Moscow \u2014 Russia has expressed strong objection to the killing of a staff member in an attack on the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, which is under Russian control. In a statement issued on Sunday, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova strongly condemned what she called a new reckless and criminal attack by the Ukrainian regime, describing it as “bloody and criminal in nature.”<\/p>\n

Zakharova stated, “The Kiev regime continues to demonstrate its bloody and criminal essence. On April 27, a new reckless and criminal attack was carried out on Russia’s peaceful nuclear energy facility, the Zaporizhzhya NPP, as a result of which the life of one of the plant’s employees was tragically cut short.” She resolutely condemned this atrocity and expressed deep condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased.<\/p>\n

The Russian Spokesperson praised the courage and resilience of the Zaporizhzhya NPP staff, who, despite the deadly threats and provocations from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, continue to perform their duty and maintain the safe functioning of the plant, demonstrating the highest level of professionalism. She noted that the attack took place just days after the conclusion of the 10th Review Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Convention on Nuclear Safety, calling it an act of “particular cynicism” by Kiev.<\/p>\n

Zakharova stated, “It is obvious that the Ukrainian side holds a different opinion, making it clear that it places no value on nuclear safety, nor on those who continue to shield and justify Zelensky’s nuclear adventurism. By deliberately creating radiological threats in the heart of Europe, Kiev appears not averse to playing on the nerves of its Western sponsors in order to get them to cough up funds more quickly.” She stressed that the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its Director General Rafael Grossi must be uncompromising towards the lawlessness perpetrated by Ukraine, and emphasised that the international community is obliged to deliver a deserved and severe verdict against the Kiev regime, forcing it to cease attacks on the Zaporizhzhya NPP and other peaceful nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n
