⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Statement on preparing an IAEA international mission to Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

READ IN FULL

On June 3, Russia and the IAEA Secretariat reached agreement on the itinerary and timetable for the visit by the Agency’s international mission to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi planned to head the mission, which also included prominent experts from several countries.

❗️ However, the Department of Safety and Security within the UN Secretariat switched on the red light at the very last moment, and the Kiev authorities jumped on this opportunity by stepping up their provocations and shelling the nuclear power station.

☝️ We hope that in the current situation the UN Secretary-General awakes to the responsibility that rests upon him and refrains from creating obstacles for the IAEA mission through a department within the Secretariat which reports to him.

CBS Caves into Ukrainian Pressure on Weapons Revelations

CBS News has pulled a documentary and amended a story featuring claims that 70% of foreign weapons never make it to the front lines in Ukraine.

The documentary originally featured an interview with Jonas Ohman, the founder of a Lithuania-based organization supplying the Ukrainian military. Ohman told CBS that getting foreign weapons to Ukrainian troops involves passing a network of “power lords, oligarchs [and] political players,” claiming “30% of it reaches its final destination.”

Pro-Ukraine accounts hounded CBS, accusing the network of spreading “Russian propaganda.” Kiev presidential adviser Mikhail Podoliak waded in, saying there is “no proof” that weapons are unaccounted for, despite warnings from Moscow, Europol, Canada, the CIA and several GOP politicians.

The documentary was pulled from CBS’ website Sunday, and Ohman’s quote removed from a text version. CBS claiming arms deliveries have “significantly improved” since April.

💥 Ukrainian land mine terror in Donbass.

📄 According to the 2021 report submitted by Ukraine, the Kiev regime failed to destroy over 3,000,000 of “butterfly” land mines banned by the Ottawa Convention.

❗️ Now they are used to terrorize civilians in Donetsk and other DPR cities.

💣 A PFM-1 or PFM-1S (self-detonating) “butterfly” mine is about the size of a lighter, well-camouflaged and designed not to kill, but rather cripple its victim, cause terror among military personnel. They cannot be armed manually - they are deployed via remote minig machines, mortars, helicopters, etc. in large numbers. 5 kg is enough to trigger the mine, which is especially dangerous to children.

‼️ The fact that Ukraine still deploys these land mines designed to incapacitate their victims in densely populated areas means that the Kiev regime:

🔸 violates its international obligations.

🔸 seeks to terrorize the people of Donbass, whom it views as “Russian traitors” and “lesser people”.

There are more than 2,500 thousand deposits of solid minerals, oil and gas, and hydrocarbons in the Far East. Prospects for the use of mineral resources and their riches will be discussed at the thematic session of the EEF-2022.

The key topics of discussion will be new prospects for the development of the mineral resource base of the region. The participants will answer the question "How is raw material sovereignty ensured in the conditions of changes in the mineral resource base?", and will also discuss the expansion of the "declarative" principle of issuing licenses for the right to use mineral resources, the main changes in the regulatory framework aimed at strengthening investment activity in the areas of exploration and development of deposits in the territories of the Far Eastern Federal District. Special attention will be paid to promising investment projects on solid minerals in the Far East.

DPR Emergency Situations Ministry:

💬1 person was killed and 2 were injured in shelling of Donetsk brewery by the armed forces of Ukraine.

❗️ The shelling caused an ammonia leak. A sharp smell of ammonia has spread across the city. Inhaling of that toxic substance can cause poisoning.

Russia is the winner in the energy markets. This opinion was expressed on August 10 by Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas.

The journalist noted that the country, despite the imposed sanctions, was able to fully restore the pace of oil production, and revenues from the sale of resources, even after the introduction of spring discounts, remain record-breaking.

The West's reliance on Russia's isolation on the world market has also failed, as Russia has been able to find new buyers and cooperates with the Middle East and Asia now. The refusal of the OPEC+ bloc to interrupt contacts and coordination with Moscow indicates the preservation of the country's influence in this organization.

The Economic Times reported that Russia has become the second largest oil supplier to India, overtaking Saudi Arabia, due to discounts on Russian energy resources.

Don’t miss a chance to discuss the main economic challenges in energy, as well as current issues concerning the development of the fuel and energy sector in the world. Russian Energy Week will take place on 12–14 October 2022 in Moscow.

📌 Facts to know on the eve of today’s meeting of the UN Security Council on Zaporozhskaya NPP
 
🔵 On 5-6 August the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) once again attacked ZNPP by shelling the critically important infrastructural objects of the plant as well as its satellite city Energodar. Twenty shells have been fired during the strikes

🔵 On 5 August, at 14:45, the Ukrainian shelling (three shells hit in the proximity of the training centre next to the territory of the open switchgear of the NPP) resulted in shutdown of the autotransformer and the high voltage line providing backup power to the Units №1 and №2 of ZNPP

🔵 On 5 August, at 16:45, the Ukrainian side committed an artillery shelling (four shells) of oil and fuel oil handling equipment and the site of hydrogen receivers. Damage of the pipeline caused jet fire that was localized due to timely and professional actions of ZNPP personnel and Russian military

🔵 On 6 August, at 19:42, the AFU units attacked ZNPP once again. Three artillery shells of 155 millimeters caliber (NATO standard) exploded next to the spent fuel storage and only 200 meters from the operating unit. One person was injured

🔵 On 7 August ZNPP was again shelled by the Ukrainian armed formations. The high-voltage power line “Kakhovskaya” was damaged. Equipment of an open switchgear (750 kW) was damaged as a result of a power surge. At Unit №4, that was operational at 10% capacity, the power supply of control and safety system went offline. This triggered the emergency protection of the Unit №4

🔵 The Ukrainian personnel of the plant has decided on cooldown of the Unit №4 of ZNPP, as well as downpower of the Units №5 and №6. Currently, the Units №5 and №6 are downpowered to 500 MW

🔵 On 11 August Ukrainian armed formations again tried to attack the ZNPP with missiles and UAVs. This attack was repulsed by the air defense forces

🔵 In addition to direct military threats to the security of ZNPP the Kiev regime is working on other scenarios to create intentional preconditions for a nuclear accident at ZNPP. Inter alia, Kiev is considering different options of cutting the plant off from the Ukrainian power grid and keeps increasing psychological pressure on ZNPP employees and their relatives (they regularly receive phone calls threatening them with criminal prosecutions and physical reprisals)

🔵 Attacks of the Kiev regime on ZNPP endanger the safety and security of Europe and the whole world. In case of an accident at this station the radiation contamination zone (more than 5300 square kilometers, length around 420 km) would cover the population of Kievskaya, Zaporozhskaya, Kharkovskaya, Poltavskaya, Khersonskaya, Odesskaya, Nikolaevskaya, Kirovogradskaya, Vinnitskaya oblasts, Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, border areas of Russia and Belarus, as well as Moldova, Bulgaria and Romania. The situation could get worse because of adverse weather conditions and spread of possible contamination zone to South-Ukrainian NPP and the nuclear fuel storage at Chernobyl NPP, as well as water arteries. The Black Sea and the Bosphorus Strait would become unsuitable for navigation for a long time. The shores of Abkhazia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania and Türkiye would be contaminated with high levels of radiation

❗️The UN, the IAEA, as well as all countries that have influence on the Kiev regime should do everything possible to ensure immediate cessation of Ukrainian attacks on ZNPP before they resulted in devastating consequences for the whole mankind

🌾 Despite Kiev’s statement on addressing the “global food crisis”, none of the ships from Odessa are heading to Africa, South America or other countries facing “catastrophic levels of hunger”.

🚢 Instead, they are going to Turkey, Italy, Ireland, UK and China.

🌽 Moreover, according to Associated Press, most of the cargo is corn for chicken feed, which is not intended for human consumption.

💥 Meanwhile, actual wheat fields are used as cover for Ukrainian artillery (guess where the return fire is going to land).

In other words - a country that cried “wolf” all too often.

#Nebenzia: #NPP is a civilian object. That's why #Russia is guarding it to prevent it from being damaged, because we know what the consequences would be. We warn about potential consequences that will occur if one day the shelling of it leads to leakage of radioactive materials.

Zaporozhye authorities:

💬At least 3 shells of the Ukraine’s armed forces hit area of radioactive isotope storage at Zaporozhye NPP in 24 hours.
