Rafael Grossi, head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog agency, advised Russia and Ukraine to use "maximum restraint" to "avoid a nuclear accident" as fighting intensifies in Russia's Kursk region.

On Friday, Russia said it is bringing more troops and weapons into Kursk where Ukrainian forces have launched a rare ground assault in Russian territory.

Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has warned of a nuclear accident if fighting around the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) continues.

"At this juncture, I would like to appeal to all sides to exercise maximum restraint in order to avoid a nuclear accident with the potential for serious radiological consequences," Grossi said in a statement released by the IAEA on Friday

At least it's just not Israel that has to use maximum restraints.

Another useless person sucking up our money just to state the obvious.

Our biggest problem, by far, is that almost all of big media is AGENDA-DRIVEN, not-truth driven.

Off topic, but if that's our biggest problem, then the solution is to cut the cord.

Everybody play nice!

"avoid a nuclear accident".

I'm a little more worried about a "nuclear on purpose"
because of NATO.

Me too!

What? Roooskys army is dumb, but not dumb enough to use a tactical nuke on Rooosky territory of Kursk.

[Gaffer]

And ‘who’ was the guy here telling us all that our fears of some kind of nuclear expansion because of URK this and that was stupid and needless?

[hanamizu]

Both Russia and Ukraine have had fairly recent first-hand knowledge of what can happen if things go wrong with a nuclear power plant. I doubt that either wants to see anything bad to happen with the power plant.

Is New York City and Washinton DC on that list?

> ...use maximum restraints.

WAR OBJECTIVES:

1. Kill lots of the other side's people.
2. Break lots of the other side's stuff.
3. Repeat #1 and #2 until the other side gives up.

What in Heaven's name about the above is compatible with, or even suggests, "maximum restraints"???

[ansel12]

If you look at wars there is a lot of restraint.

Maybe radioactive fallout, that (depending on the weather) might land on your own people and stuff?

Good points. Permit me to explain a bit better.

IMO, war is properly conducted when it convinces the enemy to give up: a) as soon as possible, b) with minimal loss of life and property, and c) with minimal collateral/friendly damage (civilians and one's own side).

To me, that means "use intelligence" and "develop good strategies" and "don't step on your own d*ck". OTOH, "Use maximum restraint" means "Don't try to win, just make a mess, and obey your Globalist Masters."

YMMV.

Dennis, the article has to do with a warning to avoid a nuclear power plant that is nearby.

[butlerweave]

When will the Russians blow it up ?

[libertylover]

Like me, you’ve probably already “cut the cord”, but most people get their “news” from the 6:30PM broadcasts.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

I sure have. I also avoid patronizing companies and a certain country that are actively working against us to the best of my ability.

But I can't do it alone.
