This was stated in an interview with the British edition of The New Statement by the head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov.
[План теракту на ЗАЕС] fully developed and approved. To accelerate the crash, they can use technical means, – said Budanov.
In particular, Budanov drew attention to the following threats to the power plant:
- nuclear reactors without refrigeration can melt down in 10 hours to 14 days;
- an accident at the Zaporizhia NPP could lead to an increase in voltage by the Russians on the power supply lines to the station;
- the Russians mined the ZNPP cooling pond;
- The occupiers placed equipment filled with explosives near four of the six power units of the station.
The situation has never been as serious as it is now,” he stressed.
According to Budanov, the order of the aggressor state to carry out a terrorist attack at the ZNPP could be caused by the defeat of the Russian occupation troops on the left bank of the Dnieper – Russia considers the creation of a nuclear disaster zone as a safeguard for the further advancement of Ukrainian troops.
At the same time, Budanov notes, there is also a risk that Russia could carry out an attack on the ZNPP with a radiation leak as a “preventive measure” to stop the offensive operation of Ukraine and freeze the front line in its current form.
