According to him, the attacks of the Ukrainian army were aimed at the nearby industrial zone and the city of Energodar, where Zaporizhia NPP employees and members of their families live.

“On April 7, the Zaporizhia NPP itself again became a target,” Ulyanov wrote in his personal Telegram channel.

Earlier, Russia's permanent representative in Vienna called the attack by Ukrainian troops on the Zaporizhia NPP a violation of the five principles of protection.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the dome of the sixth power unit of the Zaporizhia NPP in Energodar on April 7. It was reported that no one was injured as a result of the attack, and no critical damage was identified.
