The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant returns to the attention of the whole world today after bombings carried out by Russia in its vicinity led, for the first time in its history, to the disconnection from the electricity grid of Ukraine, something we were warned about by the Ukrainian authorities in repeated times.
The last power line connecting the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant to the Ukrainian power grid was destroyed by today's bombings, and so the Russians have fulfilled their goal of disconnecting the power plant from the Ukrainian power grid, most likely connecting it to the Own.
"The Russian shell disconnects the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant from the grid for the first time in history. Ukraine's state nuclear company Energoatom said the last line connecting the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to the Ukrainian grid had been disconnected.
Three others were damaged by Russian bombing earlier. Russia, which is bombing Ukrainian positions on the territory of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Enerhodar, has been accused of using it as a shield and tool for blackmail.”
