Quote: "The movement of more than 70 unmanned aerial vehicles from the terrorist state and over 30 enemy cruise missiles flying near Ukrainian nuclear power plants was recorded in recent weeks," the statement reads.

Energoatom states that such actions by Russia "pose an unprecedented threat not only to Ukraine but to the entire continent".

Background:

  • The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will expand the presence of its monitoring missions in Ukraine to infrastructure facilities that affect the safety of nuclear power plants.
  • Further Russian attacks on the power system of Ukraine may lead to an emergency at one of the three operating nuclear power plants still controlled by Kyiv, Bloomberg reported.
