Defense Express Director Sergey Zgurets has commented on the provocation of Russian invaders at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant on August 11, revealing the purpose of such enemy actions.
According to Zgurets, the recent provocation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was a deliberate attempt by the Russian invaders to create chaos and destabilize the situation in Ukraine. The invaders’ ultimate goal is to weaken Ukraine’s energy security and gain control over the country’s vital infrastructure.
Zgurets emphasized that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is a strategic asset for Ukraine, providing about 40% of the country’s electricity. Any attack or disruption at the plant could have catastrophic consequences for the entire country.
The Defense Express director also pointed out that the timing of the provocation was not accidental. It coincided with the ongoing military exercises in the Black Sea, where Russia is flexing its military muscles and testing Ukraine’s defense capabilities. By targeting the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the Russian invaders are trying to divert Ukraine’s attention and resources from the ongoing military threat.
Zgurets also highlighted the fact that the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been a frequent target of Russian cyber attacks in the past. These attacks have been aimed at disrupting the plant’s operations and causing a nuclear disaster. However, thanks to the strong cybersecurity measures in place, these attempts have been unsuccessful so far.
The Defense Express director urged the Ukrainian government to take immediate action to strengthen the security of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and other critical infrastructure. He also called on the international community to condemn the Russian invaders’ actions and provide support to Ukraine in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In conclusion, Zgurets emphasized that the provocation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was a clear indication of Russia’s aggressive intentions towards Ukraine. It is crucial for Ukraine to remain vigilant and take all necessary measures to protect its vital assets from further attacks. The international community must also stand in solidarity with Ukraine and support its efforts to counter Russian aggression. Only through unity and determination can Ukraine overcome this threat and ensure its security and stability.
