Repair Plan Underway to Restore Power at Ukrainian Nuclear Plant [1]The Associated Press reports :
> Work has begun to repair the damaged power supply to Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said Saturday. The repairs are hoped to end a precarious four-week outage that saw it dependent on backup generators.
>
> Russian and Ukrainian forces established special ceasefire zones for repairs to be safely carried out, said the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi... "Both sides engaged constructively with the IAEA to enable the complex repair plan to proceed," Grossi [2]said in a statement ...
>
> The Zaporizhzhia plant, Europe's largest nuclear power station, has been operating on diesel back-up generators since Sept. 23 when its last remaining external power line was severed in attacks that Russia and Ukraine each blamed on the other. The plant is in an area under Russian control since early in Moscow's full-scale [3]invasion of Ukraine and is [4]not in service , but it needs reliable power to cool its six shutdown reactors and spent fuel, to avoid any catastrophic nuclear incidents.

This reminds me of the old Bugs Bunny cartoons where they'll stop trying to kill each other just long enough to tiptoe by a hospital.

On day one. Trump sold his followers that there would be peace. Trump clearly lied. Actually, Trump lies an average of 5 times a day. Sorry for being off topic but I have to question why smart people would support a person who lies to them?

All politicians lie. It's part of the job description.

Yes, just do a fact check MAGAs. You somehow think that you are "superior", and know everything, because you "own" the libs, but damn, you are fucking up America and yourselves in a big way.

Why does the mainstream capitalist system keep producing such irrational real-world outcomes?

It takes quite the contortionist to put any of the blame for this on Ukraine.
Russia invaded a sovereign country. This issue would not have occurred if that hadn't occurred.

The US invaded Iraq because they invaded another country, and because of the mistaken belief that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction controlled by a Dictator and a Madman. The US invaded Afghanistan because we were right that they were terrorizing America, and their citizens did 911. What is missing is the roll of the Saudi's.

Online, I have seen many MAGAs think that Ukraine somehow invaded Russia. WOW!!! I watched it in real time, and that is exactly the opposite of what I remember!!!
