3 reasons .. Why does #Russia insist on its presence in "#Zaporegia "? #us #bitcoin

While world leaders are calling for Russia to withdraw from the Zaporizhia nuclear plant, the largest in Europe, to avoid a catastrophe, Moscow insists on its presence, which analysts attributed to 3 reasons, including "its geographical location that helps stop Ukraine's progress in the southern part" and "a pressure factor with Winter is near."

International and international organizations called for the plant to be returned to Ukraine, stressing the importance that "the Ukrainian employees who operate the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia are able to perform their duties without being threatened or pressured."

The Ukrainian operating company, Energotom, said that "Russian forces are preparing to connect the station with Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014," noting that "they are harming it by continuing to redirect electricity production."

The battles between the two sides over the nuclear power plant raise global fears of a nuclear catastrophe. As the two sides trade blame for the attacks, world leaders have called for a demilitarized zone around the nuclear site.

Stop the progress of Ukraine

Cedric Layton, a retired US Air Force colonel, said that Zaporizhia's importance lies not only in the energy it produces but in its very important strategic location.

Layton added that "the nuclear power plant maintained by Russia, basically, is an obstacle to Ukraine's progress in the southern part of the country where the Zaporizhzhya plant itself is located on the Russian side, and the city of Zaporizhia is located on the other side, the Ukrainian, which is why the Ukrainians did not advance and that To keep this nuclear plant as safe as possible."

He pointed out that "any penetration operations by the Ukrainians, there are increasing radiation risks in the entire region and the possibility of repeating the Fukushima tragedy, is a hostage in the hands of the Russians and a tool of pressure on the entire international community."

Winter and energy

"Moscow is planning to disconnect the station in a risky attempt to turn it into the Russian network," with these words the French academic, Arthur Lydekebrik, began his speech to "Sky News Arabia", pointing out that what is happening is a systematic plan, but its repercussions will be dire.

An interruption to the power supply to the plant could lead, according to Lydekebreck, to "disruption of the cooling systems necessary for the safe operation of the reactors, while emergency diesel generators are sometimes unreliable".

He continued, "The plant contains six reactors, but only two of them are operating at the moment, and it is unclear whether there are currently any interruptions in the power supply at the plant, which has 18 diesel generators as back-up sources of power for the reactors."

On the possibility of diverting its destination to the areas controlled by Russia, especially Crimea, Lydykebrik said that the only way to do this requires the complete closure of the station and a complete cut off of all lines connected to the Ukrainian territory because the frequencies at the moment are different.

While he warned that "in the event that the last line is damaged, there will be interruptions throughout the station, which is a dangerous situation, because it will depend on diesel generators only, and they are not trustworthy because they need fuel to work, and they also have a limited ability to remain in working mode." Constantly foreshadowing the horrific scenario and a greater catastrophe than Chernobyl and Fukushima."

Lydekbrik called for the nuclear plant to be removed from the current battles and conflict in order to avoid a nuclear catastrophe, adding, "The region has become a time bomb and the continuation of accusations paves the way for an escalating crisis that will only end with Russia's withdrawal and return to Ukraine as soon as possible, which is an almost impossible demand, especially as it is considered a pressure card that Moscow will not abandon with close proximity." The worst winter for Ukraine.

Bonnie Jenkins, a senior official at the US State Department, warned Thursday that Russia's actions at the plant "created a grave risk of a nuclear accident, a dangerous radioactive release that could threaten not only the people and environment in Ukraine, but also neighboring countries and the international community." entirety".

For her part, the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Arms Control and International Security called on Russia to stop its military activities around the station, stressing the importance of visiting the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed, during a telephone conversation with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, that the International Atomic Energy Agency would send a mission to the Zaporizhia nuclear plant, expressing his fear that the bombing around the station would lead to a "large-scale catastrophe."
