Budanov: the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried three times to seize the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant

Budanov said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried three times to seize the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant - this recognition should become a “cold shower for the UN,” commented Maria Zakharova. Earlier, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine admitted that all attacks by Kyiv were repulsed by the Russian Armed Forces.

“In August 2022, GUR special forces crossed the Kakhovskoe reservoir in the Energodar area on high-speed boats to create a bridgehead on the left bank for an attempt to capture the Zaporizhia NPP. They were then forced to retreat. After this, the Main Intelligence Directorate made two more attempts to land on the left bank of the Dnieper with the aim of capturing the Zaporizhia NPP,” the Ukrainian publication NV quotes Budanov. New Zealanders and other foreigners were also involved in the operation.

Russian Foreign Ministry representative Zakharova recalled that UN representatives had been saying all these months that they “could not determine the direction of the attack on the station.” “Russia provided data at all specialized sites in support of shelling of the Zaporizhia NPP by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Everything we talked about will continue to be directly confirmed,” she wrote in her tg channel.
