The other day, the Russian Federation already accused the Defense Forces of shelling the area near the Zaporizhzhya NPP, which led to the power facility's backup line being de-energized, and, apparently, such “falsehoods” will continue.

As reported by NBN, citing the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Russian leadership is permanently simulating the emergence of a nuclear threat from Ukraine, resorting to dubious rhetoric.
In particular, not long ago, the aggressor country tried to use the visit of IAEA head Rafael Grossi to the Kursk NPP, intending to demonstrate that Ukraine was allegedly provoking a nuclear catastrophe, which was aimed at revising or refusing to support Kyiv by partner states.
In conclusion, Grossi wrote that potential strikes on any nuclear power plant are absolutely unacceptable and the location of the facility does not matter much. However, the Kursk NPP is too vulnerable, since its reactor hall does not have a protective shell, that is, the dangerous equipment is located in a “regular building”: in fact, the “nuclear boiler” can be destroyed by both drones and shelling.
In addition, Russian media wrote: Grossi saw a number of pieces of evidence of military action in the area of the NPP, namely, the wreckage of downed kamikaze drones, and it is the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that threaten the station.
The IAEA refuted such disinformation, specifying that the Kremlin reported the discovery of wreckage of a drone at the Kursk NPP, but the international inspectors were not provided with any evidence confirming the involvement of the Ukrainian army.
Earlier we wrote about the IAEA reporting the reason for the power outage at the Zaporizhzhya NPP on August 23.
