The president of Ukraine's nuclear power company said that the Russian military had destroyed the power lines, cutting off the current power grid in Ukraine, and Russia had unilaterally annexed it. He indicated that he was planning to supply power to southern Crimea.

The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, located in the southeastern part of Ukraine and controlled by the Russian military, has been bombarded since the 5th, with both Ukraine and Russia claiming it was an attack by the other.



According to Ukrainian media, Ukrainian nuclear power company Energoatom chief Kotin said on the 9th that "three power lines were damaged" and complained that the situation was critical.



Then, Governor Kotin said that the Russian military attacked the nuclear power plant, and that the purpose was to supply power from this nuclear power plant to southern Crimea, which Russia unilaterally annexed eight years ago (2014). It is said that it is trying to cut off the current Ukrainian power grid by destroying the power line of the country.



In addition, the American think tank "War Research Institute" said, "The Russian military uses nuclear power plants as a 'nuclear shield.' I'm trying," he said.



On the other hand, the foreign ministers of the G7 = seven major countries said on the 10th, "Russian forces have taken control of Ukraine's nuclear facilities, posing a serious threat to the safety of the facilities and significantly increasing the risk of nuclear power plant accidents. We are deeply concerned that we are endangering society," and called on Russia to immediately return the nuclear power plant to Ukraine.



In addition, IAEA = International Atomic Energy Agency's expert team is complaining that it is necessary to enter the site.
