International Atomic Energy Agency: Two power lines at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Ukraine were damaged

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Grossi revealed on the 9th local time that two off-site power supply lines at the Zaporozhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, which is currently controlled by Russia, were damaged. According to reports, the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant has a total of four off-site high-voltage power supply lines, as well as a backup line. The management said that the power demand of the nuclear power plant only needs an off-site high-voltage power supply line to meet.

In his statement on the same day, Grossi also noted that the International Atomic Energy Agency has lost remote monitoring data transmission from the safety and security systems of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in recent days, and the reason for the interruption of data transmission is unknown. But the IAEA still receives data transmissions from three other nuclear power plants controlled by Ukraine. Grossi said recent developments have increased the IAEA's concerns about the safety and security of Ukraine's nuclear facilities.

At the invitation of the Turkish Foreign Minister, Grossi will travel to Antalya, Turkey, on the 10th. He expressed the hope that the meeting held there would make progress on the issue of the safety and security of Ukraine's nuclear facilities and stressed that action must be taken now.

Earlier in the day, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Haleba issued a statement on social media saying that the power supply line of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant controlled by the Russian army was damaged and the nuclear power plant was completely cut off. However, the IAEA has confirmed that the cooling water in the Chernobyl spent fuel storage tank can effectively dissipate heat without electricity supply, and that the power outage at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has no significant impact on safety.

The Russian-Ukrainian negotiations have "made some progress" to open up more evacuation routes for civilians

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a press conference on the 9th that the negotiations with the Ukrainian side have "made some progress" and that the next round of negotiations will focus on the humanitarian passage of evacuated civilians.

She stressed that the purpose of the Russian special military operation "is not to occupy Ukraine, destroy the country or overthrow its government, and is not aimed at civilians."

On the same day, Russia and Ukraine agreed to open more humanitarian routes and evacuate more civilians from some conflict areas to safer areas. The Ukrainian side said that the military agreed to a ceasefire along these passages from 9:00 to 21:00 local time on the 9th.

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshyk said at a press conference on the 9th that the Ukrainian side has agreed to open 6 evacuation channels. Among them, the inhabitants of AgnelGodar and Mariupol will withdraw to the southeastern cities of Zaporozhye on the same day; the population of Volnovaha will withdraw to Pokrovsk; the residents of Samui will withdraw to Poltava; the eastern city of Ijum will open an evacuation route; and another route will include the small cities of Ilpin, Bucha and Gostomelli on the northwestern outskirts of the capital Kiev.

According to the Associated Press, people evacuated from the small town of Ilpin first crossed a river to Kiev, and many of them were then arranged to take a train to western Ukraine. In recent days, thousands of people have entered Kiev along this route.

Vleshyk said that the Ukrainian side has coordinated with the Russian side on the above evacuation route and sent a letter to the International Red Cross requesting assistance.

According to Ukrainian officials, on the route of withdrawing from Samui, about 5,000 people had left in buses on the 8th.

However, the Russian side accused the Ukrainian side of obstructing the withdrawal. Zakharova said at a press conference on the 9th that the Ukrainian side "deliberately did not convey information about humanitarian channels to the people" and that "those who wished to go to Russia were forced to evacuate in the direction of Western countries."

The Russian side has previously proposed several evacuation routes, and the Ukrainian side refuses to accept some of them on the grounds that they lead to Russia or Belarus.

Zakharova said about 2 million ukrainians have applied to be evacuated to Russia, and about 140,000 have entered Russia's territory.

The Russian and Ukrainian delegations held the third round of negotiations in the Belovezh Forest in Belarus on the 7th, reaching consensus on opening a humanitarian passage for civilians to evacuate and the two armies entering a "state of silence" along the passage to ensure the safety of evacuation, but limited progress on political and military issues. The two sides agreed to continue intensive consultations.

Zakharova said on the 9th that the Ukrainian side has confirmed that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kureba will hold talks during the Turkish Antalya Diplomatic Forum on the 10th. The Russian side believes that if all goes well, the talks between the two sides will be held as scheduled.

Russian media: The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is still under control and is currently working normally

On the 9th local time, the Russian official rumor-busting website "Fighting with Fake News" published an article saying that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is still under control, and the staff normally monitors and operates the equipment.

The article said on the same day that it did not see any violations of safety at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Earlier in the day, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported a loss of contact with sensors at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which had been explained in an earlier article, which did not mean that there was a problem at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but that there was an internet outage in Ukraine.

Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba said there was a danger of nuclear radiation at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. He noted that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which is connected to a backup diesel generator, will provide power to the facility for 48 hours, after which the cooling system for storing nuclear fuel will be shut down.

Russian Ministry of Defense: The power supply facilities of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant were attacked by Ukrainian nationalists

Russian Deputy Defense Minister Pankov said on the 9th local time that Ukrainian nationalists carried out extremely dangerous provocative acts and attacked the lines and substations that powered the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Russian experts have taken swift steps to switch to backup diesel generators to power the power station, but the Ukrainian side has found ways to delay any repair and restoration of the power supply to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba issued a statement on social media on the 9th, saying that the power supply line of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant controlled by the Russian army was damaged, and the nuclear power plant was completely cut off. The IAEA said the heat load and the volume of cooling water in the Chernobyl spent fuel storage pool were sufficient to effectively remove heat without the need for electricity supply, and that power outages at nuclear power plants had no significant impact on safety.

Russia's official rumor-busting website "Fighting Fake News" earlier published an article saying that there were media reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency that the situation at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant had deteriorated, which was false news.
