The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, occupied by the Russians, lost power from one of the high-voltage lines on January 3.
This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.
“During the night, as a result of hostilities, the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant lost power from one of the high-voltage lines,” the agency reported.
The Ministry of Energy recalled that during the full-scale war, Russian shelling repeatedly damaged the power lines of the ZNPP and caused 12 blackouts at the plant. The last such incident occurred less than a month ago.
In addition, Russia is deliberately disabling the energy infrastructure in the occupied territory and testing the connection of the Zaporizhzhia NPP to its own energy system in conditions of hostilities and occupation.
It was previously reported that Washington proposed dividing the management of the Zaporizhzhia NPP, which is located in the occupied territory, into three – between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia.
