China News Network on June 6 Comprehensive foreign media reported that on the 8th local time, Russian President Putin talked about the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovka hydropower station during a phone call with Turkish President Erdogan, saying that the Kiev regime continues to "bet" on escalating the conflict, and the barbaric destruction of the Kakhovka hydropower station confirms this.
On June 2023, 6, local time, a screenshot of the damage to the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam provided by the Office of the President of Ukraine.
It was previously reported that the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant in the Kherson region was recently damaged and caused flooding, putting about 4,2 people living along the Dnieper at risk.
According to the Russian satellite network, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a phone call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the Ukrainian side, at the behest of Western manipulators, "is making dangerous bets on the escalation of hostilities, openly using terrorist means, organizing sabotage, and barbaric destruction of the Kakhovka hydropower station confirms this." This has led to a wide-ranging ecological and humanitarian disaster. Agence France-Presse said that this is the first time Putin has publicly expressed his position on this after the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was broken.
However, the Ukrainian side blamed Russia for the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said a few days ago that he had informed IAEA Director General Grossi of the "serious consequences of Russia's terrorist attack on the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam" and discussed a plan to minimize the safety risks of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant.
On the other hand, IAEA Director General Grossi warned in an interview with the Russian Satellite News Agency that after the destruction of the Kakhovka hydropower plant, the water level in the cooling pool of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant reactor gradually decreased; If the situation deteriorates further, the reactor may be severely damaged in the medium term due to the loss of cooling capacity.
But Grossi stressed that there is no need to panic just yet. "I think there could be some consequences in the medium term, not in the distant future, if the situation gets worse," Grossi said. But we haven't come this far yet. The situation is grim. ”
Grossi explained that after the incident, the cooling pool that played an important role in cooling the reactor "gradually dropped water levels." If the cooling capacity is lost, a meltdown can occur, radioactive consequences may occur, and environmental impacts may occur.
In addition, the press service of the Russian Federal Biomedical Service said that at present, the radiation level of the Zaporizhzhya NPP does not exceed the standard. "The radiation level of the Zaporizhzhya NPP is being monitored every day, and no exceedings have been found so far," the announcement said. ”
