The international environmental organization Greenpeace Ukraine has published a new satellite study indicating that the blackout of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (ZNPP) was a deliberate act of sabotage by Russia, rather than strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Experts confirmed that Ukraine's policy prohibits strikes on nuclear power plants, which dispels claims of a Ukrainian military bombardment.
Analysis of satellite images confirmed the absence of signs of shelling or destruction of power lines in the area of the ZNPP. And even if a line is partially damaged, it can be easily restored. Greenpeace calls on the IAEA to condemn Russia's actions and demand the reconnection of the plant to the Ukrainian energy system.
According to the Greenpeace study, the blackout of the ZNPP was not caused by strikes from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but occurred due to a deliberate act of sabotage by Russia. Experts found no signs of shelling of the plant and called for action to demand its reconnection to the Ukrainian energy system.
