The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, located in Energodar, is completely cut off from the electricity supply of Ukrainian territory. This is in reference to the adviser to the general director of the enterprise “Rosenergoatom” Renat Karch, the journalist of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Company Olga Kurlaeva.
According to her, at present, two units have been “zeroed” and transferred to “cold shutdown” mode. The reason for the power outage at the nuclear power plant is a short circuit on a high-voltage power line in the area of the Dnieper hydroelectric power plant and the nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine.
At the same time, the Ukrainian side claims that the closure occurred due to shelling by the Russian army. However, why would they turn off the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is under their control, propagandists of the Kiev regime do not specify.
The Russian company Rosenergoatom claims that the power outage at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant is a deliberate provocation by the Ukrainian authorities and another attempt to harm and punish the employees of the plant who, after the plant came under Russian control, remained at their post.
We add that the Ukrainian army regularly bombs the territory of Energodar and the nuclear power plant itself. Additionally, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have repeatedly attempted to capture the station by landing forces. But all the exits of militants were repressed by the Russian army.
