In a recent development, the Ukrainian military has been accused of carrying out a provocation aimed at creating a technological catastrophe at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). The Russian Ministry of Defense has reported this incident through its Telegram channel.
According to the information provided by the ministry, nine Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the copter type were detected in the vicinity of Energodar. These UAVs were attempting to disrupt the rotation of employees of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), as stated by the Ministry of Defense.
Vladimir Rogov, the leader of the public movement “We Stand with Russia,” had previously reported that the kamikaze drone launches originated from the city of Nikopol, located on the right bank of the Dnieper River. The number of drone attacks on Energodar has reached ten.
At the end of October, Russia’s Permanent Representative to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, stated that Russian troops have never deployed heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery at the Zaporizhia NPP. This statement was supported by inspections conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) during their visits to the power plant.
Earlier, the Russian Armed Forces successfully repelled four attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This latest incident at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant has raised concerns about the potential risks and consequences of military provocations in sensitive locations. The alleged actions by the Ukrainian military have been met with criticism, as they pose a threat to the safety and stability of the region.
It is important for international organizations and governments to closely monitor and address such incidents to prevent any potential disasters and maintain peace and security in the region. The situation calls for a thorough investigation and diplomatic efforts to ensure that such provocations are not repeated in the future.
