Kyiv accuses Moscow of spreading ‘fake’ information of an attack on Europe’s largest nuclear plant to stir more tension.
Moscow has accused Ukraine of launching “very dangerous” drone attacks on the Russia-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant – allegations that Kyiv described as “fake” information.
In a statement on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the incident as “a very dangerous provocation”.
“This is a very dangerous practice that has very, very bad negative consequences in the long term. Unfortunately, the Kyiv regime continues its terrorist activity.”
Russia said Ukraine struck the plant three times on Sunday and demanded the West respond, though Kyiv said it had nothing to do with the attacks.
Kyiv said Moscow is trying to spread “fake” information within the Ukrainian territory to stir more tension.
