"Russia has put Ukrainians as well as all Europeans one step away from radiation disaster," he said in his nightly address. President Volodymyr Zelensky described Russian actions around the plant as a menace. Recently Moscow and Kyiv have traded blame for shelling around the complex, a "highly volatile" development the IAEA says "underlines the very real risk of a nuclear disaster".
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre urged Russia to agree to a demilitarised zone around the plant and "allow the IAEA to visit as soon as possible to check on the safety." The Zaporizhzhia plant - Europe's largest nuclear facility - has been occupied by Russian troops in southern Ukraine since the opening weeks of the war, and remained on the frontlines ever since. I'm determined to personally lead an IAEA mission to the plant in the next few days," the organisation's Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said. "No country should turn a nuclear power plant into an active war zone and we oppose any Russian efforts to weaponise or divert energy from the plant." The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Ukraine had informed it the plant temporarily lost connection - "further underlining the urgent need for an IAEA expert mission to travel to the facility". "The electricity that it produces rightly belongs to Ukraine and any attempt to disconnect the plant from the Ukrainian power grid and redirect to occupied areas is unacceptable," State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters. The United States cautioned Russia against redirecting energy from the site. Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is under occupation by Moscow's troops and was disconnected from the national power supply on Thursday, the state energy operator said. Washington on Thursday warned Russia against diverting energy from a nuclear plant Kyiv says was cut off from its grid, as calls for an independent inspection of the facility mount. Watch “Superstar,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, below. UPDATE: Curren$y just dropped a new video, the fourth from Canal Street Confidential.

We tried to make this list of 25 as eclectic as possible, while taking account of career highs like the Pilot Talk albums, which figure heavily but don’t dominate this chronological, unranked list.
Shouts to his legendary rap on Lil Wayne’s version of “Dis is How We Do,” back when they were both within Cash Money Records, too.Īll this is to say, the man has made a lot of music. We also dismissed his early work as a 504 Boyz member for No Limit Records. 1” with ScHoolBoy Q and Dom Kennedy and “ So High” with French Montana. With such a massive discography and history, we felt it right to highlight the prolific rapper’s career, selecting our 25 favorite songs by Spitta.Īlthough we only stuck to Curren$y-released projects when selecting this list (meaning we didn’t include/consider any of his features on other people’s tracks), it’s worth mentioning he has a song with Kendrick Lamar and Talib Kweli that you need to listen to. Tomorrow marks the release of #46: Canal Street Confidential (buy here), his first studio album through Atlantic Records. Since 2004, New Orleans rapper Curren$y has released 45 projects.
