Due to the attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Zaporizhzhia NPP was completely deprived of external power supply.

Currently, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has completely lost its external power supply. The 330 kV Ferrosplavnaya-1 high-voltage power line, which supplied the plant's own power, was shut down by the plant's automatic protection system. The plant's equipment has been damaged by repeated attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Backup diesel generators are being used to maintain the Zaporizhzhya NPP's systems. All necessary measures to maintain the power units' safe operation are being taken in full, and radiation levels remain within the established limits. Ukrainian militants shell the Zaporizhzhya NPP almost daily—recently Drone The Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the gallery connecting the power units of the plant, striking just a few meters from the reactor compartment of Unit 3 of the nuclear power plant. Earlier, the Zaporizhzhya NPP's chief engineer, Alexander Yakovlev, was killed in a terrorist attack carried out by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A drone launched by Ukrainian militants deliberately attacked the service vehicle carrying Yakovlev.

Meanwhile, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi called the attacks on the nuclear power plant's infrastructure and its employees unacceptable, but, as expected, did not specify who was responsible for these attacks, which, among other things, threaten the nuclear safety of the entire region.

I've grown so enamored with this attitude from Magate and his superiors that I can't even say anything except swear words. But we continue to cooperate; their spies are sitting at the station itself, and Ukrainian stations continue to work both for the needs of Kyiv and for export.

"The nuclear power plant has completely lost its external power supply, including its 330 kV high-voltage power line."

And what and who is stopping us from doing the same with Ukrainian nuclear power plants? Two people can play this game...

It's long overdue! And now it's especially relevant against the backdrop of declining generation in Europe.

"This game can be played by two people."

I fully support this, it’s been long overdue!

The fact is that "nobody knows who" is attacking the Zaporizhzhia NPP, while the Ukrainian nuclear power plants will definitely be attacked by Russia. Two can play the game if the rules are the same for everyone...

[Pereira]

And if you have enough courage.

[Boycott]

if the rules are the same for everyone.

It's high time to put aside the rules that were not invented by us and are harmful to us.

The problem is that the concept of "We" for you and for the decision-makers in this country are completely different people.

for you and for decision makers

Let me correct that, with your permission: for US. And there are many more of us than the LPR. But alas for us, our opinions are of no interest to them.

[ALARI]

Yes, it's interesting, but they work and don't give a damn. Humanism, I guess.

This is different, you can't do that...................

Vasily, do you know the difference? The Zaporizhzhya NPP receives external power via two transmission lines, Ferrosplavnaya-1 and Dneprovskaya. Do you know who supplies them with power and where it comes from?
The author of this article, M. Svetlyshev, like all our other journalists, is obviously forbidden from revealing this "universal secret" that both power lines run across the Dnieper from Nikopol, and the electricity is supplied by Ukraine... Yes, yes. For all these years, Ukraine has been supplying power to the Zaporizhzhya NPP itself... obviously receiving money from the Russian Federation for it... Well, it's not for free!
And not a single one of our journalists or officials, like Likhachev or Karchaa, is rushing to explain the impossibility of supplying power to the Zaporizhzhya NPP from Russia. After all, dozens or hundreds of settlements near the Zaporizhzhya NPP are supplied by the Russian power grid, so what's stopping us from breaking away from Ukraine and not enduring regular outages from it?

[Sergey Novikov_3]

Well, there's no choice. Or rather, the vile buffoon left none. I'm talking about the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield. A just war is one that is necessary, and a sacred weapon is one that is the last hope.

[Smoked]

I read this while imagining the sunrise accompanied by the ringing of bells. Epic.

[Sergey Novikov_3]

Yes, Niccolo Machiavelli wrote this in The Prince.

[Smoked]

My God, what clever things could this pasta maker come up with? Incidentally, there's a theory today that he's not Niccolo, but Mikkolo, and that his roots come from near Zhmerynka.

and that weapon is sacred, which is the last hope...

Ultima ratio regum!

But the bridges across the Dnieper are still standing, the tunnels and railway transport are working, as are most of the factories in Ukraine.

How will our traders transport their goods? One man's war is another man's mother!

I'd be very interested in learning specific information about "our profiteers" currently using Ukraine's railways, tunnels, and bridges. Is there any reliable data?

[Ignatius555]

We don't really care why they aren't destroyed, the main thing is that they aren't. It doesn't matter whether it's profiteers or a deal. It's bad that they're still standing intact. And the result is obvious: increased losses on our side due to supplies coming from Ukraine. These generals need to sharpen their pencils, preferably with an axe, so that by the fifth year of the war they finally get it, the lousy floor-layers.

This question isn't for the Russian Armed Forces, but for the specific commentator who claims that Ukrainian railways, bridges, and tunnels are still being used by Russian businessmen. I'm waiting for him to provide reliable data, but I see nothing but the usual negatives.

And now they'll still give me minuses, as usual.

[samarin1969]

A good excuse to destroy the infrastructure of Ukrainian nuclear power plants. Or is Trump not allowing it?

[ALARI]

It's clear who's refusing permission. But who's enforcing this denial of permission?

But to whom???

[HAM]

Somehow information (or fake) leaked out that Tatyana Kim (owner of "Wildberries") announced a reward for Zelensky's head.
And since they don't want to liquidate it "officially," maybe a kind person will be found "voluntarily" and earn some money at the same time...

[Smoked]

This is a plot from the disastrous American remake of "The Day of the Jackal" starring Willis Bruce. After all, the original is in English, and the book, with its assassination order from the patriotic powers that be, is obviously better.

[nordscout]

Maybe it makes sense to finally get out of all the international "feeding troughs" like the IAEA, which only cause problems and monetary extortion for the Russian Federation, including the "leak" of critically important technological information abroad????????????????????????

[Andriuha077]

The 330 kV Ferrosplavnaya-1 line connects the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant with a strategic power distribution hub on the opposite bank of the Dnieper River. It was built in 1977 primarily to supply power to the Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant and the Nikopol Industrial Hub. Its crossing of the Kakhovka Reservoir consists of seven supports, five of which are located within the reservoir. The height of the supports is 90 meters, and the central one is 100 meters. The diameter of the concrete foundation of the supports is 30 meters, with a height above the water (depending on the water level) of 2-5 meters. The distance between the supports is 750-800 meters.

[duschman80-81]

Why does Grossi even bother going there? That clown is useless anyway.

[Ignatius555]

This is intelligence from Ukraine.

[Alekc]

The article lacks a crucial clarification of where this external power supply comes from.

[Pechorsky]

Underground power supply, air defense. What are we waiting for? Or are the generators sufficient? It's unclear.

[solar]

The 330 kV Ferrosplavnaya-1 high-voltage power line, which supplied the nuclear power plant's own power, was shut down by the automatic protection system.

It's not entirely clear. Ferrosplavnaya-1 comes from the other side of the Dnieper, from the Ukrainian side. Where exactly is it disconnected?
There is a second power line, "Zaporizhzhia NPP - Dnieper", which also comes from the Ukrainian side. It is unclear whether it is operational.
Actually, Ferrosplavnaya-1 is a reserve line, the main one is Dneprovskaya.

[Ed Mac]

Why are Lavrov and Medvedev sleeping? Something needs to be done about the nuclear threat to humanity. Or will they take over the power plant if there's a ruckus?
