Ukraine will hold large-scale exercises in case of Russian explosion of Zaporizhzhya NPP
Protocols for joint actions of special services have already been drawn up, now they need to be practiced
The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine has announced large-scale exercises involving central, regional and local services to prepare the country's intelligence services in the event of a terrorist attack at the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).
Source. This was reported by the BBC.
It is reported that during the exercises, "measures to overcome the consequences in the event of the Russian military blowing up one of the power units of the station" will be practiced.
The relevant protocols for joint actions of the special services have already been drawn up, the head of the ministry, Herman Galushchenko, said, and now they need to be practiced, which is why the exercises are being held.
According to Galushchenko, the fifth power unit of Zaporizhzhya NPP continues to operate in the "hot shutdown" mode, as the Russian troops occupying the plant do not allow the reactor to be switched to the "cold shutdown" state, which "significantly increases the risk of a terrorist threat to the nuclear facility."
Energoatom President Petro Kotin clarifies that the company is modeling various scenarios at ZNPP, their possible consequences and options for overcoming them as soon as possible.
Background. As reported, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, said that as of today, the plan to blow up the plant has been developed and approved by the Russians.
