Russian troops opened fire on Energodar, and also struck in the immediate vicinity of the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
Russia should immediately stop shelling the corridors following the IAEA mission to the Zaporizhzhya NPP territory. About that expressed spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Nikolenko.
“In violation of its obligations, the Russian army is conducting a massive shelling of the corridor through which the IAEA mission is supposed to proceed from Zaporozhye to the nuclear power plant. Russia must immediately stop these dangerous provocations and ensure the safe passage of the IAEA,” he said.
According to the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, on the morning of Thursday, September 1, Russian troops opened fire on Energodar, and also hit in the immediate vicinity of the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
It was noted that a group of Russian K-52 attack helicopters “worked” in the city, attacking residential areas. A mortar strike was made in the immediate vicinity of the ZNPP territory and nuclear reactors.
As you know, today, September 1, the mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency led by Chairman Rafael Grossi is to start with ZNPP.
“The shelling in the morning is part of a plan to provoke a mission aimed at creating the image that the Kremlin needs. Obviously, the invaders will traditionally try to accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine of shelling the station and civilians,” said GUR.
Earlier, the head of the Zaporozhye OVA, Alexander Starukh, said that the Russians were shelling the route of the IAEA mission from Zaporozhye to the ZNPP.
It was also reported that Russian troops were shelling Energodar from mortars and machine guns starting at five in the morning.
