The IAEA mission arrived in Zaporizhzhya on August 31, the IAEA mission arrived in Zaporozhye. The media reported that a visit to the NPP would last until Saturday. At the same time, CEO Rafael Grosssey said it could be continued.

Video Day Russian BBC Service reported that in order to block the IAEA mission, the invaders refused to make it a special pass and those stuck on the checkpoint. The so -called member of the "Main Council" of Zaporizhzhya region, collaborator Volodymyr Rogov stated that representatives of the mission allegedly could "quickly and without obstacles" to reach NPP from Russia. The TASS propaganda agency claims that the mission is expected on September 1.

The head of the Nikopol district Yevgeny Yevtushenko informed that the Russian troops fired at the city of Energodar, Zaporizhzhya region to create an appropriate picture for the IAEA commission and to convince the locals on cameras to declare IAEA representatives about the shelling of the city on the Ukrainian side of the reservoir. Ukraine has submitted to the IAEA experts a list of technical and safety indicators, which are important to check during a visit to the NPP.

Energoatom stated that the main results of the mission work should be the demilitarization of the Zaporozhye NPP and the return of full control of Ukraine over the station. A column of cars of the International Atomic Energy Agency left Kiev to the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant in the morning of August 31. She arrived in Kiev the day before. The Chairman Raphael Grossi met with President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.

The IAEA mission's visit, the main international organization in the field of nuclear energy, began to be discussed in early August, when the provocations of the Russian Federation with shelling of the NPP increased. The largest nuclear power plant, Zaporizhzhya NPP, Russian invaders were captured after battles in Energodar on March 4. The buildings were damaged by Russian shelling in several places, and the staff of the station were captured.

The Kremlin uses the Zaporozhye NPP to cover its military equipment because the Armed Forces cannot open fire in the area of ​​the power plant, as well as for pressure on Ukraine and the world, threatening a nuclear disaster. Russian troops have equipped fire positions for the ZPP and fired from there Ukrainian cities.

Energoatom reported that the military of the Russian Federation had placed in the machine hall of the first power unit of Zaporizhzhya NPP at least 14 units of heavy military equipment with ammunition, weapons and explosives. On August 22, the invaders brought additional APCs and special cargoes to the station repair area. In total, more than 40 units of military equipment of Russians have been stationed in the station.

In recent weeks, the invaders have repeatedly arranged provocations with shelling. Energoatom reported that Russia is preparing to disconnect the Zaporozhye NPP from the power system of Ukraine. On August 25, Russian invaders provoked the first in the history of the NPP temporary disconnection from the power grid.

On August 16, the head of the Zaporizhzhya Ova Alexander Starukh called on the residents of the temporarily captured energy to evacuate through the shelling of Russia of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant. He stated that in the event of an accident, about 400,000 people from two regions would have to be evacuated. The EU Foreign Ministers have agreed to completely stop the simplified visa visa procedure on August 31, the Chairman of European Diplomacy Josep Borrel.

The Borel Twitter states that the number of Russia's border crossings with neighboring countries has increased significantly since mid -July, and this is becoming a threat to security. "Today, we have agreed with the EU Foreign Ministers to suspend the Visa Agreement between the EU and Russia [has been in operation since 2007]," he confirmed. Borrel added that many Russians go to Europe for vacation and shopping, "as if there is no war in Ukraine," Reuters reports.

According to the EU diplomacy chairman, the decision to suspend a simplified visa agreement "will significantly reduce the number of new visas issued by EU Member States" and will be more difficult and longer. He also reported that the EU would not recognize the passports of the Russian Federation, which were issued in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, and the EU countries that borders with Russia will be able to limit the entry of the Russians themselves.

Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called for a complete visa ban for Russian citizens. He is convinced that this could be one of the most effective measures against Russia. Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have stated that they were ready to take "national measures" to reduce the number of Russians entering their countries until the EU has made a collective decision. Some EU countries, including Germany and France, oppose the full visa prohibition.

The Ukrainian forces have succeeded in three directions in the Kherson region "I can confirm that in the Kherson district, in Kakhovsky and Beryslavsky there are success in our Armed Forces," - said the deputy chairman of the Kherson regional council Yuri Sobolevsky on the air of Telemarhon. Sobolevsky noted that the rest of the details will comment on the command of the Ukrainian army. He urged to help the Armed Forces, not to "talk about their successes.

" The deputy chairman of the Kherson regional council added that some of the collaborators left the Kherson region after the attacks of the Ukrainian army. On August 29, in the Kherson region, the defenders of Ukraine went on a counter -offensive, forcing the DNR Regiment and paratroopers to quit positions and flee. The operational command of the South stated that the Armed Forces had launched offensive actions from many directions in the south of Ukraine.

At the same time in the General Staff of the Armed Forces advised Ukrainians to be patient, as the process of de -occupation can be long. The army of the Russian Federation can remain "almost without shells, artillery and armored vehicles," The Insider writes this conclusion that the journalists of the investigative project in their material Farewell, weapons! By the end of the year, Russia will remain almost without shells, artillery and armored vehicles.

According to them, against the background of a significant reduction of artillery shells and good armored vehicles of the Russian Federation cannot continue the full industrial production of weapons and replenish their reserves through sanctions.

"Soviet shells for artillery could not be stored for a long time, and already in the summer of 2002, during the second Chechen campaign, the Russian army collided with a deficit of artillery shells of the main calibers 122 mm and 152 mm," - reminds The INSIDER. Not only Chechen Wars and War in Georgia, but also the eight previous years of war with Ukraine (since 2014), and even more - a campaign in Syria, the investigators said.

Moreover, in the current war with Ukraine the pace of expenditures of Russian shells is much higher than in the previous wars. According to The Insider estimates, by the end of 2017, Russia resumed 1. 7 million ammunition and missiles of all types (ie about 570 thousand annually-since 2014, when such a program began).

Further, based on the calculations on the revenue of the relevant industry enterprises and holdings of the Russian Federation, investigators evaluate the ratio of repair and production of new ammunition as 1: 2. “That is, every 570,000 recovered shells account for up to 1. 14 million new ones. Thus, the total annual rate of replenishment of artillery arsenals in the 2010s did not exceed 1. 6-1. 7 million shells of all types [every year], ”said The Insider.

Whereas in the course of the half year of the war against Ukraine Russia probably has already spent at least 7 million shells - without taking into account the losses of frontier warehouses as a result of Ukrainian blows.

The Armed Forces hit the column of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which moved in the direction of Kherson, the People's Deputy from the servant of the people Yuri Misyagin declared a blow to the column of Russian invaders, which went through Oleshki towards the temporarily controlled Russian Kherson to help the occupiers, who are there. The People's Deputy published a video on which, as claimed, the consequences of the destruction of the technique of Russians were shot.

It shows how thick clubs of smoke rise into the sky. "Oleshkos of the Kherson region, the Armed Forces struck the column of the invaders, which went to the aid of orcs on the right bank of the Dnieper," Misyagin wrote in the description of the published personnel. Official comments on this issue have not yet been received. Earlier, information appeared in the media that columns of Russian military equipment are moving through the temporarily occupied Melitopol towards Kherson.

Before this, the Armed Forces destroyed the bases of Russian troops in Kherson and Nova Kakhovka, and before that they destroyed the Antonovsky Bridge and crossing the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, making it impossible to transfer the enemy's forces across the Dnieper. Thus, the troops of the Russian Federation were stuck on the right bank and were cut off from supply. News with one line of exclusive NB "they are afraid of it.
