The International Atomic Energy Agency has lost contact with monitoring systems at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Earlier, the station was seized by Russian invaders.

This was stated by the Director General of the IAEA Rafael Grossi, writes  Reuters .

“Remote transmission of data from the safeguards monitoring systems installed at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant has been lost,” the agency said.

Recall that the Russian military captured the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after fierce fighting on February 24. The station is operating as planned, but the staff is being held hostage. People cannot go out, they have set up temporary hostels and eat once a day.

Ukraine called the seizure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant by the Russians nuclear terrorism. The Russians violate the requirements of radiation safety. This poses a threat not only to Ukraine, but to the whole world.
