Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy maintains that Ukrainian intelligence had obtained information saying that Russia contemplates carrying out a ”terrorist” attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.

In a video statement on Telegram, Zelenskiy said that Ukraine was sharing the information with all its international partners, writes Reuters.

”Intelligence has received information that Russia is considering the scenario of a terrorist act at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant - a terrorist act with the release of radiation,” he says.

Russia dismisses the president’s claim as ”another lie”, writes Reuters, and further said that UN nuclear inspectors visited the plant only recently and deemed everything in perfect order.

The general director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, paid a visit to the nuclear power plant in occupied Ukraine.

In spite of difficult circumstances, the nuclear power plant situation had been stabilized after the Kakhovka dam blast.

The explosion compromised on of the reservoirs supplying the nuclear reactors with cooling water flows.

Zelenskiy does not go further into the evidency, which he claims are in the Ukrainian intelligence’s possession.

Each side has numerously accused the other of bombing the six-reactor plant, Europe’s largest.

”Unfortunately, I have had to remind [people] more than once that radiation knows no state borders. And who it will hit is determined only by the direction of the wind,” he says, according to Reuters.

The then Soviet nation of Ukraine suffered the world’s worst nuclear accident when the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was hit by an explosion and subsequent fire in 1986, causing clouds of radioactive material to spread across much of Europe.
