meagan fitzgerald joins me from kyiv with more on this. a russian media outlet, they are saying the russians want more clarification about this report. of course, russia continues to blame ukraine for the shelling. look, this u.n. watchdog report that came out yesterday is a result of those inspectors from the international atomic energy agency being allowed in the facility to do a good assessment. what we learned is why we continue to hear these things like the nuclear plant is heading for this nuclear disaster. they are saying the plant has violated the seven pillars of nuclear safety. we are talking about the physical integrity, structural integrity of the plant, that the safety and security systems aren't fully functioning, the staff is under undue pressure. this off-site power source is not sufficient. a lot of concerns. we have heard from the director general of the iaea for several weeks now calling on the russians to demilitarize the plant, calling on the shelling to stop. what we have seen is neither of those things have happened.
