KYIV: A nuclear power plant on the front line of the Ukraine war again lost external power, UN inspectors said on Saturday , fuelling fears of disaster while Moscow kept its main gas pipeline to Germany shut to hurt the economies of Kyiv's friends in the West.
The energy fight is a fallout from President Vladimir Putin's six-month invasion of Ukraine, underscoring the deep rift between Moscow and Western nations as Europe steels itself for the cold months ahead. Moscow has cited Western sanctions and technical issues for energy disruptions, while European countries have accused Russia of weaponising supplies as part of its military invasion.
The plant said in a statement the fifth reactor was switched off"as a result of constant shelling by Russian occupation forces" and that there was"insufficient capacity from the last reserve line to operate two reactors". Gazprom said on Saturday that Germany's Siemens Energy was ready to help repair broken equipment but that there was nowhere available to carry out the work. Siemens said it has not been commissioned to carry out maintenance work for the pipeline but it is available.
