IAEA calls on Ukraine, Russia to spare Zaporizhzhia's cooling pond
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant should have enough water to cool its reactors for “some months” from a pond located above the reservoir of a nearby dam that has broken, the UN atomic watchdog said on Tuesday, calling for the pond to be spared.
“It is therefore vital that this cooling pond remains intact. Nothing must be done to potentially undermine its integrity. I call on all sides to ensure nothing is done to undermine that,” International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi said in a statement
Meanwhile, the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine will not prevent Ukrainian troops from advancing, a senior Ukrainian commander said on Tuesday.
"As for preventing our offensive actions, the military command has taken into full account such treacherous enemy actions, and it should not prevent our advance in those directions where there may be spillage of water," Serhiy Naev, commander of the joint forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, was quoted as saying by the state news agency Ukrinform.
