Britain’s Defence Ministry notes that “Russian troops were probably trying to hide the cars by parking them under hanging pipes and bridges.”
British intelligence suggests that “Russia is ready to use any Ukrainian military activity near ZNPP for propaganda purposes.”
Britain’s Ministry of Defense identifies several major risks to the safety of the reactors: “While Russia continues its military occupation of ZNPP, the main risks to the operation of the reactor are likely to remain failures in the operation of reactor cooling systems, damage to the backup power source or errors of workers working under pressure.
Supplement
According to Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets, the Russians admitted that they really keep military equipment at ZNPP.
