Russia is reducing its presence at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Ukraine’s military intelligence directorate (GUR) has claimed, with staff told to relocate to Crimea and military patrols scaled back.
The agency’s chief, Kyrylo Budanov, has alleged Moscow has approved a plan to blow up the station and has mined four out of six power units, as well as a cooling pond. Last week Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said Russia was plotting a “terrorist attack”.
According to the GUR, several representatives of Russia’s state nuclear energy agency, Rosatom, have already left. Ukrainian employees who stayed at the plant and signed contracts with Rosatom had been told to evacuate by Monday, preferably to Crimea, it said.
This is interesting, is it because they are loosing territory or planning to blow it?
I guess they could blow it up soon. Horrifying.

IAEA is not confirming it, but I think it’s a stretch to get “pure deranged nonsense” from that quote.

…in your opinion. As per your link, the IAEA does not share your certainty.

It is fascinating how personal biases shape our communications and beliefs.
i’ve seen this guy in many ukraine related threads shilling for the ruskies
They blew up a dam they controlled. why not a nuclear power plant?
Has Russia claimed that?
No but they didn’t claim the mass graves in bucha either so i am reluctant to trust their silence
