Russian forces occupying Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant are preparing to connect it to Crimea and are damaging it by reorienting its electricity production, warns Ukraine, as fighting enters its 168th day Follow our live coverage:👇
Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe and was occupied by Russia early in its assault. Russian forces occupying the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southeast Ukraine are preparing to connect to Crimea, annexed by Moscow in 2014, and are damaging it by reorienting its electricity production, Ukrainian operator Energoatom has warned.
"To do this, you must first damage the power lines of the plant connected to the Ukrainian energy system. From August 7 to 9, the Russians have already damaged three power lines. At the moment, the plant is operating with only one production line, which is an extremely dangerous way of working," he said.
