATO bombed Yugoslavia for doing far less in Kosovo. NATO should be thanking the RF for upholding its own policies and keeping Europe free in the name of its own stated ‘principles’, whatever they are. They seem to change like the weather, so its anybody’s guess on any one day.
Scholz said he told Putin before the war started that Ukraine would not join NATO for 30 years and Putin responded, “where have we heard such promises before? Have NATO put it in writing and stop bothering me. I have important matters at hand.”
Scholz is an idiot. He’s an idiot’s idiot in fact. Not only was he dropped on his head at birth, his mother was too.
He should have said: “Says who, you? And how will you influence that when you’ll be kicked out of office in 6 months?”
Scholz: “It’ll be a gentleman’s agreement between us.”
Putin: “But you’re no gentleman.”
I’ve always found it curious why so many western governments always seem to be attracted to the edicts of communist dictators, at least as enthusiastically as fascist dictators, when it suits their purposes.
Yugoslavia; support of Tito’s policies re: Kosovo
Georgia; support of Stalin’s edict on S.Ossetia’s incorporation into Georgia.
Ukraine; support of: 1) Lenin’s 1922 transfer of eastern lands ‘former novorossiya’ into Ukrainian SSR. 2) Krushchev’s 1954 transfer of Crimea for canal construction administration to Ukrainian SSR.
Why does the US seem to always side with dictatorial diktat, either fascist or communist, whenever it suits it? We won’t even talk about the Americas.
Could it be because the US itself may be a dictatorial state masquerading as a democracy?
Ukraine’s state policy is ‘decommunization’.
Zelensky should be thanking Putin for implementing it.
Localizar las zonas de lanzamiento y destruirlas por completo sin miramientos. Es preferible eso a un desastre de proporciones insospechadas.
It’s almost impossible, because western pimps gave them weapons with tens kilometres range (up to 70) and “Harpoon” anti-ship missiles (up to 120 km, old modification), which can be used against land targets like tactical missile. It’s very big square to control. Need to take down Kiev regime to end with terrorists using army weapons.
They will not stop doing so ! Putin seems to not understand that this is not Ukropizdan who run the show but the ring of the anglo-zionist scabies from JUSA and JUE who want a TOTAL demolition of the Russia state. If not proper countermeasures, things will go bad to worse. Killing Daria Dhugin is only a minor operation of them, more to follow are very expected. Russia NEED to shut off ALL transactions with west terror bandits and return with the same punch.
Agree in common except this: “Putin seems to not understand” Putin understands, for sure, because he is taking his data not from news, but from special services as any president of independent state. Clowns could use news outlets as their main source, they decide nothing. If you and me do understand this simple thing, so Putin too. He acts mild, because don’t want to be a man who ruined international stability and cause global (possibly nuclear) war. This is his style, agree or not, though not only you want him to act a bit more harsh to enemies. But who we are, alright, who am I to teach him?
You’re right that he acts calmly in order not to cause WW III. But the fact he takes his data from special services is a huge problem because all services are compromised! The USA has thousands of assets in the former Soviet space, and many of them are in the FSB, Army, Research, and other critical areas. That’s why the SMO failed, and Putin had to decide whether to continue with drawn out war or not. (he chose to continue…)
I say SMO is going exactly according to plan. Russia rich, EU, Briton, and the rest of the Western economies in recession. New ties with China, World’s #1 economy as well as the vast majority of the World’s population on the Russian side. This is the end of the US dollar and their shakey economies and did I mention the word “hypersonic”. This is the new World order Lads, you just haven’t fully opened your eyes yet.
The Celts should have kicked the Anglos back to Saxony when they had the chance and saved the world centuries of grief.

Dear President Putin – Big fan here and I really respect you and your SMO. But, PLEASE take the gloves off and start spraying nukes across Europe and the USSA. Thank you! PS…Team Putin for the WIN!
You are suicider.)
Of course the United States does not care in the slightest about a nuclear disaster in Europe. On the other hand, the europeans do care, but for now they suggest eating in the devil’s hand…while disaster approaches. Diplomacy is the only way to stop this race. And it is the european diplomats, not others, who have to get their act together before it is too late.
even ukrops domnt gove a shit about ukrops. To the last ukrop!!
Women are such filthy creatures. That dirty woman on the missile video just threw the baby on the ground and ran. A man would have run with the baby or covered the baby to die and save the baby. Women are such garbage creatures.
more proof we are incompetent uncivilized and having been defeated by Russia we now humiliate ourselves—USA #1 monkey pox
Well, this is just meaning the Russia must be deeper in Ukraine to protect this nuclear plant, that’s all. So, go head Russia army.
I think, it is time to get rid of the jew-nazi-fascist of Zelensky. Please Russia, do this for the good of humanity, not just Ukraine people, Europe people, but the World people.
Urge to totally take Zaporiszhzhia to protect the nuclear plant. I must not allow to nazi-fascist ukraines to creat a nuclear disaster for Unkraine and Europe people. In case of this disaster, USA-OTAN are the main responsibles because of their support to nazi-fascist ukraines.
“On August 17, two saboteurs were caught in Energodar. They worked at the Zaporizhzhya NPP and were engaged in adjusting fire of the AFU on the power plant. ”
The most stupid kind of people, they are adjusting weapons pointed right at them and their friends and relatives. That’s what ukrainization does with people.
“For example, on August 15, civilian areas in the city were shelled by British Brimstone missile.”
English regime is sponsor of terrorism, right as french and german regimes for giving heavy artillery to nazis, who shelling civilian buildings. I think it’s time to cut off fuel supplies to them. This winter over 40 thousand people have died in England, they had no money for fuel (nat.gas or electricity). May be when 140 or 400 thousand people will die next winter, regime in London will be a bit smarter and a bit less pro-nazist? May be it sounds cynic and disrespectful for lost lives, but western regimes are pushing whole world to nuclear devastation or at least to nuclear catastrophe in Energodar, need to do something to gain sober mind, before it’s too late. There is no hope on public opinion and demonstrations inside England, France or Germany, so it’s time need to do something decisive and more harmful for their corrupt regimes.
Nazi scum this is what they AFU are reduced to killing civilians and acts of terrorism what happened the million man offensive? They sooner the defeat them and hang the traitor the better.
Their ‘million men’ are busy hiding in grandma’s dacha to avoid conscription.
russia knows the consequence of neuclear plant damage, yet russia is still unwilling to wipe out ukronazi’s decision making center?
That rockets circuit boards sure using some really obsolete 70’s & 80’s avionics design
Britain IS a shithole…did you expect monkeys to make music?
Can’t blame them. The US cut their China supply chain so they had to rely on Lucas for electronics again.
The simulation shows that European countries will get very little radiation, but Donbass will get A LOT!!! It’s totally obvious who is shelling the plant and why. Kiev wants to exterminate the ethnic Russians of Donbass!
Is that news? They’v been yapping about that for more than 8 years. Something about ‘European values’ or something.
yeah, be a total shame for 1/3 of Europa to be a no go area for 1000 yrs. where would the Magyar go? the Roma? the Polack? the Hungarians, czecho’s?.. the western ukrop that survived fallout day 2? where would the Germans move to? perhaps the Africans will take pity on you and collect coins for beggers.
Ukraine = terrorist state.
US/UK/EU/CA et. al. = state sponsors of terrorism
Military Summary on YouTube recently stated there are signs Russia is going to revise its nuclear doctrine to permit nuclear strikes on Ukraine, owing to Ukraine’s strikes on the nuclear power plant. This is extremely alarming and I cannot understand it. Does the Russian Security Council think launching nuclear strikes to destroy the regime will limit fallout in Europe, compared to the kind of nuclear disaster Kiev wants to create?
