The Ukrainian nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine has confirmed a reduction in capacity due to issues with one of its power units, unrelated to ongoing repairs. While Energoatom assures that the situation is under control, concerns persist among experts regarding the quality of repairs and potential power outages in the coming days. Concurrently, U.N. nuclear agency chief Rafael Grossi has highlighted the 'very fragile' condition of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which remains under Russian control and has seen recent shelling damage. Grossi's visit aims to address safety concerns amid fears of a nuclear disaster due to disrupted power supplies. The situation is further complicated by ongoing conflicts, with both Russia and Ukraine blaming each other for jeopardizing the plant's safety. In Moldova, regional negotiations with Russia for gas supplies highlight the complex energy dynamics in Eastern Europe, as authorities struggle with energy independence amidst geopolitical tensions.
