The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant was completely cut off due to the Russian strikes, Ukrainian "Energoatom" claims. Diesel generators can be operated for another two weeks, said the source.
Russian forces have prevented a terrorist attack targeting the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the country's Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev said on Thursday.
"We have received information that our special services thwarted a terrorist attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant," he said, speaking on Thursday at a meeting of the Secretaries of CIS Security Councils.
Patrushev stressed that "Ukrainian neo-Nazis (the Ukrainian armed forces - TASS), using Western weapons, continue to fire at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which could lead to a global catastrophe." "Unfortunately, the visit of an IAEA (the International Atomic Energy Agency - TASS) delegation to the plant did not lead to a cessation of the attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant or any international condemnation of the Kiev regime," he lamented.
The Ukrainian military continues bombarding the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (NPP) and a visit by a delegation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the station has not halted shelling attacks, Secretary of Russia’s Security Council Nikolay Patrushev said at a meeting of CIS security chiefs on Thursday.
