The phrase
“The site of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, has been the target of Russian strikes for the second time in just over 24 hours. The world must stop the Russian aggressor and prevent a catastrophe! »
On Twitter, the Ukrainian Embassy in France holds Moscow responsible for the bombing of the Ukrainian power plant in Zaporozhye. It echoes the words of kyiv, which accuses Russia of “nuclear terrorism”. The largest power plant in Europe, occupied by Russian troops, is at the center of international concerns amid strikes on the site, of which kyiv and Moscow accuse each other. It was bombed twice at the end of last week, including near a reactor. Kyiv and Moscow blamed each other for the strikes.

Authorities in Boutcha say each case is investigated, with the aim of identifying the perpetrators and bringing them to trial for war crimes.
The trend of the day
Confusion at the Château de Vincennes. At the end of July, two Russians wanting to visit the castle of Vincennes (Val-de-Marne) were refused access to the tourist place, which depends on the Ministry of the Armed Forces. This castle, located south-east of Paris, notably contains one of the centers of the Historical Defense Service (SHD). The minister’s office on Tuesday regretted a lack of “discernment” and assured that Russians were still allowed on its tourist sites.
