The Russian Defense Ministry says Ukrainian UAVs allegedly attacked  Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant.

With such statements, the Kremlin is trying to shift the responsibility for all security risks due to the occupation of the ZNPP by the Russian military onto Ukraine. In addition, such accusations are part of Russia's nuclear blackmail and intimidation with a man-made disaster,

- notes the Center for Countering Disinformation.

The only real factor in the nuclear threat on the territory of Ukraine is the Russian occupation forces.
