Most recently, Russia once again committed a dangerous provocation by shelling the site of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in Energodar in close proximity to the nuclear reactor.. And today it became known that the occupiers began connecting the station to the energy system of the Russian Federation. Energoatom President Pyotr Kotin announced this on the air of the news telethon.

According to him, the plan of the Russians is to connect the ZNPP to the power grid in the occupied Crimea.. To do this, they want to disconnect the occupied territories in southern Ukraine from the station.. Rosatom personnel have already transferred the relevant program to NPPs.

“Rosatom personnel handed over to the station a special program for reconnecting the Zaporizhzhya NPP to Crimea. The prerequisite for the program is damage to the ZNPP communication lines with the energy system of Ukraine. In order to switch the ZNPP to Crimea, it needs to put out the entire south of Ukraine - the occupied parts of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. It's written in the program. After that, they begin to heal the areas again from the substation in Dzhankoy, gradually reach Kakhovskaya, and then heal the Zaporizhzhya NPP,” Kotin said..

The President of Energoatom noted that after all the above processes in the implementation of the Russians, the ZNPP will not be able to be connected to the Ukrainian energy system and it will remain on the Russian frequency.

Kotin stressed that the invaders had already begun to implement their plan.

Earlier, ISW experts expressed their opinion on why Russia is militarizing the Zaporozhye NPP.

The Zaporizhzhya NPP, captured by the Russians, is another way to terrorize Ukraine and the world, this time with a nuclear catastrophe. How far the terrorists are ready to go and is there a way out of the current crisis, read in the text by Nikolai Tesli “Crisis at the ZNPP: will blind pilots decide it”?
