ZNPP
The Ukrainian authorities are frustrating plans to create a security zone around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, said Volodymyr Rogov, chairman of the We Are Together with Russia movement.
“The Zelensky regime is disrupting any progress on the issue of creating a security zone around the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, refusing to give any guarantees to prevent shelling of the nuclear plant and its satellite city of Energodar.
The safety of the nuclear power plant is guaranteed by two components: the absence of shelling by the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the proper protection provided by the employees of the National Guard, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
He noted that the Ukrainian side demands the demilitarization of the ZNPP zone in order to seize the moment, seize the nuclear facility and create a foothold for the offensive.
