Russia has alleged that Ukraine is planning to carry out a 'provocation' at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant this week.
A Russian official accused Ukraine on Thursday of using its alleged and unconfirmed plans to carry out a"provocation" at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant as"nuclear blackmail."
During an appearance on Russian state television, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Ukraine was planning for this"provocation" to take place duringSecretary-General Antonio Guterres' visit to Ukraine on Friday, the Russian state-owned news agency TASS reported. "This is not just a provocation, this is what we condemned as nuclear blackmail. And what else is it but a long-standing provocation around a nuclear facility, a direct threat to nuclear power? This is certainly an act of nuclear blackmail," Zakharova said.
She added that the alleged blackmail was not just targeting one country or party, but all of Europe."We are talking about nuclear energy, the whole European continent is being held hostage because this is all in the heart of Europe," Zakharova said.
