DISINFO: Ukrainians carried out the arson of Zaporizhya nuclear plant
SUMMARY
The Ukrainian saboteur group attacked the patrol of the Russian Guard, which guarded the Zaporizhya nuclear power plant and the territory adjacent to it. The group opened fire and set fire to the training building next to the station.
This is a new provocation by the Ukranians. The nuclear power plant has been under the control of Russian Armed Forces since February 28. The Ukrainian servicemen left the facility and disappeared even before the arrival of the Russian units.
RESPONSE
Disinformation aiming at justifying the Russian invasion of Ukraine. IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said at the press conference on 4 March that a Russian projectile hit the Zaporizhya Nuclear Power Plant.
The Zaporizhya nuclear power plant broadcast live pictures of video surveillance of the plant on the night of 3 to 4 March 2022 during the attack. A tank shell hit the power plant at 1:43:20 of the video.
