The enemy maintains military equipment on the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP and even launches strikes on Ukraine from there.
Points of attention
- Russian occupiers are violating international humanitarian law by using the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP as a military landfill and deploying equipment dangerously close to nuclear reactors.
- The drone video captures the shocking reality of Russian military equipment positioned near the nuclear plant, showcasing the severe risks posed by their actions.
- International Humanitarian Law explicitly prohibits the use of nuclear power plants for military purposes, yet the occupiers disregard these regulations to hide their military equipment and conduct training operations.
Russia keeps military equipment near Zaporizhzhia NPP nuclear reactors
The Ukrainian military managed to film what the territory of the captured station looks like now using a reconnaissance drone. The video was published by the spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces, Vladislav Voloshyn.
This is a video of the Zaporizhzhia NPP from a reconnaissance UAV. The video is very, very recent. It shows Russian military equipment standing right next to nuclear reactors, which is a violation of international humanitarian law.
Voloshyn noted that International Humanitarian Law explicitly prohibits the use of nuclear power plants as military facilities. But the Russians apparently don't care.
Knowing that we will not fire on the nuclear power plant, the Russians are hiding their military equipment here. They are using the territory and facilities of the ZNPP as a training ground for their UAV operators.
Moreover, there is evidence that the enemy launched MLRS strikes on Zaporizhia from there several times.
"Do you think the IAEA experts, whose mission is at the station, see this?" Voloshin asked.
