IAEA loses contact with safeguards monitoring systems at Chernobyl

As Reuter’s report, IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency):

“Systems monitoring nuclear material at the radioactive waste facilities at Chernobyl in Ukraine, which were taken over by Russian forces last month, have stopped transmitting data to the U.N. nuclear watchdog.”

In addition, per IAEA Director General Statement #15 on Situation in Ukraine: 

“The same [personnel) shift has been on duty at the Chornobyl NPP since the day before the Russian military entered the site of the 1986 accident on 24 February, in effect living there for the past 13 days, the regulator said.

The Ukrainian regulator added that the staff had access to food and water, and medicine to a limited extent. However, the situation for the staff was worsening.”

I’m no Rocket Scientist but I’m gonna take a wild guess and say this isn’t good.
