MOSCOW, 3 Sep — PRIME. During the shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by Ukrainian troops, an “arrival” was recorded between the second and third blocks, the station was transferred to power for its own needs, said Volodymyr Rogov, a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region.

Earlier, Rogov reported that Ukrainian troops had been shelling the ZNPP for the last two hours.

“Three “arrivals” 400 meters east of the ZNPP. Another arrival between the second and third power units,” Rogov wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to him, the nuclear power plant has been transferred to power supply for its own needs.

ZNPP is located on the left bank of the Dnieper near Energodar. This is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe in terms of the number of units and installed capacity. Since March, it has been under the protection of the Russian military. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation emphasized the justification for the Russian military to take under the protection of the power plant in terms of preventing leaks of nuclear and radioactive materials. The Ukrainian military continues to regularly shell Energodar, the surrounding villages and the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant adjacent to the city.
