Zabolo Thermal Nuclear Power Plant situation is "critical". Russia and Ukraine accused each other of shelling nuclear power plants. Russia said that it is necessary to prevent the escalation of the situation and trigger military conflicts between major nuclear powers. The United States, Britain, France and Germany rarely call for military restraint.
As the largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine and also the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporo thermonuclear power plant is of great significance to the normal domestic power supply of Ukraine. Before August, the Zaporo Thermal Nuclear Power Plant had almost no popularity in this conflict. However, in recent times, this nuclear power plant has almost triggered a "nuclear crisis".
has to start from the beginning. Just one week after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian army gained control of the nuclear power plant. Since then, Russia has deployed about 500 heavy-equipped soldiers near the nuclear power plant. On August 2, the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Grossi, said at the United Nations headquarters in New York that the situation at the Zaporo thermonuclear power plant in Ukraine is "very unstable" and said that the delegation will be sent to the nuclear power plant as soon as possible for safety inspections. On August 11, Russia claimed that the Ukrainian army used multiple rocket launchers and heavy artillery to launch shelling into the area of the Zaporo thermonuclear power plant. On August 18, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that Ukraine is preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of UN Secretary-General Guterres visiting Ukraine to send Ukraine to replace the uniforms of Russian or pro-Russian armed personnel to launch a "fake flag attack" on the Zaporother Nuclear Power Plant. At the same time, it accused the Ukrainian army of attacking from Nikpoor's launch position at the Zaporother Nuclear Power Plant and disguised it as the illusion of Russian attacks. The purpose is to carry out " nuclear blackmail " against Russia. According to data released by the Russian side, as of August 18, it was found that the Ukrainian army launched 12 artillery bombardments against the Zaporo thermonuclear power plant. In the face of Russia's multiple accusations, Ukraine denied it. In turn, Ukrainian domestic media reported that since August 5, the Russian army has been regularly shelling the area where the Zaporo thermonuclear power plant is located, and Ukrainian President Zelensky also asked the Russian army to retreat from the nuclear power plant area. At present, Russia and Ukraine have different opinions, and both said that the other side launched a shelling of nuclear power plants.
According to Russian media reports on August 22, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said that NATO countries are involved in confrontation with Russia in Ukraine. Such behavior will lead to escalation of the situation and it is necessary to prevent this from triggering military conflicts between nuclear powers. Riyabkov said that NATO countries are exploring the brink of direct armed conflict with Russia, which is "extremely dangerous". At the same time, he also said that Russia can only use the nuclear weapon when conducting self-defense in an emergency. In other words, NATO countries' unlimited "promotion of Ukraine and anti-Russia" has caused extreme uneasiness in Russia. If this continues, it may really trigger a military conflict between Russia and nuclear powers such as the United States, Britain and France, with unimaginable consequences.
Just as Russia issued a warning, the heads of state of the United States, Britain, France and Germany made a call. During the call, the heads of state of the four countries discussed the situation around the Zaporo thermonuclear power plant in Ukraine. Finally, they called for military restraint and emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of nuclear power plant. It can be seen that Western countries are still very vigilant about nuclear security issues, at least they have not completely lost their minds by aiding Ukraine in attacking Russia. Against the backdrop of the continued warming of the regional situation, both Russia and Ukraine are "not giving in". Western countries have rarely added fuel to the fire and stood up to continue to urge Ukraine to provoke Russia. This also indirectly shows that Russia's warning has come into effect and the "nuclear alarm" has sounded. The heads of state of the four countries agreed that military actions should be avoided near nuclear power plants. If there is a problem with the nuclear power plant, nuclear leakage or even nuclear explosion will cause a devastating blow to the area. By then, everything will be too late to regret.
From the perspective of the United States and Western countries, their intention to rush Ukraine to deal with Russia was to drag Russia into the quagmire of war and unable to get out in the short term. Russia was consumed in the long-term conflict, and the strength of the entire country was therefore reduced.Whether it is the United States or NATO, there has been a huge "threat" missing. However, if the price of defeating Russia is to engage in armed conflicts with it head-on and even trigger a nuclear crisis, it is a "unworthy" deal for Western countries. It is no wonder that at a time when the crisis is getting deeper, they will rarely call for "restraint". In fact, it is the Western countries themselves who should really maintain restraint in this conflict.
