All seven pillars of nuclear safety were violated at the Russian-controlled Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, - IAEA head

“The situation at the Zaporozhye NPP remains unstable. All seven pillars of nuclear safety have been completely or partially compromised,” International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said at a session of the Board of Governors.

According to the IAEA Director General, the reliability of supply chains, as well as emergency response measures at the plant, remain a challenge and pose a threat to nuclear safety and security of the facility.

Grossi laid out the seven pillars of nuclear safety and security back in 2022:

1. The physical integrity of facilities, whether reactors, fuel pools, or radioactive waste storage facilities, must be maintained.
2. All safety, security and related equipment must be fully operational at all times.
3. Operations personnel must be able to perform their safety and security responsibilities and be able to make decisions without undue pressure.
4. All nuclear facilities must be provided with reliable external power supply from the electrical grid.
5. Uninterrupted logistics supply chains to nuclear facilities transportation in both directions must be ensured.
6. Effective on-site and off-site radiation control systems, as well as emergency preparedness and response measures, must be in place.
7. There must be reliable channels of communication with the regulator and other parties.

The Zaporozhye NPP is the largest in Europe.

Good morning Resisters everywhere.

Today, a solemn farewell was held for the Hero of our unit, scout and commander of the anti-tank group, Dmytro Shevchenko, call sign "Sheva NLAW", who died during the defense of Chasiv Yar - Kraken

This is the person who single-handedly captured nine paratroopers of the 98th division of the Russian Federation.

His feat should go down in history.

The country should know what kind of warrior he was.

Heroiam slava!

Spanish Senate Calls for Recognition of Holodomor as Genocide of Ukrainian People

In its resolution, the committee called on the Spanish government to strongly and clearly condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine, demand an immediate end to this military aggression, support the provision of material resources, including military resources, logistical support, education and training that Spain can provide in coordination with our European and international partners for the legitimate protection of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

These horrific photos show Roman Horylyk after 2 years in Russian captivity.

Roman is a senior checkpoint supervisor at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The Russians took him captive at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, and in March 2022 brought him through Belarus to Russia. On May 31, he was returned home along with 74 other prisoners of Russia in this condition.

Happy one

I hope she is adjusting well

This guy is a survivor.

🟣 It is just another typical day in “starving Gaza” when kids who are facing “genocide” sell cookies for relaxing Gazand at the beach

🇨🇿😧In the Czech Republic, a group of Russians attacked Ukrainian and Czech volunteers, said a representative of the Prague Maidan volunteer organization.

It happened in the center of Prague near the tent of Russia Hands Off Ukraine volunteers, where they sell merchendise and organize meetings.

👀On the video you can see how a Russian woman knocks out the phone of Ukrainians. Also how she and other Russians beat the volunteers with their feet and hands, cursing in the direction of Ukrainians and Czechs.

🇧🇪🇭🇺Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib called on EU governments to start the procedure of depriving Hungary of its voting rights.

She stated that Hungary is “having a very hard time moving forward” due to the constant blockades and vetoes of the Orban government.

“This is the moment of truth. Either we fulfill our responsibilities, which requires political courage and willpower. Or we implement mechanisms that do not work. And so we have to choose. If we go all the way with this mechanism, it must work. If it does not work, we have to reform it. This is the future of the EU,” the minister said in an interview with Politico.

Lahbib proposes to apply a no-confidence motion against Hungary under Article 7 of the EU Treaty.

Member of “Putin’s team” Alexander Artamonov called Ukrainians “second-class people” on Russian state TV

Pure Nazism. We remember, that Jews were called "untermensch" in the Third Reich. Now Russia has the same state policy towards Ukrainians.

This man is an idiot. When is the last time you saw a $10,000 tank? Tanks cost well over a million and they destroy them with $1600 drones.

"We can no longer be in a situation where a $10,000 drone destroys a $10,000 tank, or a $3.5 million missile destroys a $10,000 UAV. This is one of the lessons of the Russian-Ukrainian war," said Admiral Rob Bauer, head of the NATO Military Committee.

"We can't continue to do this financially. We need other solutions than what we have. We need to balance the number of high-quality, very expensive weapons we have in favor of cheaper weapons for less valuable targets. However, if a drone can destroy very expensive weapons systems, this does not mean that we no longer need these systems," he said at the Shangri-La Dialogue conference.

Good morning Resisters everywhere. Well yesterday I got to see the new Cox facility. Endocrinology and the clinic in the same building. Both reception areas are very open. Wait til the next Pandemic. They will long for the sliding windows.
