Russia ‘sabotaging’ power supply lines at Zaporizhzhia plant: Greenpeace
Investigation finds no evidence of Russia's claims that Ukrainian attacks hit the nuclear power plant.
Russia is sabotaging the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in occupied southeastern Ukraine and blaming it on Kyiv to “confuse and distract” from the threats posed by its “illegal occupation and war”, Greenpeace has warned.
In a report published on Thursday, the environmental group concluded that Moscow is “deliberately sabotaging” the plant’s electricity supply while engaging in a “disinformation campaign” about the attacks.
Greenpeace Ukraine and London-based McKenzie Intelligence Services (MIS) analysed satellite imagery of the site and found no evidence of Russian claims that Ukrainian attacks had occurred.
MIS analysed several satellite images of the 330 kV Ferosplavna-1 power line near the Zaporizhzhia plant provided by Airbus’s defence and space division. The images were taken between October 2025 and June 2026 and analysed to assess whether damage at the site was caused by Ukrainian artillery fire on February 10 and a Ukrainian drone strike on June 4, as Moscow alleged.
