Russian Envoy Says Ukrainian Attacks on Zaporizhzhia Plant Have Intensified Since April
Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov described the situation around the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant as extremely serious, saying Western governments have responded calmly.
Russian diplomat Mikhail Ulyanov said that attacks attributed to Ukrainian forces on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) have intensified since April, describing the situation as extremely serious, according to a report from TASS.
Ulyanov, cited in the report, said Western governments have responded to the situation calmly, a characterization presented as his own assessment in the TASS report.
The Zaporizhzhia plant, Europe's largest nuclear facility, has been under Russian control since early in the war in Ukraine and has repeatedly been at the center of dueling claims from Russian and Ukrainian officials about responsibility for shelling and safety risks near the site.
TASS's report presents Ulyanov's statements without including a response from Ukrainian officials or independent verification of the claims regarding attack frequency since April.
International monitors, including the International Atomic Energy Agency, have previously expressed concern about safety risks at the plant without consistently attributing responsibility for specific incidents to either side.
