Russia to strengthen perimeter protection of nuclear plant

Moscow, Jun 1 (Prensa Latina) Strengthening the perimeter of the Zaporozhye nuclear plant and the Kakhovka dam is a necessary measure, as Kiev has not desisted from its plans of attacking them, said the region's deputy governor, Vladimir Rogov.

According to the functionary statements to the Vzgliad newspaper, the declarations of the Ukrainian representatives that they will not attack the nuclear power plant proved to be false, since they have kept bombarding it for over a year.

In Rogov’s opinion, Ukraine plans to launch a landing operation across the Dnieper River with the aim of assaulting the Kakhovka reservoir and the Energodar city region to capture the plant.

In the first days of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, Russian troops took a large part of the Zaporozhye province, including the city of Energodar and the nuclear power plant, which in October 2022 became a property of the Russian Federation.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has said the Kiev regime seeks to create the appearance of a threat of nuclear catastrophe by continuing deliberate attacks in the region.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly declared the need to create a security zone around the plant.
