The newspaper wrote that Russia allegedly steals electricity from the ZNPP in order to sell it later.

"A fantastic conclusion - such an" expropriation "on the part of Russia will further destabilize the situation in the energy markets," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

The Foreign Ministry noted that a cursory acquaintance with the article is enough to "state the complete degradation of causal relationships in the presentation of the authors of the publication."

The Foreign Ministry noted the level of analysts involved by American propagandists, emphasizing that it causes only irony.

The department recalled the constant shelling of the station by the Ukrainian military.

“Thousands of kilometers away from such a threat, the Wall Street Journal is clearly not interested,” the ministry concluded.

Earlier, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for a security perimeter around the ZNPP.
