Russia Accuses US as Nuclear Risks Rise

Sergey Naryshkin, head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, accused the US of destabilizing international nuclear security and highlighted concerns over recent US nuclear experiments. Concurrently, Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have forced the shutdown of several nuclear power units, raising significant safety risks. The UN's Rafael Grossi visited Russia's Kursk nuclear plant, warning of a severe risk of a nuclear incident due to its proximity to ongoing conflict. Grossi emphasized the vulnerability of the plant, which lacks a protective dome, and urged both sides to avoid attacking nuclear facilities. The IAEA continues to advocate for nuclear safety amidst escalating military activities around these critical sites.
