Russia’s Kremlin has dismissed Ukraine’s claim that a Russian drone damaged the containment shelter at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, calling it a “provocation”. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and the UN’s nuclear energy watchdog stated that radiation levels remained normal after the incident.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia does not attack nuclear infrastructure and described the incident as “most likely just another provocation” made by Ukraine. The alleged incident occurred at a time when top US, Ukrainian, and European officials were gathered at the Munich Security Conference to discuss the war in Ukraine.
