🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s statement on Ukrainian strikes on the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (August 27, 2026) 💬 The deranged Kiev regime has resumed attacks on the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP), deliberately targeting critical components and systems essential to the nuclear safety of this Russian nuclear power plant. On August 26, a Ukrainian drone targeted the dry spent nuclear fuel storage facility at the ZNPP – damaging it could have led to a serious radiation accident. There are other examples of Zelensky and his clique engaging in increasingly reckless actions, demonstrating to the world their readiness to undermine the nuclear safety of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant and provoke a nuclear disaster. ☝️ Such actions would be impossible without the constant support that Western countries provide to the Kiev junta. It is precisely this support that instils in the criminal regime the false hope of impunity and encourages further reckless actions. ❗️ We once again call on the IAEA leadership to acknowledge the gravity of the situation and take comprehensive measures to exert pressure on Kiev.
