The British Ministry of Defense told what risks the occupation of the Zaporozhye NPPs was borne

According to the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom, the Zaporizhzhia NPP became a source of danger after the capture of Russian invaders in March 2022. The Twitter agency states that on August 21, the images showed that Russia retained an increased military presence at the ZPP, and armored personnel carriers were deployed within 60 meters from the fifth reactor. Video Day at the British Defense Ministry said that Russian troops tried to hide the cars, parked them under pipes and bridges.

"Russia is probably ready to use any Ukrainian military activity near the ZPP for propaganda purposes," the statement said. According to the agency, while Russia retains the military occupation of the ZPP, the main risks for the operation of reactors will be a violation of the reactors cooling systems, damage to the reserve power source, or the error of pressure personnel. Russian troops have equipped fire positions for the ZPP and fired from there Ukrainian cities.

Energoatom reported that the military of the Russian Federation had placed in the machine hall of the first power unit of Zaporizhzhya NPP at least 14 units of heavy military equipment with ammunition, weapons and explosives. Since March 4, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, Zaporizhzhya NPP, was captured by Russian invaders after fighting in Energodar. The buildings were damaged by Russian shelling in several places, and the staff of the station were captured.
