Three Western ambassadors received at foreign affairs in Moscow
The Russian Foreign Ministry announced Thursday June 11 that it had received the ambassadors of France, Great Britain and Germany for discussions, a few days after a summit in London in the presence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
On Sunday in London, French, German and British leaders gave their support to Volodymyr Zelensky’s proposal for a “direct dialogue” between Ukraine and Russia with a view to ending the conflict that began more than four years ago. The three ambassadors, who met with Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin, said they would issue a statement on the talks at the ministry later in the day.
Moscow, however, indicated in a statement that the ambassadors had been informed on Thursday of the “destructive policy” of their three countries towards Ukraine, accusing them of wanting to “continue the war against Russia” on behalf and at the expense of European countries. Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week that he saw no “point” in a meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky until an agreement to end the war had been negotiated in advance.
Zaporizhia power station deprived of power supply
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant lost all external power supply overnight due to a strike on an emergency power station, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) announced Thursday morning.
This loss of the last external line of the plant, 330 kV, comes while repairs were going to be carried out on the main 750 kV line, disconnected since March 24, underlines the guardian of nuclear safety in a message on X.
The IAEA has been informed that, for the 19th time since the beginning of the military conflict, the Zaporizhzhya NPP lost all off-site power at around 21:00 local time last night following an attack on an electrical substation on the other side of the Dnipro River.

“This latest loss of external power once again highlights the extreme fragility of the electricity grid and the ongoing dangers to nuclear safety in times of war,” said IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, once again calling for “military restraint” to avoid a nuclear accident.
This is the 19th time since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 that the Ukrainian power plant, which came under Russian control, has lost all external power supply, underlines the IAEA, whose teams have ensured a permanent presence there since September 2022.
