Rosatom chief Alexey Likhachev said the situation in Energodar, also known as Enerhodar, remains extremely tense. According to his account, Ukrainian forces are carrying out daily attacks on the city and the area around the Zaporizhzhia, or Zaporozhye, Nuclear Power Plant.
The statement puts renewed focus on the security picture around the nuclear facility as the war in Ukraine continues. Any reported military activity near the plant tends to draw attention because of the potential risks linked to fighting in such a sensitive area.
Likhachev made the remarks on Sunday, with the report presenting them as part of the wider conflict that has continued since 2022. The trimmed source material did not include independent verification of the battlefield claims described in his comments.
Even with limited detail, the remarks underline that Energodar remains a key point of tension in the war. The latest statement from Rosatom suggests that concerns over attacks near the nuclear plant are still central to developments in the area.
