At this moment, repair works are underway to restore electricity supply lines serving the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).

This marks the 42nd instance since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion that Ukrainian energy specialists have had to restore the lines powering the plant.

The connection of ZNPP to Ukraine’s national power grid and the stable operation of the plant ensured by Ukrainian professionals are critical prerequisites for preventing any incidents or accidents at Europe’s largest nuclear facility.

The sole cause of the unprecedented risks and the threat of a radiation incident in Europe is Russia’s military aggression, the occupation of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and the systematic shelling of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
