Details: The energy company noted that with the onset of the autumn-winter period, Russian troops are intensifying the energy terror of Ukrainian NPPs, creating new risks for the safe operation of nuclear facilities.
Quote from Petro Kotin, Energoatom CEO: "The enemy is deliberately violating the principles of nuclear and radiation safety of nuclear power plants, resorting to outright terrorism. This must be stopped as soon as possible because the entire continent may feel the consequences."
