"As a result of periodic shelling, the infrastructure of the station has been damaged," Energoatom said in a statement.

Ukraine’s state-run energy operator warned Saturday that “there are risks of hydrogen leakage and sputtering of radioactive substances” from the country’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as shelling in the Russian-occupied area continues, despite international pleas for a ceasefire.

“As a result of periodic shelling, the infrastructure of the station has been damaged,” Energoatom said in a statement, cautioning that “the fire hazard is high” and that the plant “operates with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards.”

      Yeah, imagine thinking that Ukraine would be shelling the plant they lost. Explain to use how and why Russia would be shelling the plant they control and have troops stationed at. None of you trolls have ever provided a plausible reason for that. You believe it simply because anything that’s obviously bad and idiotic must be done by Russia as opposed the fascist regime you’re in love with.

          Still waiting for you to explain why Russia would be shelling a power plant they control and have personnel at. Being a propagandists for a fascist regime is getting harder by the day.

              Russia controls the power plant and has personnel there. What reason does Russia have to shell the plan. This is a simple question that you are unable to answer in large volumes of verbal diarrhea you’ve produced here.

                  You’re unable to answer because the whole idea is fundamentally illogical. The fact is that Russia controls the power plan, and nobody is disputing that. Given this fact, you have to explain to us what reason Russia would have for shelling this plant that’s producing electricity for Donbas which they also control.

                  IAEA will surely report on who is doing the shelling, which is pretty obvious already to anyone who has even a couple of brain cells to bang together.

      Imagine actually believing that Ukraine is shelling a plant they’re trying to secure. What possible reason would they have to do that?

      You really need to think this through. Ask yourself what would happen within the military if the average soldier of the Russian army felt like their own side was happy to shell them. Ask yourself how Russians would feel being order to shell other Russians. Ask yourself what kind of incredibly damaging chatter that would cause to permeate among the ranks of the entire army.

      No military shells its own side on purpose. It’s totally utterly ridiculous. It’s self-defeating. Your men will walk away, you will have no military left.
