The Kremlin has denied the Ukrainian president's accusations that Russia is planning to leak radiation.
earlier this month increased worries about nuclear risks since the dam's reservoir supplies cooling waters for the Zaporizhzhia plant.
"Intelligence has received information that Russia is considering the scenario of a terrorist act at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant—a terrorist act with a release of radiation," Zelensky said in his address."They have prepared everything for this." Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky delivers a speech via his Twitter channel. Zelensky said Ukraine believes that Russia is plotting a"terrorist act" at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant."This is another lie," Kremlin spokesmansaid during a press briefing."There have just been contacts with the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] there, on the ground. A very high assessment from the IAEA. They saw everything—everything they wanted to see.
IAEA director Rafael Grossi traveled to Zaporizhzhia last week to assess the nuclear safety at the facility. In a Wednesday statement, he said ZNPP staff were"exploring alternative ways of getting water" to the plant following the destruction of the Kakhovka dam. Grossi also said the IAEA has increased its presence at the facility to monitor its safety given the military conflict.
