Russia: Ukrainian forces are trying to occupy the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant
Recently, the zaporozhye nuclear power plant area has been shelled continuously, and the risk of nuclear accidents has risen sharply. The plant is the largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine and one of the largest in Europe, and if an explosion occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it may be a real disaster for the whole of Europe.
On September 1, local time, the Russian Ministry of Defense issued a notice saying that at about 6 o'clock Moscow time on September 1, two sabotage teams of up to 60 people of the Ukrainian army landed on 7 ships along the coast of the Kakhovka Reservoir, 3 kilometers northeast of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, and tried to "occupy" the nuclear power plant. The Russians took action to "eliminate the enemy forces," including the dispatch of aviation units to carry out their missions.
According to CCTV news reports, the Russian Defense Ministry also said that on September 1, the Ukrainian army continued to shell the village of Vasilievka and the area near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant that was scheduled to meet the IAEA delegation, and four shells exploded 400 meters away from unit 1 of the nuclear power plant.
On the same day, Rogov, a local official in Zaporozhye, said that according to preliminary data, the fifth unit of the Zaporizhian nuclear power plant was shut down due to shelling by the Ukrainian armed forces, the protective device was triggered, and the backup power line was damaged. Rogov said that the current radiation levels at the Zaporizhian nuclear power plant are normal, and preliminary information shows that the explosion at a distance of 400 meters from Unit 1 is likely to be a 155-millimeter caliber shell supplied by the West to Ukraine.
However, the Ukrainian side accused the Russian side of launching an artillery attack. According to the Ukrainian Interfax News Agency, the Ukrainian State Nuclear Power Company issued a notice saying that at 4:57 a.m. on September 1, the emergency protection of Unit V had been activated and stopped as a result of the Russian bombardment of the site of the Zaporizhian nuclear power plant.
On the 1st, the IAEA delegation set off for the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in the city of Energodar. However, due to the shelling, the convoy of the delegation stopped advancing halfway. The latest news indicates that an IAEA delegation has arrived at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. According to the civil-military administration of zaporozhye, the IAEA delegation will work at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant at least 2 September and stay in Zaporizhia Oblast until 3 (not included).
The Russian Ministry of Defense said that although the Ukrainian side tried to sabotage the visit of the IAEA delegation to the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the Russian side confirmed that it was ready to receive the delegation with full guarantees for the next step of work, and the situation of the nuclear power plant was complicated but completely under control.
According to the Ukrainian State News Agency reported on September 1, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nikolenko said on the same day that the Russian army shelled the route of the International Atomic Energy Agency delegation to the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant. Nicolenko said that the Russian side should immediately stop the provocation and let the IAEA delegation pass safely.
The chairman of the board of directors of The Russian Oil Company fell to his death
On September 1, according to the Global Network Comprehensive "Izvestia", Interfax And telegraph agency and other Russian media reports, The Chairman of the Board of Directors of The Russian Lukoil Company Ravel Maganov fell to his death in the Moscow Central Clinical Hospital on the 1st. Authorities are investigating his death.
According to the Interfax news agency, a source told the media on September 1 that Maganov died after falling from a window in a ward of the Central Clinical Hospital that day. Law enforcement officers are working on the spot.
According to the China News Network quoted TASS news agency, law enforcement agencies said that Maganov committed suicide.
However, Lukoil responded that Maganov died after a "serious illness". Lukoil also noted Maganov's valuable contribution to the development of the company and the Russian oil and gas industry as a whole.
Reuters noted that Lukoil is Russia's second-largest oil producer.
WHITE HOUSE: The G7 will discuss price limits on Russian oil
White House press secretary Karina Jean-Pierre said on Aug. 31 that the Group of Seven (G7) finance ministers would discuss u.S. President Joe Biden's proposal to put a price cap on Russian oil when they met on Sept. 2, Xinhua reported. The G7 includes the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada.
In response to media questions at a regular White House news conference on the same day, Jean-Pierre said that Biden and other G7 leaders have instructed their teams to explore a mechanism to set a global oil price cap. According to the US side, the mechanism aims to depress the price of Russian oil and promote the decline in global energy prices.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen said in a meeting with British Chancellor of the Exchequer Nazim Zahawi on the same day that the price cap on Russian oil is "one of the most powerful tools" to combat inflation and ensure a stable flow of oil into the global market at lower prices.
Despite the decline in Russian oil exports, Russian oil export earnings rose by $700 million month-on-month due to higher oil prices, 40 percent higher than last year's average, according to recent data released by the International Energy Agency.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously said that proposals such as the Group of Seven to restrict oil imports from Russia and set a price cap on Russian oil can only lead to oil prices soaring like the price of natural gas. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak said in July that if the Group of Seven limits the price of Russian petroleum products, Russia will not supply oil to the outside world at a loss.
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the EU has imposed seven rounds of sanctions on Russia. On August 31, local time, German Federal Foreign Minister Berberk said that the Eu is negotiating on the eighth round of sanctions, and Russian oil exports may become the focus of sanctions. The sanctions are likely to set a price cap on Russian oil exports.
The Israeli military airstrikes syrian airports
Tensions also continue in the Middle East, with the Israeli military attacking Syrian airfields with missiles.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the Syrian military issued a statement on August 31 that Israel had airstrikes on the international airport in Aleppo, a major town in southeastern Damascus and northern Syria, causing damage to some facilities.
The statement said that at about 21:18 on August 31, Israel launched a missile attack on "some locations" in southeast Damascus, and the Syrian air defense system intercepted the incoming missiles and shot down some missiles, causing damage to some facilities. The statement did not specify the location of the attack.
According to the statement, Israel also launched a missile attack on Aleppo International Airport at about 8 p.m. that night, causing damage to airport facilities.
After the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, the Israeli military repeatedly attacked targets in Syria on the grounds of attacking Iranian military facilities. Both the Syrian and Iranian governments deny that Iran has troops in Syria.
At the same time, the illegal U.S. military presence in Syria frequently smuggles Syrian oil. According to the Syrian News Agency on August 29, the United States illegally stationed troops in Syria using 123 tank trucks, full of oil stolen from the oil fields in northeast Syria, in batches to the direction of Iraq. Since August, the US military has stolen Syrian oil at least eight times, resulting in energy shortages in Syria, and the Syrian government and people have repeatedly condemned the US act, accusing it of seriously exacerbating the humanitarian disaster in Syria.
Two South Korean military helicopters collided
According to overseas network reports, Yonhap News Agency quoted the South Korean Army as saying that at noon on September 1, two helicopters collided in the air in a certain unit of the Army in Baochuan City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, resulting in 1 injury and no death.
The South Korean Army said two domestically made Surion helicopters collided and landed urgently while parachuting at low altitudes. The two helicopters each carrying 9 soldiers, 1 of whom had a laceration in the scalp, had been taken to the hospital for treatment, where the remaining soldiers would also be examined.
According to the preliminary understanding of the South Korean military, no civilians have suffered losses or casualties due to the accident, and the helicopter has not been seriously damaged.
The Perfect Eagle helicopter is south Korea's first domestic helicopter to be developed at a cost of about $1.06 billion since 2006. In 2012, the helicopter was used in the actual combat deployment of the South Korean Army. In 2015, there were 3 crashes in the Perfect Eagle helicopter. In 2017, the helicopter was found to have flaws in the cabin design, and even leaked water on rainy days.
Poland demanded 6.2 trillion zlotys of World War II reparations to Germany
According to CCTV News, Kaczyński, chairman of Poland's ruling Law and Justice Party, said on September 1 that the Polish government would claim compensation to Germany for the Nazi invasion and occupation of Poland during World War II, with a total amount of 6.2 trillion zlotys (about 9.07 trillion yuan).
On the 1st, the Polish government released a report detailing the material losses suffered by Poland during World War II and demanding compensation from Germany, which Kaczynski made to Germany at the ceremony of the report. He believes that Poland, as the first victim of World War II, did not receive the compensation it deserved from Germany.
Polish Prime Minister Mikhail Morawiecki said the report was "an important step in regaining reparations from Germany" and that "without truth and reparations", there can be no real reconciliation between Poland and Germany.
