LUGANSK, June 9. /TASS/. Ukraine’s drone strikes on the territory of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant last week are a direct challenge to international security, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador at Large on Kiev’s War Crimes Rodion Miroshnik told TASS.
"The strike was carried out in the area of the Dneprovskaya power line during an agreed period of silence for the duration of repairs. This act of aggression has become a blatant example of nuclear terrorism and a direct challenge to international security. As a result of the strike, three civilian specialists who were eliminating the consequences of previous attacks were seriously wounded. The attack during the repairs of a critically important power supply line providing external power to the nuclear power plant clearly demonstrates the Kiev regime's complete disregard for the basic principles of nuclear safety," he said.
