IAEA completes another mission to Ukraine's high-voltage substations

According to Ukrinform, Ukraine's NPC Ukrenergo stated this on Facebook.

"Experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have completed another monitoring mission at key Ukrenergo facilities. Inspectors documented and recorded the consequences of Russian missile and drone attacks on high-voltage substations that provide power output and supply the internal needs of Ukrainian nuclear power plants," the statement said.

Ukrenergo CEO Vitalii Zaichenko said the company showed the IAEA mission the destruction of infrastructure at all critically important transmission substations that ensure the stable operation of nuclear power plants.

"We hope that documenting these facts and the strong condemnation of such actions by the international community will encourage stronger sanctions against Russia and thus serve as a deterrent against the aggressor state," Zaichenko added.

As previously reported, since the start of the full-scale invasion Russian forces have attacked substations critical to nuclear safety 155 times.

In addition, since February 2022 at least 127 incidents threatening nuclear and radiation safety have been recorded as a result of Russian aggression. These include 23 losses of external power supply to nuclear power plants and 25 direct strikes and shelling incidents involving drones, artillery, and missiles targeting NPP industrial sites or areas in their immediate vicinity.
