Russian missile attacks caused a crippled nuclear plant in Ukraine to lose all external power for the second time in five days, increasing the risk of a radiation disaster because critical safety systems need electricity to operate, Ukraine’s state nuclear operator said Wednesday.
The ministry said the iodine tablet recommendation is limited to those aged 3-40 because of the potential risks that radiation exposure poses to that age group. Drug wholesale also said their were stockpiles emptied out. Pharmacies in many locations in Finland reported Wednesday they had run out of iodine tablets as citizens rushed to purchase the medicine. “An accident at a nuclear power plant could release radioactive iodine into the environment, which could build up in the thyroid gland,” the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health said Tuesday. HELSINKI -Many Finnish pharmacies ran out of iodine tablets Wednesday, a day after the Nordic country’s health ministry recommended that households buy a single dose in a case of a radiation emergency amid increasing fears of a nuclear event due to Russia’s war in Ukraine. “They’re trying to create a defensive system.” “It’s a mix of all these that deny the airspace to Russian aircraft” and missiles, Milley said.

So that doesn’t control all the airspace over Ukraine, but they’re designed to control priority targets that Ukraine needs to protect,” Milley told reporters.
“What Ukraine is asking for, and what we think can be provided, is an integrated air missile defense system. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that Ukraine wants its Western partners to provide it with a complete air defense system to defend against Russian warplanes and missiles. “I hope as soon as possible, we will need all parties to get back to the discussion table and there will be peace discussions with, on the one side, Ukraine, and on the other side, Russia,” he said.īRUSSELS - At NATO headquarters in Brussels, U.S.
Russian President Vladimir Putin must “end the war, respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and get back to the discussion table,” he said, adding that he will speak to the Russian president “every time it will be necessary.” Macron insisted several times on the need for peace talks between the two countries. Paris already delivered 18 similar Caesar cannons to Kyiv.įrance will also send “anti-aircraft systems and missiles” to help protecting the country from drone and missile attacks in the coming weeks, he said.
