IAEA inspectors get ready to inspect Zaporozhye nuclear power plant

The IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) has had its inspectors at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (in the formally held region of Ukraine now a part of Russia) since September, 2022.

Over the past week drone strikes have occurred near the facility where the inspectors have been told to take shelter indoors.

This NPP has been under Russian control since March 2022. In the Fall of that year a referendum was held by the people of the Zaporizhye Region that voted to join the Russian Federation.

As we know all the regions in the Donbass (eastern Ukraine) including Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and earlier Crimea also held referendums choosing to Russia-which has not been recognized by the US and the EU countries of the West as being part of Russia. They were simply annexed illegally by Russia from the territory of Ukraine and therefore remain a part of that country.

It is not the intent of this writer to get into the argument of the previous paragraph of what country these regions are a part of.

The primary focus here is these attacks are on a nuclear power plant which could cause a nuclear disaster.

What is so baffling the IAEA reports the attacks yet places no blame of who is authorizing them.

Would Russia authorize these attacks on its own nuclear power plant? C'mon. It is absurd to believe that.

Thinking logically it has to be the Ukraine leadership acting on its own as no country wants to see another Chernobyl.

So why, in light of these ongoing attacks on a NPP does the US and its European vassals continue to support and arm Ukraine with $billions in weaponry?

It's as if the US inspired coup in Kiev in February 2014 never happened. Yet it saw the legitimately elected president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych forced to flee the country while a neo-Nazi post coup regime took control of the country.

Subsequently, the people of Crimea seeing the coup in Kiev held a referendum and voted to join the Russian Federation. Then other regions in the Donbass (as mentioned earlier) did the same.

This post coup government in Kiev almost immediately launched a war in Donetsk and Lugansk against the mostly Russian speaking people in these regions which finally evolved with Russia initiating its special military operation in February 2022 which continues to this day.

In early August Ukraine launched a military invasion of the Kursk region of Russia where the Kursk nuclear power plant is located. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi visited this NPP on Monday. He warned that the fighting near the plant poses a risk of a "nuclear incident". [1]

Apparently there was a drone strike that fell next to the plant's storage of spent fuel last week.

Is Russia attacking their own NPP's? Of course not.

The question begs.

When will the IAEA finally make the determination that it is Ukraine behind these attacks?
