Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga said Russia had deliberately cut off external power to the Zaporizhia NPP it controls and was preparing to connect it to its own power grid, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.

The nuclear power plant, which is also the largest in Europe, has been without external power for more than a week. It is currently being cooled by emergency diesel generators.
