The Zaporijia nuclear power plant (Ukraine), occupied by the Russians, has been completely disconnected from the network since Thursday, August 25. In question, lines of communication damaged following bombardments.
The Zaporijia power plant (Ukraine) is once again at the heart of the conflict, Thursday August 25th. This nuclear plant is occupied by the Russians, but still managed by the Ukrainians. For 6 months, she has been the victim of bombardments. It is today cut off from its electricity network because of a fire, which would have damaged the last line of communication still in service.
“The actions of the invaders caused a total disconnection of the Zaporizhia power plant from the electricity grid, for the first time in its history”, denounces the Ukrainian nuclear agency. “During the day, the Ukrainian artillery launched seven large-caliber strikes against the area of the power plant”, retorts Igor Konaschenkov, spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense. Disconnecting the plant endangers the cooling system of the reactors. But for now, the specialists want to be reassuring.
