Kyiv: Russia has disconnected the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest in Europe, from the electrical grid, with the intent of stealing the facility and reconnecting it to a network under its control, Ukraine announced on Saturday.
It warned of the serious risks that could result from this audacious move.
Posting on X, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha, affirmed that due to the Russian actions, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been without electricity for the fourth consecutive day.
He called on all nations concerned about nuclear safety and security to clearly demand that Russia halt what he described as its nuclear gamble.
