“The third blackout of ZNPP. Tonight, due to another shelling by Russian troops, the last line connecting the station with the Ukrainian energy system was damaged,” Halushchenko wrote on Facebook.
The work of ZNPP, the Minister noted, is provided by diesel generators, the fuel for which is enough for 10 days.

“Perhaps this is another increase in rates by the Russians on the occasion of Rafael Grossi’s visit to Moscow. After all, after a meeting with the President of Ukraine, the Director General of the IAEA made a statement that ZNPP is Ukrainian station,” Halushchenko said.
And he added that “the civilized world has already given a clear assessment of Russia’s actions, but the nuclear terrorist continues his blackmail.” “And it is possible to stop them only with tough sanctions, first of all – against the nuclear industry. And now only the professionalism of Ukrainian nuclear scientists is a safeguard for a possible nuclear accident,” the minister said.
Supplement
From the night shelling at the ZNPP, there was a complete de-energization of the station.
