“Ukraine appealed to the IAEA with a demand to urgently convene the Board of Governors after Russia’s new massive attack on the energy system, Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Mykola Kolisnyk said. According to him, the purpose of the appeal is the formation of mechanisms to prevent Russian attacks on critical infrastructure and increase international pressure on nuclear and radiation safety issues.

Last night, the enemy used 45 missiles of various types, of which more than 30 were ballistic and cluster missiles. This attack became one of the most technologically complex,” said the deputy minister on the air of the telethon. The deputy minister also noted that there were Russian strikes on the substations that provide power to the Khmelnytsky and Rivne NPPs. “This is not the first time this has happened. Transmission lines are important for the safety of the stations themselves, as well as for the supply of electricity to consumers… Their damage forces nuclear power generation to temporarily reduce production to avoid the risks of emergency situations and cascading accidents in the system,” he added. After the massive Russian attack on the night of November 8, the operator “Ukrenergo” announced the effect of energy consumption restrictions in the amount of two to four shifts on November 9. The same restrictions apply today. According to the Air Force, on the night of November 8, the Russian military launched 45 missiles, of which 32 were ballistic, as well as 458 drones. Air defense forces shot down or suppressed 415 air targets.”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org
