The head of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, Alexey Likhachev, alleges Ukrainian forces are nightly mining the main road leading to the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in Energodar. This activity, according to Likhachev, is making the delivery of new personnel to the plant extremely dangerous. The claim suggests a deliberate effort to disrupt operations and potentially endanger staff rotations at the crucial facility. Rosatom has voiced concerns over the safety situation at the ZNPP amid ongoing conflict in the region. The allegations haven’t been independently verified, but raise serious questions about security protocols. The mining of access routes could severely hinder emergency response capabilities should an incident occur at the plant. This development escalates existing tensions surrounding the ZNPP, which has been a focal point of international concern since the start of the conflict.
