IAEA confirmed that during the struggle, the external power lines supplying the plant were supplied for the tenth time last week.
Emergency diesel generators were active to provide necessary electricity.
This power is important to cool the reactor fuel of the plant and prevent a possible recession.
External Affairs Minister Sibiha wrote on X that Russia had stolen the Ukrainian nuclear power plant.
He said that Russia is trying to forcibly integrate the plant in its own grid despite the increasing risk of an atomic event.
Sibiha said that she and the groxy agreed that the world could not allow the situation to continue.
He announced that providing IAEA temporary stewardship on the plant is the only realistic option. – Reuters
