In a move to prioritize safety concerns, Ukraine’s nuclear energy agency has decided to temporarily suspend the operations of the country’s largest nuclear plant. The sixth and final reactor at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was placed in cool shutdown mode due to the ongoing flooding caused by the destruction of the Kakhovka dam, which also forced residents to flee the area. The Russian forces’ occupation of the plant further complicates the situation. Despite government reassurance that the flooding does not pose a threat to the nuclear plant’s core, the suspension of operations remains necessary. Meanwhile, violent clashes with Russian forces erupted in the eastern industrial region, with air strikes and artillery shelling reported in southern areas. Amid these conflicts, Ukraine claimed to have intercepted a phone call that implicates a Russian “sabotage group” in the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant and dam. The authenticity of the recording could not be independently verified.
