According to Zelensky, the shelling of the Kakhovskaya HPP could pose a threat of a nuclear catastrophe at the ZNPP.

In addition, Zelensky said that it would take 1.5 years to fully restore the station, which was shelled by Ukrainian troops, taking into account the repair of the hydroelectric unit.
