Kremlin propaganda outlets are publishing video from the event.Putin denies that Russian forces are shelling the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, instead accusing Ukraine of attacks.“It is within range of Ukrainian artillery. They hit these areas and practically prevent our repair crews from getting there. At the same time, they claim it’s us. But Mr. Grossi was there, IAEA staff are present. They remain silent, embarrassed by what is really happening, but everyone sees it. They all see what is happening,” the Russian leader said.At the same time, Putin threatened that Russia could target nuclear plants located in Ukrainian-controlled territory.“This is a dangerous game. And people on the other side must also understand: if they play so dangerously, they have nuclear power plants on their side. What prevents us from responding in kind? Let them think about that,” he declared.On October 1, Russian occupation forces struck a substation in the town of Slavutych, Kyiv region. The attack cut off electricity to the town, leaving the confinement structure at the Chornobyl nuclear plant without power.
