Russia’s intentions regarding the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station in Ukraine remain unclear, but the actions Russian forces have undertaken at the facility have probably undermined the security and safety of its normal operations, the UK’s defence ministry said in its daily briefing on Friday (5 August).
The ministry said that following five months of occupation, Russia’s intentions regarding Zaporizhzhia remain unclear.
“Russian forces are probably operating in the regions adjacent to the power station and have used artillery units based in these areas to target Ukrainian territory on the western bank of the Dnipro river,” the briefing said.
