RUSSIA, UKRAINE TRADE ACCUSATIONS OVER NUCLEAR PLANT ATTACKS

Associated Press | By Susie Blann

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia and Ukraine traded accusations Monday that each side is
shelling Europe's biggest nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine. Russia
claimed that Ukrainian shelling caused a power surge and fire and forced staff
to lower output from two reactors, while Ukraine has blamed Russian troops for
storing weapons there.

Nuclear experts have warned that more shelling of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power
station, which was captured by Russia early in the war, is fraught with danger.




The Kremlin echoed that Monday, claiming that Kyiv was attacking the plant and
urging Western powers to force a stop to that.

“Shelling of the territory of the nuclear plant by the Ukrainian armed forces is
highly dangerous,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. “It’s fraught
with catastrophic consequences for vast territories, for the entire Europe.”

Ukraine's military intelligence spokesman, Andriy Yusov, countered that Russian
forces have planted explosives at the plant to head off an expected Ukrainian
counteroffensive in the region. Previously, Ukrainian officials have said Russia
is launching attacks from the plant and using Ukrainian workers there as human
shields.

Yusov called on Russia to "make a goodwill gesture and hand over control of the
plant to an international commission and the IAEA (International Atomic Energy
Agency), if not to the Ukrainian military.”

Ukraine's ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets, likewise urged that the United Nations,
the IAEA and the international community send a delegation to “completely
demilitarize the territory” and provide security guarantees to plant employees
and the city where the plant is based, Enerhodar.

He accused Russia of “nuclear terrorism.”

The IAEA is the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog. Its director-general, Rafael Grossi,
told The Associated Press last week that the situation surrounding the
Zaporizhzhia plant “is completely out of control,” and issued an urgent plea to
Russia and Ukraine to allow experts to visit the complex to stabilize the
situation and avoid a nuclear accident.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres voiced support for that idea Monday,
saying, "any attack to a nuclear plant is a suicidal thing.”

One expert in nuclear materials at Imperial College London said the reactor at
Zaporizhzhia is modern and housed inside a heavily reinforced steel-and-concrete
building designed to protect against disasters.

“As such, I do not believe there would be a high probably of a breach of the
containment building, even if it was accidently struck by an explosive shell,
and even less likely the reactor itself could be damaged,” said Mark Wenman at
the college's Nuclear Energy Futures.

He also said the complex's spent fuel tanks, where the shells reportedly hit,
are strong and probably don't contain much spent fuel.

“Although it may seem worrying, and any fighting on a nuclear site would be
illegal according to international law, the likelihood of a serious nuclear
release is still small,” he said.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Lt. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the attack
Sunday caused a power surge and smoke, triggering an emergency shutdown. Fire
teams extinguished flames, and the plant’s personnel lowered the output of
reactors No. 5 and No. 6 to 500 megawatts, he said.

And the head of the Ukrainian company operating the plant said all but one power
line connecting it to Ukraine’s energy system had been destroyed. Petro Kotin,
head of the Ukrainian state corporation Eherhoatom, blamed Russian shelling and
said a blackout would be “very unsafe for such a nuclear facility.”

As fighting continued on the front lines of the war, the United States on Monday
pledged another $1 billion in new military aid for Ukraine. It would be the
biggest delivery yet of rockets, ammunition and other arms straight from U.S.
Department of Defense stocks for Ukrainian forces.

The latest announcement brings total U.S. security assistance committed to
Ukraine by the Biden administration to $9.1 billion since Russian troops invaded
on Feb. 24.

Ukraine’s presidential office said the Russians had shelled seven Ukrainian
regions over the previous 24 hours, killing five people. Among the targets, it
said, was Nikopol, a city just across the Dnieper River from the Zaporizhzhia
nuclear plant. Gas pipelines, plumbing and power lines were no longer
functioning there, leaving thousands of people without electricity.

Russian rockets and artillery also hit eight municipalities in the northern Sumy
region on Monday, killing one person, authorities there said.

Ukrainian forces struck Russian-controlled areas in the south, officials there
said, including the strategic Antonivskiy bridge in the southern city of
Kherson. An artery for Russian military supplies, the bridge has been closed in
recent weeks because of earlier shelling. Plans to reopen it on Wednesday were
now shelved, said Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Moscow-appointed
administration of the Kherson region.

Meanwhile, one of the ships that left Ukraine on Friday under a deal to unblock
grain supplies and stave off a global food crisis arrived in Turkey, the first
loaded vessel to reach its destination. The Turkey-flagged Polarnet, laden with
12,000 tons of corn, docked at the port of Derince.

“This sends a message of hope to every family in the Middle East, Africa, and
Asia: Ukraine won’t abandon you,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba
tweeted. “If Russia sticks to its obligations, the ‘grain corridor’ will keep
maintaining global food security.”

Twelve ships have now been authorized to sail under the grain deal between
Ukraine and Russia, which was brokered by Turkey and the United Nations — 10
outbound and two inbound. Some 322,000 metric tons of agricultural products have
left Ukrainian ports, the bulk of it corn but also sunflower oil and soya.

Four ships that left Ukraine on Sunday were expected to anchor near Istanbul on
Monday evening for inspection Tuesday to make sure they are carrying only food
items.

The first cargo ship to leave Ukraine, the Sierra Leone-flagged Razoni, which
left Odesa on Aug. 1, hit a snag with delivery, however. It was heading for
Lebanon with 26,000 metric tons of corn for chicken feed but the corn’s buyer in
Lebanon refused to accept the cargo, since it was delivered so much later than
its contract, Ukraine's embassy in Beirut said.

Kareem Chehayeb in Beirut, Mehmet Guzel in Derince, Turkey, and Andrew Wilks in
Istanbul contributed.
