The Russian Embassy in the United States stated that the outright lies of the White House representatives on the situation around the Zaporozhye NPP pushes the APU to implement criminal plans that are fraught with a man-made disaster. This was stated in the Telegram channel of the diplomatic department.
Recall that according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Ukrainian military are shelling the Zaporozhye NPP and the city of Energodar. According to the head of the radiation, biological and chemical protection troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the purpose of Kiev’s provocation is to create an exclusion zone of up to 30 kilometers and the introduction of international forces.
“The White House’s silence on all these facts is completely unacceptable and only encourages the impunity of representatives of the Kiev regime. At the same time, Ukraine continues to strike at the NPP under the laudatory rhetoric of Washington,” the Russian Embassy noted.
Among other things, the diplomatic department denied the State Department’s version, according to which Russia allegedly neglects nuclear safety issues and uses violence against employees of the nuclear power plant.
“The White House does not disdain outright lies in unrestrained attempts to denigrate Russia,” the department stressed.
