Ukraine’s state-run energy operator warned Saturday that “there are risks of hydrogen leakage and sputtering of radioactive substances” from the country’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as shelling in the Russian-occupied area continues, despite international pleas for a ceasefire.
“As a result of periodic shelling, the infrastructure of the station has been damaged,” Energoatom said in a statement, cautioning that “the fire hazard is high” and that the plant “operates with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards.”
Isn’t the Kyiv Independent one of the outlets getting tons of money from the US and EU propaganda funding cutouts? I can’t find sources at the moment but I remember reading a bunch about that in the spring. A media organization has got to have more than the word independent in their name to qualify for the term.
Additionally, external funding or not, the UA government has banned all journalistic organizations which didn’t act as government mouthpieces or which weren’t owned by people close to the government (ie. also government mouthpieces).
i think you’re thinking of the Kyiv post, who fired all their journalists last year and hired a bunch of shills, and are owned by some Odessa oligarch. Kyiv Independent are the good guys, can you please just look outside your bubble for one hot second and look at some other viewpoints rather than make assumptions?
Of course a Ukrainian newspaper is not going to admit if Ukraine is shelling near a nuclear power plant in Russian occupied territory. You wouldn’t accept RT as an unbiased source, so why should anyone accept the *Kiev Independent?
Oh sweaty, there are no good guys and bad guys in this world. Moral judgements are not what determine credulity either.
lmao incredibly educated and nuanced way to view the world.
Zelensky closed all opposition media, so what does that make the Independent?
