Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for strikes that caused shells to damage Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.
RELATED: Russia’s war in Ukraine has entered a new phase. Here’s what we know.
“Suicidal” shelling of Europe’s largest nuclear plant must be halted and international inspectors must be granted access to ensure its safe operation, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres said Monday. Moscow and Kyiv blamed each other for a series of rocket attacks at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station that the International Atomic Energy Agency said has created “the very real risk of a nuclear disaster.”
Ukraine’s military intelligence chief, Andriy Yusov, said his organization had received credible information from several sources that Russian forces have planted explosives at the plant to head off an expected Ukrainian counteroffensive in the region. The Ukraine power company Energoatom quoted a Russian general as saying, “The station will be either Russian or nobody’s.”
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of carrying out the rocket attacks. The Russian Embassy in Washington issued a statement blaming Ukraine for the shelling, claiming a “disinformation campaign” in the U.S. media is falsely blaming Russian forces.

Flat earth people should hire Zelensky.
Zelensky is the new god of west.
Now, If Zelensky says human poop is good for heath, western journalists will first eat their own poop, NATO will say poop eating is essential for security and then all the people will stat eating poop as their staple food.

The US is responsible for the nazi attack
Russia controlls that power plant… why would they shell something they control, they wouldn't have to they can lay charges and blow it up from there if they wanted to… this is a false flag attack by ukraine to blame Russia
Ukraine did it for sure. Corrupted country. A clown president. Mr. Biden is wasting money on a joker.

Blaming Russia ideology is failing – US-Western collective media propaganda. Russian forces control the Nuke plant and great area around. Its the Ukrainian shelling the Nuke planet indiscriminately.
USA deceptive news reporting.. nothing new – all of US media is working as propaganda machine for Ukrainian lies.
Putin has no guts to go nuclear. He is just full of talks. He wasted so much military resources and manpower which he could have avoided should be used tactical nuclear in the very beginning. The war would not have last this long and affected Russia.
Trump the best President ever
If the Ukranian shelling damages this Power station it could potentially eradiate an area bigger the Chernobyl, into Romania, Bulgaria, Belarus and Russia.
This is a war crime of international prepositions.
NATO must stop the scammer Zelensky.
Stop lie! Ukraine do that provocation! Terrorist Kiev government!
strikes on nuclear power plants are carried out by the HIMARS system; it is proven that these weapons are being delivered to Ukraine.
The russian army is firing at themselves…
This is what the liberal media and Zelensky says. Wake up people! You still think Ukraine is not lying about being a victim? They provocated this war with the usa
