Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant: Russia kept explosives on Ukraine’s nuclear plant? After the Kakhovka Dam, is there a plan to destroy it too?

A report claims that satellite photos show unidentified white figures on top of reactor 4 at Zaporizhia Nuclear Plant. The photos, taken by satellite imagery company Planet Labs, were taken on July 5. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that explosives were stored at the plant. Zaporizhia has been under Russian control since March 4, 2022, shortly after Vladimir Putin ordered troops to invade Ukraine in February last year. Five white figures are visible in the new pictures, while no white figures were seen earlier.

Sky News reported that this could be due to a change in lighting but it is inconclusive but it is not possible to confirm with satellite images alone what the shapes are. The report added that no change to the top of reactor 3 could be seen in any of the satellite images sent to Sky News. IAEA Director-General Rafael Mariano Grossi said, “Our experts must be able to verify facts on the ground. Their independent and objective reporting will help clarify the current situation on site, which is important in times like these .

What did Volodymyr Zelensky say?

Zelensky said that we now have information from our intelligence that Russian troops have placed explosive-like objects on the roofs of several power units at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant. Perhaps to simulate an attack on the plant. Maybe they have some other scenario. He claimed that the alleged devices were on top of reactors three and four.
