Ukraine has managed to prove Russia's plans to carry out a terrorist attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) to the world, sending a signal from other states to Moscow that such actions are inadmissible, and therefore it has been forced to come up with a new plan for the ZNPP.

Quote: "I think that [the Russians – ed.] have received [a signal – ed.]. And not only from our usual friends and partners, but also from other countries that consider any use of a nuclear element in a conflict unacceptable."

Details: Kuleba said that Ukraine has proved the Russians’ plan regarding the ZNPP to the world, which will make it more difficult for them to implement it.

"Now it will be much more difficult for them to implement it. I think they are already rewriting it, coming up with some new plan. I am no less convinced that our intelligence will get it, and we will also disclose it to the world," the minister emphasised.

Background:

  • The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, has warned that the risk of Russia committing a terrorist attack on the Zaporizhzhia NPP, which is under the control of its occupying forces, endangers the entire OSCE area. 
  • In connection with the threat of a disaster at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on the EU to work on the next package of sanctions and introduce restrictions against the Russian company Rosatom.
