Russia attacked Ukraine’s power grid the day after the IAEA resolution banning such strikes.
Attacks on substations near nuclear power plants were recognized as a direct threat to nuclear safety
Such attacks are recognized as a direct threat to nuclear safety, since they violate the fourth of the seven principles of the IAEA – reliable external energy supply to nuclear power plants, the Ministry of Energy website reports.
The resolution was supported even by countries such as Brazil, Ghana, Colombia, and the Republic of South Africa, which tend to be supported during the voting for Ukrainian resolutions.
The Russian mission to international organizations in Vienna responded by stating that the aggressor state considers attacks on energy infrastructure facilities to be absolutely legal.
Let us remind you that the Russian Federation launched 93 missiles and almost two hundred UAVs across Ukraine today. These are preliminary data announced by the President of Ukraine.
81 missiles were destroyed, 11 of them thanks to Ukrainian F-16s. This is one of the largest blows to the energy sector of Ukraine.
Cruise missiles traditionally flew at ultra-low altitude so that they could not be seen and hit by air defense systems.
