Ukraine war latest: IAEA finds no explosives at Russian-shown parts of occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant
Kyiv Independent ^ | July 5, 2023 | Dinara Khalilova

Posted on 07/05/2023 3:05:11 PM PDT by Reverend Wright

The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) experts have not found explosives during their recent inspections of parts of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

However, the on-site experts haven’t yet received access to the rooftops of reactor units three and four, as well as parts of the turbine halls and the cooling system, according to the IAEA’s July 5 press release.

Director General Rafael Grossi emphasized the importance of IAEA experts being able to inspect all parts of the nuclear power plant. “With military tension and activities increasing in the region where this major nuclear power plant is located, our experts must be able to verify the facts on the ground."

If it’s coming from Zalensky, it’s almost certain a lie.

same subject, but different details from another media source.

Hoping that coming from the “Kyiv” Independent might convince some Zeepers to give it up.

Not likely...

The Russians have no incentive to detonate explosives at the nuclear site. They are soundly trouncing the Ukrainians.

Zelensky, on the other hand, is desperate for the U.S. and NATO, to escalate the proxy war. His back is against the wall.

So, blow up the nuclear plant, and blame it on the Russians.
That is a great way to start World War 3.

Winston Zelensky must be on a cocaine toot.

Maybe he was at the White House last weekend.

Ukraine is like the UK in 1940. They can’t win without the USA joining the war.

And I am not sure that USA/NATO can win an all out multi-year war. They are too de-industrialized and too few Gen Y are actually fit for military service (21%)

If Russia can get 50%, they will have parity on combat numbers.

And like 1940, the people of the USA do not want to join this war, but the Globalist Elite does.

So they have to engineer a Gulf of Tonkin ...

Human Rights Watch reports new evidence of Ukrainian use of banned landmines

https://t.co/lKl3jaHF6Q

Did Zelensky facilitate the acquisition of the aforementioned landmines?

HRW is very late to the game.

The Ukrs have been firing these into Donetsk for years.

The New York Times reported recently on other things HRW reported on.

If HRW, NYT, etc, are now reporting on these things, then something is up.

That is significant. Because HRW and NYT has been ignoring this stuff, basically since 2014.

It may be with the Counter-Offensive flop they see no upside to endlessly supporting Ukr.

Also, the myth of NATO/USA equipment and training has been exposed, and that is much bigger damage.

Put F-16 in there and they go like the Bradleys... US deterrence has been based on bluff for a long time.

He already launched a missile into Poland and blamed it on Russia, so it’s not out of character for him.
It’s also like the dam they demo’d, blamed it on Russia.
There’s a pattern here.

Why would they. Does anyone with a brain really think that Russia wants to intentionally contaminate miles of land including their own. Only in stupid world would anyone believe that.

They all know its BS. Just like they all know it is BS that Russia blew up its own pipeline.

They take the Left/Progressive view that whatever lie is ok if you get what you want - which in their case is NATO war.

There is now a video going around on youtube of Zelensky calling on the west to execute preemptive nuclear strikes on Russia to show them what will happen if they start a nuclear war.

So to prevent Putin from starting a nuclear war we will start one - for demonstration purposes to prevent him from starting it first. What do you think Putin's counter targets would be. I am sure his folks have a little list.

This is utter insanity.

They should wait to address this until they can categorically rule
things in or out.
