LIVE UPDATES: NATO Plotted Third World War Using Nuclear Weapons Against Russia - Ex-Ukrainian PM

Canadian Prime Justin Trudeau has discussed with Volodymyr Zelensky the fire outbreak near the Zaporozhskaya nuclear power plant in Ukraine, which occurred overnight, the prime minister’s office said.

The Ukrainian State Emergency Service said that the fire erupted outside the nuclear site, prompting one of its blocks to be switched off. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the fire did not affect the essential equipment of the plant. The fire has been extinguished in the morning, with no casualties reported.

“Tonight, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland spoke with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to discuss the fire and damages at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine caused by Russian attacks,” the office said in a statement.

Zelensky voiced concern for the lives of Ukrainians and Europeans due to the fire, while Trudeau called on Russia to suspend any military activities in the area, the statement read.

Zelensky and Trudeau also discussed further assistance from Canada to Ukraine, it added.

The reason for the restriction is Article 15.3 of the Law on Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection, the watchdog said. The outlets were included in the register of Internet resources "containing calls for mass riots, extremism and participation in illegal mass actions," it added.

On Wednesday, Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said that the security system of the space corporation automatically repulsed hacker attacks on its mission control center and satellites. He added that disabling satellites is casus belli.

The supplies will likely be transported to Poland by a Japanese government aircraft due to difficulties using airports in Ukraine, the news agency added.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The US Department of Commerce has added more than 90 organizations and individuals to the list of export restrictions against Russia in connection with the situation in Ukraine, according to a document filed to the Federal Register.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it had put its Incident and Emergency Center in full 24/7 response mode over the situation around the Zaporzhskaya nuclear power plant (NPP).

Hours earlier, the Zaporozhskaya NPP reported about a fire on its territory but later the Ukrainian State Emergency Service said that the blaze had erupted outside the plant, with one of its units having been switched off.
"IAEA puts its Incident and Emergency Centre (@IAEAIEC) in full 24/7 response mode due to serious situation at #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in #Ukraine," the IAEA tweeted.

"The Prime Minister spoke to Ukrainian President Zelensky in the early hours of this morning about the gravely concerning situation at Zaporozhskaya nuclear power station. Both leaders agreed that Russia must immediately cease its attack on the power station and allow unfettered access for emergency services to the plant," the Downing Street said in a statement.

"The Prime Minister said he would be seeking an emergency UN Security Council meeting in the coming hours, and that the UK would raise this issue immediately with Russia and close partners. Both leaders agreed a ceasefire was crucial," the statement added.
