The power plant has been under Russian control since the start...Ukraine has repeatedly shelled it trying to cause a disaster  they also blew up a dam providing cooling water,  but the plant has backup  and I believe the reactors are in a dormant state but still need constant supervision.

 The IAEA seem quite satisfied that the Russians are looking after the plant properly.

 

Textbook Russian propaganda—top to bottom deflection from their illegal grab, militarization, and reckless endangerment of Europe’s biggest nuclear plant. Ukraine shelling it? Sure, and they blew up their own dam too, right? Meanwhile, the IAEA’s just thrilled with the chaos.

Nothing of the sort,  you are obviously ill informed about the situation...nevermind  the narrative will change soon and of course you will then be confused as to how so and such could have happened   just remember where you heard it first.

Russian Telegram channels report the possible destruction of Russian missiles for Tu-95MS at the Engels airfield.

Reportedly, the explosion had a radius of up to 5 km, which could have caused damage to the bombers themselves, which were based at the attacked airfield.

It is also reported that X-101 missiles had just been delivered to the airfield to equip the aircraft. There might have been about 70 missiles in the warehouse. They could have caused such bright fireworks.

Russian region declares state of emergency as Ukraine strikes military base

Russian authorities have declared a local state of emergency in the Saratov region after a Ukrainian drone left the Engels base engulfed in flames.

Around 435 miles from the front line,  it reportedly hosts the country’s Tupolev Tu-160 nuclear-capable heavy strategic bombers and has been used to launch Russian military planes throughout the war.

Images on Telegram channels depicted black smoke rising from the region amid reports that local residents had also been evacuated from the region.

Mr Witkoff respectfully disgagees and she is in the coalition of the unwilling. But apart from that spot on. Trump and Putin had an 'epic' 3 hour call let's all celebrate that peace is coming and not before time.

As predicted by me many moons ago.

 

The European Union has stopped discussing the confiscation of frozen Russian assets.
