The IAEA should access, ”the high EU representative on Twitter said on the Twitter page Josep Borrel. On August 5, The Insider, citing sources at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant in Energodar, since March of the occupied Russian Federation, reported suspicious activity of Russian soldiers in the NPP and a possible mine. The publication has a video where Russian military trucks enter the NPP and unload an unknown cargo.

According to the source, a column of military trucks arrived at the NPP on August 2. The trucks stopped between the first and second units and after a while part of the column in one car began to enter the territory of the machine hall of the first power unit through the freight gate. According to this source, the machine hall was replaced.

According to another source, there are about 500 Russian soldiers and military equipment on the territory of the station, including APCs, anti -aircraft installations and radiochemical reconnaissance equipment, and the territory around the station is replaced by Russian troops.

According to the source, near the village of Vodyane, the nearest nuclear power plants, there are batteries of hail, and mines and ammunition, Russian soldiers are stored in close proximity to power units, under trestle, and part of the ammunition even inside the unit.

The shelling, which was recorded on August 5 in the NPP, is considered to be a staged provocation.

According to the employee of one of the blocks, the shelling was disconnected throughout the station, and 3 blocks worked two security systems and launched diesels (which means that the block security system was de -established). The nuclear power plant in Europe, since March 4, the largest Zaporizhzhya NPP, after fighting in Energodar was captured by Russian invaders.
