boy in these things, when the relate is when you had leader in the west bank said that these are risk wouldn't prevent them from support to their brothers. they call them in garza felicia in garza, thank you for speaking to us ukraine's president villa dinners. lensky is calling for sanctions against russia nuclear industry. after the shelling of europe's biggest atomic power station, at least 3 strikes hit power lines are those operational plant forcing the closure of one of the reactors, russia and ukraine, blame each other for the shelling russian forces sees control of the station in march. just a week after the invasion, although ukrainian workers still run it, you know, the correspondent, my ts burning, got sent us this update from key if so this

atomic, this, this nuclear power plant as has been under russian control since march, but ukrainian workers are still operating it russians have stationed military equipment there and ukraine is accusing them and that seems to be established that they have also used this as a base for shelling. so they were firing from that position using effectively the nuclear power plant as a shield, be thinking that ukraine would not attack them in that position for fear of a nuclear accident. ukraine has of, however, attacked positions there before using loitering, munition watering munition. these are drones that explode when they hid their targets, so they are quite controllable. and ukraine seemed, or there is it worth the risk or, or assess that it was worth the risk or they were, had enough control to hit some positions near that power plant. now now they were,

we have rockets fired at that plant, and rockets are not as easily controllable. they can be adjusted, but when they fly, they fly. so this is a different risk and we're hearing that some damage has been done to one of the reactors ukrainian, the refrain. atomic energy authority says that sir, these rockets were fired from russian territory, basically amounting to a provocation. russia is denying this. russia is saying these were ukranian rockets and that there is no way to independently verify this. at this moment. they've mentioned fears of a nuclear accident when it has been done to prevent a kind of disaster. well, the international atomic energy authority, that is a monitoring atomic power plants all over the world has no access to the side. they have demanded both sides to enable access, but it's not possible at the moment they can not get on this territory. the plant

is running as it used to, it's running in basically curb the usual regime, so it's still supplying power electric power to the ukrainian power grid. and the workers there, the ukrainian employees are still working there. and the ukranian authorities seem sometimes to be in touch with them, although not always, however, they are running it under the command of the russians. and there seems to seem to be also some russian like employees of the russian atomic energy authority there. but we cannot confirm this, so it's very difficult to ensure the safety at this moment. we don't have any, any hints or anything that these, that something is in the making inside this power plant with besides, of course the shelling that puts it in danger. but we also do not know what exactly is going on there. right. state of the correspond mateus burning our thank you.
