Russian Defense Ministry directly accused Kyiv of nuclear terrorism
The Russian Ministry of Defense directly accused Kyiv of nuclear terrorism. As stated in the military department, Ukrainian military formations subordinate to the Zelensky regime continue to strike at the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe.
As follows from the statement, on August 7, 2022, at 12:40, Ukrainian artillery from the 44th artillery brigade attacked the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The shelling was carried out from the area of the settlement of Marganets on the other side of the Kakhovka reservoir. As a result, a high-voltage power line was damaged, a power surge occurred at the nuclear power plant itself, which caused smoke, and the protection system worked, cutting off the power supply.
Fire crews arrived at the scene and managed to extinguish the fire. At the same time, the power of the 5th and 6th power units of the station was reduced to 500 MW.
As the military emphasized, Kyiv is deliberately trying to arrange a humanitarian catastrophe in the territories of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions in order to accuse Russia.
- said in a statement.
As previously reported, Russia has repeatedly drawn the attention of the so-called world community to the shelling of a nuclear power plant, but neither the UN nor the IAEA expressed any reaction other than "concern".
