🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s statement on the Kiev regime’s continuing attacks and provocations against the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (October 5, 2026)
💬 The Kiev regime continues to deliberately create the risk of a serious nuclear accident by attacking Russia’s Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP).
On October 4, Ukrainian militants used a UAV to strike the ZNPP’s laboratory and support building No. 2, located just 200 metres from the plant’s reactor units.
Kiev also shelled the radioactive waste processing building twice. Those behind this provocation know full well that an attack on this ZNPP facility could damage equipment essential to the safe handling of radioactive materials.
On the same day, October 4, the neo-Nazi Kiev regime targeted a truck carrying food supplies for the plant’s personnel near Melitopol. The driver was killed.
▪️ The Russian Foreign Ministry extends its deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
Ukraine thus continues to attack the ZNPP and its associated infrastructure to disrupt the plant’s operations and create the risk of a nuclear accident. These outrages, which bring the threat of a nuclear catastrophe dangerously close, once again expose the Kiev regime’s true terrorist nature.
Western countries’ failure to respond adequately has emboldened Kiev to step up its attacks on the ZNPP. They continue to supply Ukraine with weapons, effectively encouraging further attacks and provocations.
Their response to Ukrainian attacks on the ZNPP shows how little their statements on nuclear safety and security at the IAEA, the UN and other international forums are worth. It also makes clear that they are willing to endorse any terrorist methods their proxies use to advance their goals.
❗️ We call on the IAEA leadership to unequivocally condemn the criminal actions of Kiev and its sponsors.
