The Russian Embassy in the United States reacted to the “strike” on the ZNPP

“We call on the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency to condemn the criminal actions of Kyiv and take immediate measures to prevent provocations at radiation hazardous facilities in Ukraine. And American journalists to stop bawling Russophobic fabrications,” the message says.

The embassy says that the American media launched an indiscriminate disinformation campaign, and the shelling of the ZNPP, which comes from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is a real nuclear threat to Europe.

ZNPP has long been under the control of the Russian army. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed to the justification for taking the power plant under protection from the point of view of preventing leaks of nuclear and radioactive materials. The department also recalled that the Ukrainian operator continues to manage the station.
