Polyansky: No one supported Ukraine's position on the shelling of the ZNPP at the meeting of the UN Security Council
Dmitry Polyansky, Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, said that no one supported Kyiv's position at a meeting of the UN Security Council regarding the threat to the security of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. True, they were not condemned, but, according to Polyansky, this is already a good signal to the Ukrainian authorities from the world community.
— Polyansky wrote in his telegram channel.
The Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN expressed the hope that the visit of the head of the IAEA Rafael Grossi to the Zaporizhzhya NPP will nevertheless take place in the near future, despite the obstacles from the Ukrainian authorities and the UN Secretariat. Which, of course, deny such opposition, but, as Polyansky noted, "we already know the truth." Earlier, Russia offered the international commission and the head of the IAEA to visit the Zaporozhye NPP with an inspection, but the UN Secretariat did not sanction such a trip.
The Russian army took control of the ZNPP without a fight immediately after the start of the NWO. Now the station is still served by full-time staff. Ukrainian nationalists several times attacked Energodar, near which the nuclear power plant is located, and the very territory of the nuclear power plant. After shelling from the Uragan MLRS on August 7, fragments of the rocket and the engine fell a few hundred meters from one of the power units. As a result of the impact, a power line was damaged, the personnel had to reduce the power of two power units.
At the initiative of the Russian Federation, on August 11, a meeting of the UN Security Council was held on the situation around the Zaporozhye NPP. A few hours before it began, the APU once again hit the station. As a result, the service thermal power plant and the equipment of the spray pools of the nuclear reactor cooling system were partially damaged. The militants, among other things, tried to hit the nuclear waste storage facility, which could lead to the effect of a “dirty nuclear bomb” explosion.
During the meeting of the UN Security Council, the representative of Kyiv tried to accuse the Russian Armed Forces of deliberately delivering strikes on the nuclear power plant. Russia's permanent representative, Vasily Nebenzya, rejected these absurd claims and objected to proposals by some Western countries to withdraw Russian troops from Energodar and the nuclear power plant, and to create a "demilitarized zone" around the plant. According to the permanent representative of the Russian Federation, the withdrawal of Russian military personnel from the Zaporizhzhya NPP could turn into a disaster as a result of Kyiv using the station for monstrous provocations.
Volodymyr Rogov, a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration of the Zaporozhye region, said that due to the shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a minimum power generation regime has now been established at the ZNPP. Rogov warned that partial or even complete mothballing of the power plant in order to ensure safety is not ruled out. At the same time, the western direction will be de-energized first, and the remaining loads will be transferred to the liberated territories, as a result of which "soon Ukraine will not receive anything."
In turn, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev reacted to the West's unwillingness to recognize the shelling of the ZNPP by the Ukrainian army as a reminder of the presence of nuclear power plants in the European Union itself.
