Bargaining Chip: Zaporozhie NPP As Part Of Ukrainian Deal

Illustrative Image

Trump claimed that the control of the Zaporozhie Power Plant is being discussed in negotiations on the Ukrainian crisis. Judging by various reports, Kiev, which has lost large territories, would like to take back control of the station.

The Kremlin has confirmed that Putin and Trump will hold phone talks on March 18. They will discuss Ukraine and the prospects for a ceasefire. The issue of the Zaporozhie Nuclear Power Plant will probably also be touched upon.

Amid the new statements in Washington and media hype about the control of the nuclear power plant, Moscow took an important step. On March 17, the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to International Organizations in Vienna declared that the Russian side will no longer continue the rotations of observers of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) at the Zaporozhie NPP through Ukrainian territory. The rotation will be carried out only through the territory that is under Russian control.

Such a statement is an important signal from Moscow, which underlines its position on the status of the NPP. In addition to the diplomatic signal, the decision to stop the rotation of the IAEA staff is also a response to numerous Ukrainian provocations. On March 2, for the first time the rotation of IAEA observers at the Zaporozhie NPP took place without the participation of the Ukrainian side, completely on the territory of Russia under the protection of Russian military personnel. Rotations on Ukrainian territory stopped after another attack by the Ukrainian military. In February, Zelensky’s troops shelled a convoy with IAEA staff at the nuclear power plant, and launched another drone into the territory of the station. Constant Ukrainian attacks continue for years.

 

 

After numerous dangerous provocations by Kiev, and the hypocritical silence of the IAEA observers, who have not been able to directly name the perpetrators, Trump reportedly wants to give control of the nuclear power plant to Ukraine. It is unlikely that the Russian Federation will discuss the status of the nuclear power plant and adjacent territories with the United States. The NPP is a strategic asset that ensures the energy supply to the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, where Russia will restore and rebuild the entire infrastructure, as well as to Crimea and other areas. On the other hand, Kiev, which has lost vast territories, has enough stations remaining under its control, and the Zaporozhie nuclear power plant is needed only as a source of additional energy for sale to Europe.

saying it again for posterity… it’s a miracle that russia didn’t raze kiev when the first attempts were made to sabotage it. especially after chernobyl was sabotaged in 1986!… only reason for that level of restraint rests at the feet of it’s titular head and the “fifth column” that owns him and his government!

as long as there are ukrainians who talk about nuclear weapons there should not keep any nuclear powerplant unless it is under a neutral monitoring to ensure no material is put aside for weapons.

if zelensky wants it, he should be strapped to the reactor with a sign “i own it now and feeling all tingly inside from my victory.’

vanya what is it about your people, that makes them so intellectually inferior? the title of this article amongst other things such as putin giving amnesty to ukrainian troops encircled at “kursk.” just proves why this war has been dragging on for so long and caused the russian federation a whooping 700,000 men! seriously the “strategic blunders” putin has made since feb 22, untill now: rivals the many “strategic blunders” hitler made in ww2.

Clyde

it was probably 7 million men, and clearly, the russians are sitting in a position equivalent to nazi germany after three years of conflict with soviet union. thanks for derping, jizz-rag.

Dumb, Dumber, Russiya!

with the stupidity of the russian leadership just give them some more time, and they will find themselves in the same position as nazi germany.
