Possible Provocation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant: Official Statement by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Attention! The Armed Forces of Ukraine officially report a possible provocation on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which has been occupied by Russian terrorists since March 4, 2022.
According to operational information, foreign objects resembling explosive devices have been discovered on the outer shell of the third and fourth power units of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The detonation of these objects does not pose a threat to the power units, but it may create a false impression of attacks from Ukraine. Russian media outlets and Telegram channels are actively disseminating disinformation regarding this matter.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine strictly adhere to international humanitarian law and actively monitor the situation. We are prepared to act under any circumstances and counter any provocations.
It should be emphasized that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not engage in any provocations and solely defend their territory. This provocation aims to distort the image of Ukraine in the eyes of the international community.
Despite the threat, we remain in constant readiness to respond to any danger and protect our national security and sovereignty. No enemy provocation will go unnoticed.
