Russia has been systemically shelling Enehodar, a town home to most Zaporizhia NPP staff, to intimidate the local population and conceal own “nuclear” crimes.

That’s according to Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office.

“Cynical and systematic shelling of Energodar occupied by RF – specially organized bloody show, the purpose of which is to intimidate local civilians, blaming the Ukrainian Armed Forces and mask their ‘nuclear’ crimes,” Podolyak tweeted.
