What is happening at the Zaporijjia nuclear power plant, located in Ukraine but occupied by Russian troops? Since the start of the war, the two camps have been regularly torn apart around the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, and the tension has just escalated again on Tuesday. On the one hand, kyiv accused Moscow of preparing a « provocation ». On the other, Moscow ensures that Ukraine is preparing a ” offensive “ of the installation.
The Ukrainian army has warned against “the possible preparation of a provocation on the territory of the Zaporizhia power plant in the near future”. She advances that “objects similar to explosive devices were placed on the outer roof of reactors 3 and 4”.

Zaporizhia nuclear power plant: “They are all playing with fire”
“Their detonation should not damage the generators, but give the impression of bombardments from the Ukrainian side”continues the army, warning that Moscow “will misinform about it”.
An “attack” of the imminent power plant?
In Moscow, an adviser to the Russian nuclear giant Rosatom, Renat Karchaa, accused kyiv of preparing a ” offensive “ from power stations. “Today we received information that I am authorized to reveal. On July 5, during the night, in complete darkness, the Ukrainian army will try to attack the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhya”, Renat Karchaa told Russian television. He assures that kyiv has planned to use “long-range precision weapons” and drones.
“At the front, they suffer in their flesh, we, in our heads”: in Zaporijia, the war so far, so close…
Falling into the hands of the Russian army on March 4, 2022, Europe’s largest power plant was targeted by gunfire and cut off from the electricity grid on several occasions. According to kyiv, Russia has placed troops and weapons in its compound.
The destruction in May of the Kakhovka dam located in the southern zone occupied by Russia raised concerns about the sustainability of the basin used to cool the six reactors of the plant.
On June 22, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of preparing a ” terrorist attack “ involving a leak “radiation” at the Zaporizhia power plant, an accusation immediately dismissed as ” lie “ by the Kremlin.
