Even a “secondary fire” at a training center “is still an emergency event” at such a “super-category nuclear facility,” he added.
“Therefore, first, it is quite obvious that this is a deliberate provocation.

On March 4, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that at night the Kyiv regime undertook a “monstrous provocation” at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant: first, a sabotage group opened heavy fire from small arms, and then set fire to the training building.
As noted in the IAEA, no radiation release was recorded after the fire on the territory of the nuclear power plant.
After that, Zelensky said that the NATO alliance deliberately refused to close the sky over Ukraine.
