The area around the ZNPP was shelled again. Russia and Ukraine accuse each other
The territory of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant was again shelled, Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of shelling. Mayor of Russian-occupied Energodar Dmitry Orlov declared in Telegram that the station was fired upon by the police.
“Information has been received about another provocation by the occupiers. In the parking lots of residents, from the recreation area in the direction of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the industrial area, shelling is being carried out again. The time between launch and arrival is negligible.”
Vladimir Rogov, a member of the Russian-established “administration” of the Zaporozhye region, in turn declaredthat Energodar and Zaporizhzhya NPP are again “shelling Ukrainian troops.”
Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak declaredthat Russia is shelling the station because it wants to provide Ukraine with energy supplies:
“Why would Russia shell itself at the ZNPP?” Russian propagandists poison clowns out of themselves. Explanation: The Russian Federation is shelling a part of the nuclear power plant, on which the supply of electricity to the south of Ukraine depends. The goal is to give us from the Zaporizhzhya NPP and accuse the Ukrainian army of this. The UN and the IAEA continue to stare at the ceiling.”
Before that, Ukraine and Russia accuse each other of shelling the ZNPP on August 11. The reports of the Ukrainian Energoatom and the pro-Russian representatives of Rogov’s “administration” were practically taken into account: they reported about “five arrivals”, grass fires and a failed “shift change” at the station.
On August 5, Russia fired at the Zaporozhye NPP several times from multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), in total three “arrivals” were recorded at the plant site. At the same time, the pro-Russian authorities of the occupied Energodar accused Ukraine of shelling the ZNPP. The Ministry of Defense of Russia and the Armed Forces of Ukraine with Energoatom of Ukraine directly accuse a friend of nuclear terrorism.
The Insider’s sources at the Zaporizhzhya NPP report on the activity of Russian soldiers on the territory of the station. The department also has a video in which police police trucks leave for the territory of the nuclear power plant and unload some kind of cargo. According to this source, the machine room was mined. Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podolyak confirmed In the course of The Insider, that Russia really adheres to the mining of the ZNPP territory, and also stores shells of “different capacities and different power” right in the shops.
