US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken (Photo: Reuters/David 'Dee' Delgado) US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken accused Russia of the use of the Zaporozhye NPP as a "nuclear shield" and called the Russian Federation "the pinnacle of irresponsibility. " About it reports Reuters. Blinken emphasized that Washington was "deeply concerned" by the fact that Moscow now uses a power plant as a military base and firing on the Ukrainian forces from the station.

"Of course, Ukrainians cannot open a fire, otherwise there will be a terrible accident at the NPP," he said. The Secretary of State stressed that Russia uses not only a living shield from the Ukrainians who remained in the occupied territories, but also a nuclear shield. Since March 4, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, Zaporizhzhya NPP, was captured by Russian invaders after heavy battles in Energodar.
