On July 1, during a press conference with the prime minister of Spain, Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave an interview to the Spanish newspaper El Mundo. Answering a question about the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, Zelensky again reminded that Russians mined the station and could be destroyed remotely. The same situation as was with Kakhovka HPP.
"The situation at the power plant is very tough, but is it possible to estimate the level of Putin's insanity on a scale from 1 to 10?" Zelenskyy.
For several months, Ukraine shouted that the occupiers had mined the Kakhovka HPP and that its destruction would lead to ecocide and global consequences. The fact that Ukraine did not find support from other states may have prompted the Russians to blow up the dam. Also remotely.
It is known that the occupiers have completed the mining of the ZNPP and ordered Rosatom employees to leave the station. There still remained captive ZNPP employees and about 5.000 armed Russian soldiers.
