One country in history occupied a working nuclear power plant — Russia.
No other state, even during the war attacked such objects. No terrorist organization has resorted to such blackmail.
At the beginning of 2022, after the occupation of the Chernobyl and Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plants, the terrorist country Russia became the first to resort to nuclear blackmail.

Russia’s seizure of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is both a gross violation of international law and an act of nuclear terrorism. The Russian invaders have not only made the ZNPP into a military base, all the while their propaganda pundits and officials blatantly work on the world’s fears of it becoming a nuclear disaster by regularly adding fuel to the media fire by accusing Ukraine of planning acts of sabotage at the ZNPP.
Since the Russians took over the power plant, the Ukrainian authorities and military-political command have attempted to draw global attention to the aforementioned threats. According to intelligence reports, Russia has made preparations for a terrorist attack on the plant. On June 22 and July 5, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly urged global leaders to prevent this disaster. Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence, also reported on the laying of explosives in the NPP during interviews with foreign media. On the evening of July 4, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported indications that the invaders had placed explosives on the roofs of two power units within the plant, which could be used to to simulate the consequences of external shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
Kremlin propaganda tries to convince Russians and foreigners that Ukraine is the real source of any nuclear threat. Analysis shows that the Russian Federation is conducting a psychological operation involving controlled mass media, officials, diplomats, the state corporation “Rosatom” and foreign agents of influence.
Nuclear blackmail was also launched.
We are talking not only about the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, encouraged by l Moscow, which threatens a nuclear catastrophe, but also about the statements of some high-ranking representatives of the Russian MoD about the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons against NATO states.”
