Nuke watchdog warns attacks on Russia-controlled plant ‘must stop now’ as smoke seen billowing out

Shocking photos captured smoke billowing out of a Russia-controlled nuclear power plant in Ukraine — a “reckless” attack that risked a major “nuclear accident,” according to the head of the international nuclear watchdog.

Thick, black smoke was seen Sunday exiting the top of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant that Russia captured shortly after launching its full-scale attack on Ukraine in 2022.

The massive fire followed multiple explosions hitting the vast, six-reactor facility, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) nuclear watchdog, which has staff there.

“These reckless attacks endanger nuclear safety at the plant and increase the risk of a nuclear accident,” IAEA chief Rafael Grossi warned in a statement.

“They must stop now.”

A non-functioning cooling tower was damaged in the fire, Ukraine’s nuclear power company Energoatom said in a statement.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said initial tests showed that “the radiation indicators are normal.

“But as long as Russian terrorists maintain control over the nuclear plant, the situation is not and cannot be normal,” he wrote on Facebook.

So they know the Ukes shelled a nuclear reactor. They saw with their own eyes, yet silence. Not a peep of criticism. Can’t upset the western wallet now, can we?

Zelensky is not a president. He is a dictator.

He cancelled elections. Once his term expired he became a dictator.

Even Lincoln in the midst of civil war stood for reelection.

Zelensky is an installed puppet of the Biden regime.

It’s not called “The Swamp” for nothing.

The thing of it is, Hunter’s $1M a year was the extent of the Biden Crime Family’s appreciation of the effort. If Joe couldn’t stuff it into a car or put it in a Swiss bank account, he wasn’t interested.

Hillary didn’t start this as SOS to make Biden richer. The ‘Rats didn’t cheat in everyone’s face in 2020 and aren’t fighting tooth-and-nail now because Trump is Hitler.

None of the Swamp wants to get caught - Nancy Pelosi or Linsdsay Graham.

Why are the Russians setting off tire fires in a cooling tower?
