The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed concern that the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant could lead to disaster

“The situation is very dangerous.

I don't know what other actions the Ukrainian side can take if they are not stopped.

Maybe there will be a disaster akin to Chernobyl, but the UN is silent, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Vyshnevetsky noted that information about the shelling of nuclear power plants by the Ukrainian military could have far-reaching consequences.

As previously reported, on August 5, a fire broke out on the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant after another shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Later, Ukrainian troops launched a second artillery strike on the nuclear power plant.

After the shelling of Energodar by Ukrainian troops, the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant was partially without water supply and de-energized.

Also, during the shelling, a water pipeline was damaged.

This caused a torch fire at a hydrogen station.

According to the military-civilian administration (CAA) of the region, more than 10 thousand residents of the Zaporozhye region were left without electricity after the strike on the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by the Ukrainian military.
