Zakharova announced shelling of the Zaporizhia NPP due to the lack of reaction from the West

The shelling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) became possible due to the lack of reaction from the West. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. Her words are quoted on the ministry's website.

“Kiev’s intensification of shelling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant became possible due to the lack of a proper reaction to such actions on the part of Western states, which actually condone new attacks and provocations and continue to supply Ukraine with weapons,” the diplomatic department quotes Zakharova’s words.

In her statement, she emphasized that such an attitude towards the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strikes on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant shows the “real value of the discussions” of representatives of these countries about nuclear and nuclear security on international platforms and demonstrates that they are ready to support any methods to achieve their goals.
