The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement after the assassination of the chief engineer of the nuclear power plant

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that the attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), which killed Alexander Yakovlev, chief engineer of the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant, was an attempt by the Kiev regime to endanger the safe operation of the plant. This was announced on July 15 on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"This criminal step by Kiev is another attempt to endanger the safe operation of the NPP and intimidate its employees. The Nazi-Bandera regime is building illusions that it will be able to put pressure on our country in this way, and at the same time it is blackmailing its Western masters, demanding more and more money and weapons," the statement said.
