“I am enraged by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who tried to make a counteroffensive in the Kherson direction - they ... did not succeed.
But on the other hand, they succeeded ... from an American howitzer - at the storage of fresh nuclear fuel, which is located on the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, ”he said.
As Lebedev stated, just a couple of months ago, any event that would have taken place within a kilometer from the nuclear power plant would have caused complete horror in people.
“And now they’re just piercing the roof with some kind of cannon… Well, yes, some kind of nuclear rods are stored there,” he noted, emphasizing that everyone ignores this fact.
Lebedev added that the Americans, supplying the weapons used to fire at the station, cynically offer to simply turn off the nuclear power plant.
“The Americans no longer need it, because it no longer belongs to the Ukrainian side.
So the Americans do not feel sorry for turning off this station, ”he concluded.
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry said that on August 31, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant with three kamikaze drones.
