- According to the will of Ukrainian President Selinsky, Russia’s nuclear energy will be banned internationally through new sanctions against the nuclear industry.
- He called for punitive measures against the Russian nuclear industry.
- And as good news, the president announced the transfer of grain and foodstuffs from Ukraine.
In light of the battles around the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine calling the chief Volodymyr Zelensky In Kyiv called the West to impose sanctions on the Russian nuclear industry. Silinsky said in a video speech distributed on Saturday evening that punitive measures should be taken by the nuclear industry of the aggressor country. Nuclear Energy Russia builds or operates nuclear power plants in many countries and stores radioactive waste. The country is a competitor in the US market, for example.
Russia Zelensky said that he is using the nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine to frighten people and blackmail the Ukrainian leadership and the world at large. Kyiv Moscow has accused each other for days of being responsible for the bombing of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant. Russia has occupied the sprawling facility in the city of Enerhodar for months. Sunday is the 172nd day in the Russian war of aggression.
Zelensky calls for a 'hard reaction’
Zelensky accused Russian forces of using the area as a firing bulwark against the small towns of Nikopol and Marhanets on the other bank of the Dnipro Dam. He warned that the deployment of Russian forces at the nuclear power plant site „poses a radiological threat.” Europe It escalated to a point that we did not witness even in the most difficult moments of confrontation during the Cold War.” He had earlier warned of a potential nuclear disaster.
„Of course there must be a tough reaction,” Zelensky added. Ukrainian diplomats and representatives of partner countries are now doing their best to disrupt the Russian nuclear industry. At the same time, the president called for international criminal justice to hold those responsible for the „terrorist state” to account. In addition, every Russian soldier who bombs a nuclear power plant or is hiding there becomes a target of Ukrainian secret agents and the military.
With six reactors and a net production of 5,700 MW, Russian forces occupied Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in early March. It is of strategic importance to the country’s electricity supply. Russia invaded Ukraine at the end of February. driving in Moscow And the occupation authorities in Zaporizhia reject calls to return the nuclear reactor to Ukrainian control. In 1986, the worst nuclear accident on European soil occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
Successes in Southern Ukraine: Retaking the Dnipro Dam
Zelensky also said in a speech that the situation in eastern Ukraine remains difficult, but without significant changes. The Kharkiv region in particular is frequently attacked, but the defense is still holding. Meanwhile, Russia deployed „enormous resources” in terms of artillery, personnel and equipment in the Donbass.
But there is also good news in the south. There, according to Zelensky, the Ukrainian army repeatedly managed to strike the „Russian occupiers”. According to Ukrainian sources, the vehicular bridge at the Nowa Kakhovka Dam in the Cherson region is no longer impassable as a result of several attacks. The Southern Ukrainian Army Command announced on Facebook on Saturday that the bridge was deliberately disabled due to missiles and artillery.
Accordingly, the Ukrainian army has now successfully used long-range missile systems to destroy the last of the only three river crossings. This is intended to prevent the Russian army from replenishing on the right bank of the Dnipro and to enable the restoration. The Ukrainians had rendered the railway bridge and land bridge at Cherson unusable. Russian forces have built a civilian ferry service across the river, and reportedly several army pontoon bridges as well.
The administration of the Russian occupiers confirmed the bombing of the dam bridge. At the same time, she warned of damage to the dam wall, which could lead to disaster. The information cannot be independently verified. According to the operators, the output of the connected hydropower plant has been reduced to an emergency. „We are working in a very dangerous situation,” the deputy head of the power plant, Arseny Zelensky, was quoted by the Russian TASS news agency as saying. Since the beginning of the war of aggression, Russia has largely occupied the Kherson region on the lower reaches of the Dnipro River.
Grain transport operations are working and generating income
Zelensky also described the transport of Ukrainian grain and foodstuffs through the Black Sea ports as good news. Meanwhile, 16 ships left with corn, wheat, soybeans, sunflower oil and other products to ease the situation in the global food market. The proceeds from the sale will benefit the state and farmers, who can now sow the new seeds, Zelensky said. „It’s an important component on the path to victory,” he says.
Agricultural exports through Ukraine’s ports on the Black Sea were halted for several months due to the war. On July 22, Ukraine and Russia, opponents of the war, signed an agreement with Turkey through UN mediation, to allow grain exports from Ukraine again. A coordination center in Istanbul staffed by representatives of the four parties. Among other things, the inspections are aimed at ensuring that the ships do not load any weapons.

Short video app TikTok has to separate from its Chinese parent company Bytedance in the USA. The Senate also decided on this matter. The company now has one year – otherwise there is a risk of being banned.
The Senate also approved the US law aimed at forcing a change in ownership of the short video app TikTok. This means that it is now on the table of President Joe Biden, who previously announced that he would sign it.
China-based Bytedance Group will have a maximum of one year to separate from TikTok. Otherwise, the app should be banned from US app stores. It is unclear whether the plan can hold up in US courts. A previous threat to ban it there failed.
Accusation of influence peddling
The Senate approved the bill overnight by a large majority of 79 votes to 18. Bytedance is seen across all parties in the US as a Chinese company that should bend to the will of the Chinese Communist Party. That's why there are warnings that Chinese authorities may gain widespread access to data from American users – as well as use the platform for political influence. TikTok has denied this for years.
“For years, we allowed the Chinese Communist Party to control one of the most popular apps in America, and that was dangerously short-sighted,” said Senator Marco Rubio, the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee. “A new law will force the Chinese owner to sell the app. This is a good thing for America.”
This law, which was passed for the second time in the House of Representatives a few days ago, this time forms part of a package aimed, among other things, at enabling new aid to Ukraine, which is under attack from Russia. That's why it passed through the Senate so quickly on the second try.
TikTok: Not a subsidiary of a Chinese company
The law puts Biden's Democrats in a dilemma: on the one hand, the president wants to take a tough stance on China, and on the other hand, the app is popular among young users, whose votes he needs to be re-elected in November. The Biden campaign team only opened a TikTok account this year.
TikTok confirms that it does not see itself as a subsidiary of a Chinese company. Bytedance is 60% owned by Western investors. The company's headquarters are located in the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean. However, American politicians counter that the Chinese founders, with a 20% stake, have maintained control thanks to higher voting rights and that Bytedance's headquarters are in Beijing, where they cannot escape the influence of the authorities.
TikTok has not yet commented directly after the vote. The company had already announced over the weekend that it wanted to take legal action against the law.
US courts blocked a similar ban attempt
TikTok claims to have 170 million users in the USA. During his US presidency, Donald Trump attempted to force the sale of TikTok's US business to US investors with threats of bans.
But the plan failed primarily because US courts suspected that plans to ban TikTok violated the freedom of expression enshrined in the US Constitution. An existing law in Montana that was supposed to ban TikTok from app stores there has also been suspended. Trump has now backed away from calls for a ban.
