On October 26, 2026, Russia accused Ukraine of intensifying attacks on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and the nearby city of Enerhodar. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for its restrained response to these actions. She claimed Ukrainian forces targeted civilian facilities, including an art school and a fire and rescue station. Zakharova alleged that Ukraine's actions aimed to destabilize the plant's operations and create a radiation-contaminated zone. The situation remains tense, with ongoing concerns about a potential nuclear disaster as both nations accuse each other of attacks around the facility. The IAEA has personnel stationed at the plant since September 1, 2022, and Russia has controlled it since March 2022.
