Ukrainian officials said they have procedures in place for a potential Russian assault on the Zaporizhzhia power plant, as Kyiv warned of a provocation from the Kremlin at the facility. 

Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar warned Moscow is capable of β€œcompletely reckless actions” that could it try to pass off as sabotage by Ukraine. At the same time, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said there is a β€œgreat threat of sabotage by Kyiv” at the plant, which could have β€œcatastrophic consequences.”

Maliar said on Wednesday: β€œIn order to minimize potential negative consequences, emergency services have been training for several days in four Ukrainian regions β€” Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Mykolaiv β€” to overcome the consequences of a possible terrorist attack on the ZNPP.” 

Russia could attack the plant, she warned, to turn the momentum of the war in its favor and β€œachieve its military goals,” she added.
