These BS narratives multiply like stooges after the rain. In fact Russia was the first to call the UN over this.

“In fact Russia was the first to call the UN over this.”
No.

March 3, 2022, Russian forces attacked the plant in the early hours of Friday, setting an adjacent five-story training facility on fire. Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, the largest of its kind in Europe, was seized by Russian forces on Friday, after an attack that started a fire close to one of its six reactors.

The artillery attack on the huge plant in the south-east of the country was condemned around the world, and denounced as a war crime by Ukraine and the US embassy in Kyiv.

No release of radiation was reported, but Ukrainian officials said workers had not been able to check all the safety infrastructure in the wake of the attack.

Kotin said Russian forces had broken through a Ukrainian barricade on Thursday night with 100 armoured vehicles, and had begun shelling the plant. He said they targeted administrative buildings and the checkpoint at the entrance until they won control of the site.

The Zaporizhzhia plant in south-eastern Ukraine – which houses six of the country’s 15 nuclear reactors – as well as the neighbouring town of Energodar, have been surrounded by Russian troops since the beginning of the week.

CROWDS OF LOCAL PEOPLE had stood in the road leading up to the plant, forming a human barrier to the invading force.
