A publication appeared on the official website of the Pentagon, which claims that the incident that occurred on August 9 at the Saki airfield in Novofedorovka was provoked by shelling from the Ukrainian army. This was announced by a senior official from the US Department of Defense.
However, initially the Americans were in no hurry to draw such conclusions.
“On August 9, Ukraine fired at the Russian Saki airbase located in the Crimea,” the text of the publication of the American defense Department says.
In addition, an official from the US Defense Ministry recalled that the Zaporozhye NPP is still under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. According to the IAEA, there is no immediate threat to nuclear safety, but this may change over time.
