The Russians are putting the world on the brink of a nuclear disaster

Mass shelling of Ukraine: the Russian Armed Forces struck three TPPs

As a result, of the rocket attack, the equipment of the substations was seriously damaged, and after the end of the air alert, the energy companies began to eliminate the consequences of the hits.

On the night of March 9, the Russian Armed Forces attacked the territory of Ukraine from the air. Objects of critical infrastructure became the target. As a result of the attack, three TPPs were damaged. This was reported by the DTEK company.

“Russian troops continue to carry out massive attacks on energy facilities in Ukraine. On March 9, as a result, of the shelling, three DTEK Energo thermal power plants were damaged. As a result, of the shelling, the equipment of the TPP was seriously damaged. After the end of the attack, the energy industry promptly started liquidating the consequences,” the message says.

Fortunately, none of the workers were injured during the rocket attack on the substations.

The company reminded that since September 2022, DTEK TPPs have already been attacked 29 times. As a result of the attacks, 3 energy workers were killed, and 28 were injured.

Due to Russian shelling, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is completely de-energized

As a result, of a night missile attack in Ukraine on March 9, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was completely de-energized. Russian shelling led to the disconnection of the last line of communication between the nuclear power plant and the Ukrainian power system.

The power plant is de-energized and has gone into blackout mode for the sixth time during the stay of Russian troops on its territory. As a result of a massive missile attack, the 5th and 6th power units are put into a cold state. This was reported in “Energoatom”.

The department also noted that after that, 18 diesel generators were switched on to power the ZNPP’s own needs. Fuel for their work remains for 10 days.

“If it is impossible to renew the external power supply of the station during this time, an accident with radiation consequences for the whole world may occur,” warned Energoatom.

Energoatom called on the international community to urgently take measures to withdraw the Russian military from the territory of the Zaporizhzhіa NPP and transfer the plant under the full control of a competent, legitimate operator.

The Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko noted that the Russians are putting the world on the brink of a nuclear disaster. Weed emphasized that this happened the day after negotiations with the UN regarding the demilitarization of the ZNPP.

“Another massive attack on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine. As a result of the shelling, the last line that fed the ZNPP was damaged. Now the plant is running on diesel generators,” the minister wrote.
