The largest nuclear power plant in Europe was repeatedly shelled, for which Ukraine and Russia blamed each other

 Ukraine wants the UN to send peacekeepers to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, even without an agreement with Russia to establish a security zone there, said the head of the Ukrainian national nuclear power generating company Energoatom.

Ukraine has been calling UN peacekeepers to the station since September. However, this is the first public announcement by a Ukrainian nuclear power official that peacekeepers should be deployed even in the absence of an agreement to establish a security zone at the plant, which Russia took control of shortly after the February 24 invasion.

The Zaporizhzhіa Nuclear Power Plant, the largest in Europe, has been hit by repeated shelling and power outages, raising fears of a radioactive catastrophe.

Ukraine and Russia blame each other for the shelling.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi hoped to broker an agreement between Russia and Ukraine to establish a security zone by January.

The head of Energoatom, Pyotr Kotin, said the absence of an agreement means that the UN Security Council, of which Russia is a permanent member, must deploy peacekeepers.

“The problem is that there is no solution at the IAEA level,” Kotin told Reuters in an online interview from his office in Kyiv.

“The process is not moving forward. We would suggest taking this issue to the next level,” he said.

On January 5, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin “instructed” the Minister of Defense of the aggressor country, Sergei Shoigu, to implement a “ceasefire regime” along the entire line of combat in Ukraine from 12:00 on January 6 to 24:00 on January 7.

A few minutes after the alleged start of the “truce” it became known about the Russian shelling of Kherson, as a result of which a rescuer died. The occupiers also struck, in particular, Kramatorsk, Kurakhovo, Bakhmut and Krasnaya Gora in Donetsk region and one of the settlements in Luhansk region.

Under the procedural guidance of the prosecutors of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Prosecutor’s Office, three soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, involved in the torture of civilians in the territory of the Melitopol and Vasylivsky Districts of the Zaporizhzhia Region, were informed of the suspicion of violation of the laws and customs of war committed by a group of persons based on a prior conspiracy (Part 2 of Article 28 , Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

This was reported by the press service of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Prosecutor’s Office.

According to the investigation, since the beginning of the occupation of the Melitopol district, the commander of the tactical group of the Russian National Guard troops was appointed the so-called “military commandant” of the occupation administration of Melitopol.

In order to carry out his criminal orders, his subordinate military personnel detained civilians who, with their active civil position, could “obstruct” the implementation and implementation of the occupation policy. They were sent to the “military commandant’s office”, where physical and psychological violence was used.

It was established that the suspect together with his accomplices from the military of the aggressor state detained the head of one of the local educational institutions. The woman was placed in a cell where she was kept with a minimum amount of water without a bathroom and food. She was interrogated exclusively at night, thereby forcing her to cooperate with the enemy. The other two suspects are servicemen of the Makhachkalinsky OMON unit of the Rosgvardiya Directorate for the Republic of Dagestan after the occupation of Vasylivka district in February 2022.

In order to carry out a criminal plan aimed at carrying out subversive activities against Ukraine, they personally participated in the detention and torture of local residents with a pro-Ukrainian position.

The occupiers mocked civilians for a week – they tortured them with electric current, poured chemical reagents on their skin, inserted sharp metal objects under their fingernails, etc. They threatened to kill their relatives, encouraging them to cooperate in this way.
