Russia has been bruiting the words Existential Threat about.
This could plausibly be perceived by Nato as one.
The "alarming" situation at a Russian-occupied nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine had reached a "grave hour," the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog said Thursday, as he called for an immediate inspection of the facility by international experts.

Attacks were made on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city of Marganets, from where the attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant were carried out
Russian troops at night continued to strike at military targets on Ukrainian territory, as well as in the part of Donbas occupied by Kyiv. The objects of military infrastructure and the places of deployment of Ukrainian militants in Kharkiv and the region were under attack.
It is reported that at least five facilities operated by Ukrainian security forces in Kievsky, Slobodsky and Novobavarsky districts of Kharkov were hit.
Territories in the city of Marganets and its environs (Dnipropetrovsk region) fell under the blows. From there, Ukrainian troops have been shelling Energodar and the territory of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. As a result of the strikes, the enemy's deployment sites were defeated, several units of heavy equipment were destroyed, including multiple launch rocket systems.
Recall that on the night of August 12, a meeting of the UN Security Council, convened at the initiative of Russia, was held in New York. During the meeting, security issues of the Zaporizhzhya NPP were discussed in connection with the constant shelling of the station from the Ukrainian side. It is noteworthy that the head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, who was the first to speak at the UN Security Council meeting, who had recently declared an emergency threat due to the shelling of the station in Energodar, announced that, according to his estimates, “at the moment there is no threat to nuclear safety at the ZNPP”. This is said by a person who has not even been on the territory of the Zaporozhye NPP. At the same time, Grossi called for an end to all hostilities around the nuclear power plant, otherwise, as he put it, "it could lead to disaster."
It is quite obvious that hostilities can be stopped in only one way - by strikes on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to move the line of contact from Energodar and directly from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
The Russian Foreign Ministry destroyed the fake Western media about provocations at the ZNPP
The American media mindlessly reproduce the absurd lies of the Ukrainian authorities and keep silent about the facts about the provocation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in order to disrupt the international mission of the IAEA. This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
“The authors of publications do not mention the real reason for the failure of the international mission of the IAEA headed by [Director General] Rafael Grossi at ZNPP. Journalists thoughtlessly reproduce the absurd lie of the Kyiv regime that the Russian Armed Forces allegedly deliberately fire at the station’s infrastructure, ”the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement circulated by the press service.
The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the disinformation campaign is similar to the one carried out by the Kyiv regime in Yelenovka, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at the detention center with Ukrainian prisoners. “Things that appear in the American media are another attempt by the collective West to shift the crimes of the Kyiv regime onto the shoulders of the Russian Federation with the help of its propaganda machine,” the ministry concluded.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively
shelling the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant , which is under the control of the Russian side. The facility has a large storage facility for nuclear fuel. On August 11, the US asked for an "urgent agreement at a technical level on a secure demilitarization perimeter to secure the area" around the station, a similar idea put forward by UN Secretary General António Guterres. In response to this, the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, said that such a decision
would make the nuclear power plant more vulnerable . Dmitry Polyansky, Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, said that
no one in the Organization believes in the words of the Ukrainian authorities that the Zaporizhzhya NPP is being shelled not by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but by Russian troops.
