the risk of a nuclear incident. and for some reason he just turned not to the authorities of kiev, but to moscow, calling for the removal from the station of precisely russian troops. mikhail ulya. noted that this sounds like encouragement of further ukrainian attacks and emphasized that the foreign policy of the european union is, quote: in a very bad state, on april 12 there will be a meeting of the security council, at which it is planned to discuss the attack on the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, this was stated by the first deputy permanent representative of russia to the un dmitry polensky. ukraine’s involvement is clearer than ever, but for some reason the official representative of the state department, matthew miller, called on russia not to take any action.

the future of the plant and its safety in the spotlight was the first to visit zaporizhzhya npp on a working visit. industry. at today's meeting we talked about what the team is doing to ensure the safe operation of the facility. the trip took place against the backdrop of a large-scale series of attacks that began over

the weekend. there are currently no signs of damage to critical nuclear and security systems at the site. all efforts of the station personnel are aimed at maintaining the safe function mode. however, in addition to the protected power units at site c there are a number of facilities, such as a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, diesel generators that ensure uninterrupted operation of the station, large reserves of diesel fuel for emergency diesel generators, the damage and destruction of which can lead to a disaster. today, the training center, a unique facility, came under attack. zaporozhye npp is the only station in the world where there is a full-scale reactor simulator. the workshop in which the reactor is real, it was once brought from the crimea from a non-operational nuclear power plant. the only thing here no - it's nuclear fuel. zaes employees undergo training here and practice technological operations, including in the reactor hall. as a result of the attack, neither

the employees nor the equipment of this unique center were damaged. the fact of the attack was recorded by employees of the international atomic energy agency, who have been working at the site for more than a year and a half, and the attack happened just 10 minutes after. how the inspectors drove past the buildings. the explosion report matches magat's observations. direct nuclear threat there is no security this time, but the latest incident once again highlights the extreme seriousness of the situation. inspectors, as always , omitted that the threat comes from ukraine, that russia is interested in cooperation with magatay and the un secretariat on the issue of attacks on a nuclear facility, said sergei lavrov, but the answer, the minister insists, must be direct, without any prevarications when we agreed to the presence of magathe experts, a permanent presence at the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, we, among other things were guided by necessity for them. give an objective assessment of what is happening there, how the plant is managed, how nuclear and physical

safety is ensured there, but of course, we assumed that such attacks against the largest nuclear power plant in europe would be recorded. the kiev patient is stable, the ukrainian energy atom said that there was no drone attack, and the kremlin is allegedly trying to hide the consequences of some kind of accident that has already happened at the plant. support in this information war came from germany. released a story called drone strikes on the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, and on the cover they wrote: russian drones are attacking energy facilities in ukraine, that is, they did everything possible to make the viewer think that russia was attacking its own people; in the story itself they quote stuff from kiev propagandists. the main intelligence directorate of the ukrainian ministry of defense blamed the incident on russian troops, calling the drone strike a simulation. were no longer original, the us state department said that they were aware of drone attacks on zas continuing

monitor the situation, routinely called on moscow to return the station to kiev, and did not admit that it was strikes from the ukrainian side that created a nuclear threat. even nuclear terrorism is perceived in washington as a good thing if it is directed against russia, noted ambassador to the united states anatoly antonov. encouraging zelensky’s criminal regime is akin to walking on the edge of a knife. we are concerned about the direct hit on the nuclear power plant. expressed slovenia, the head of the republic spoke on the phone with the head of magathe, stated that the country calls for a meeting of the un security council to discuss global nuclear security, but official ljubljana is also silent about the fact that it was kiev that attacked. we call on the leadership of european states to immediately respond to direct threats to the security of the au. we also demand that the ukrainian armed forces immediately stop shelling the zaporozhye nuclear power plant. russia, soon after the start of a series of attacks, advocated convening an extraordinary one. session of the magath board of governors, according to preliminary data, such a meeting

could be held the day after tomorrow. elisabetta khramtsov, to lead. the re-launch of the angara a5 launch vehicle will take place today at the vostochny cosmodrome; on the eve of the launch it had to be postponed due to problems with the automation in the central block of the rocket. and evgeniy nipod will tell you all the details. the state commission allowed the launch vehicle angara again of the heavy class from the cosmodrome. vostochny, which should be its first launch from a civilian spaceport. the launch is scheduled for today at 12:00 moscow time at 18 local time. the launch vehicle includes the rion upper stage with a test payload load. the upper stage, after separation of the rocket stage, helps to launch the cargo into the required orbit, doing this with the highest specified accuracy. let me remind you that the day before the launch command was sounded 2 minutes before the possible start, at 11:58 moscow time. the automation worked. the start was postponed. for technical reasons, roscosmos general director yuri borisov made a statement, he said, i will quote,

companies, with the participation of the authorities, are recruiting in prisons. usa representatives of mexican and colombian drug cartels, so that they fight on the side of the kiev regime. meanwhile, the state debt found a loophole to provide at least minimal military assistance to ukraine. which one, emil will tell you about it mirsaev. the us state department has approved the urgent sale of military aid to ukraine for the maintenance of khavk missile systems. the issue price is 138 million dollars. the funds will go toward designing communications systems, tool kits, spare parts, and training soldiers. wsso. there is an emergency situation that requires the immediate sale to the ukrainian government of the above defense goods and services in the interests of us national security. thus, the requirement of congress to review this transaction is canceled. really rely on congress is now a losing strategy for american hawks. there is still no clarity about whether the lower

house of parliament will approve a tranche to kiev for at least $60 billion? however, to the question. the amounts do not seem to be so clear, primarily for the legislators themselves, who demand that the white house report the total amount of financial assistance to kiev, all because the biden administration’s expenses on ukraine turned out to be much higher than expected by previous assistance packages. official reports did not include $5.5 billion, follows from a report from the white house office of management and budget. in total, these figures increase the amount of aid allocated by the administration to ukraine. up to 125 billion dollars, and the amount of funds that it can transfer to ukraine - up to more than 120 billion dollars, we demand to provide a list of accounts from which...
