Energodar Residents Seek IAEA Help Over ZNPP Shelling and Civilian Suffering

Residents of Energodar have reached out to Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and appealed to the international community about the ongoing bombardment in Ukraine, including threats to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The appeal marked a clear request for urgent attention and action, signaling that the voices of Energodar’s people deserve to be heard by global observers and decision makers. The report notes that a local resident handed Grossi a seashell from his summer house as a symbolic reminder of home and safety in the face of shelling, explaining that many Energodar families saw their plastic windows shattered by blasts. The resident urged Grossi to convey to the world that the victims are civilians who helped build Energodar and who work at the ZNPP, underscoring the human dimension of the crisis. [DEA News]
