[REGNUM] United Nations Secretary General António Guterres is working closely with the IAEA leadership to organize a visit of agency inspectors to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. This was announced today, August 8, by the official representative of the head of the World Organization, Stephane Dujarric.
According to Dujarric, the UN leadership is extremely concerned about the situation around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which may be under attack. In this regard, the UN and the Secretary General hope that the IAEA will be able to send inspectors to the station to find out exactly what is happening there.
“The Secretary General works closely with the IAEA and supports the organization in every possible way,” Dujarric said.
As REGNUM reported earlier , on the night of August 7, Ukrainian troops again fired at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant from jet systems. It is worth noting that Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation, said that UN officials continue to hinder the IAEA leadership in carrying out objective monitoring of the state of the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

"Attacks on nuclear power plants are a suicidal act. We hope this stops. At the same time, we want the IAEA to gain access to the station," Antonio Guterres said at a press conference in Tokyo. In Japan, he took part in events dedicated to the 77th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima.
The statement is correct, but:
a) Antonio somehow "politically correct" kept silent that it was the Armed Forces of Ukraine that had been shelled from behind the Dnieper for many months by the Russian-controlled nuclear power plant. Moreover, if Russia was to blame for the shelling, this would certainly have been mentioned in the most condemning epithets.
b) Antonio also kept silent that the Russian side is not against it, it was the official Kyiv that imposed its veto on the visit of the station by the IAEA specialists to the station.
c) The "blind-sighted" General Secretary, "blurring" the responsibility for the bombing of nuclear power plants, actually encourages the Ukrainians, pushing them to insane terrorist acts.
The IAEA visit will never take place because it will not receive permission from Ukraine. If they wanted to, they would come there. Russia called on both the UN and the IAEA to sort it out on the spot directly at the nuclear power plant. But they won't do it. Security is only in words, and in the first place for them is a policy controlled from the USA.
By the way, not to name the guilty is apparently a favorite feature of the UN and the collective West as a whole. The same picture was a few days ago in Japan, when they remembered the victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Everyone spoke mournful speeches and again NONE of the speakers named those who dropped the atomic bomb. Whether it was Stalin, or the Martians. This fact is allegedly unknown to history.
