LIVE UPDATES: Zaporozhye NPP Working as Usual After More Shelling By Ukrainian Troops - Authorities

05:59 GMT 14.08.2022 (Updated: 17:15 GMT 12.04.2023)

On February 24, Russia launched a special military operation to demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine after the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics asked Moscow to help defend themselves against intensifying attacks by Kiev's forces.

As the Russian army and allied forces of Donetsk and Lugansk continue advancing in Ukraine, the situation remains tense in areas adjacent to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant which is the largest in Europe.

Ukrainian forces have been repeatedly shelling areas surrounding the NPP, including the local thermal power plant and the city of Energodar. The Zaporozhye NPP has been under Russian control since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine.

Moscow Hopes US Aware of Impact of Declaring Russia State Sponsor of Terrorism

Moscow hopes that the United States understands that relations between the two countries can be forgotten if US Congress declares Russia a "state sponsor of terrorism," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday.

"If they have not forgotten everything yet, then they probably understand. We have talked about this and not only orally. We have also posted these comments in writing and even translated them into English. Everything has been repeatedly stated,” Zakharova told a Russian TV show, when asked whether Washington understands that "relations can be forgotten" in the event of such a step.

Finnish Gov't to Discuss Restricting Russian Tourist Flows on Tuesday - Reports

The Finnish government will consider limiting entry into the county by Russian tourists at a private meeting on Tuesday, Finnish state-owned broadcaster YLE reported.

The foreign ministry has explored different mechanisms of restricting access of Russian tourists to Finland, one of which includes hampering and complicating visa application process. The government is expected to consider all possible steps at a private session on Tuesday evening, according to the broadcaster.

On Saturday, Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto said that Finland mulls cutting the number of days when Schengen tourist visa applications are accepted in Finnish consulates and visa centers in Russia as a way to limit the number of tourists amid concerns of "appropriateness" of their presence due to Russia's military operation in Ukraine.

Other EU countries, including the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Poland and the Netherlands, have also limited the issuance of Schengen visas to Russian citizens citing the same reason.

Gazprom Pumps 40.9Mln Cubic Meters of Gas for Transit Through Ukraine's Sudzha Station

Russian energy giant Gazprom supplied 40.9 million cubic meters of gas to the Sudzha entry point on Sunday for further transit to Europe, as verified by Ukraine, Gazprom spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov said.

"Gazprom is supplying Russian gas for transit through the Ukrainian territory in the amount confirmed by the Ukrainian side through the Sudzha station — 40.9 million cubic meters, as of August 14. The application for the Sokhranovka station was rejected," Kupriyanov told journalists.

Sudzha remains the only station transiting Russian gas to Europe via Ukraine after Kiev refused to continue admitting fuel at another station, Sokhranovka, on May 11. The Ukrainian regulator said the closure was the result of Sokhranovka going under the control of Russian armed forces in the Lugansk People's Republic.

Gazprom later said that it was technically impossible to transfer all volumes of gas via the Sudzha station, however, the company continues to deliver gas to European customers according to contractual obligations and submitted requests.

Zaporozhye NPP Working as Usual After More Shelling by Ukrainian Troops - Authorities

The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant (NPP) is operating normally after yet another shelling by Ukrainian troops, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the regional military-civil administration, said.

On Saturday, the Ukrainian armed forces shelled the city of Energodar and the Zaporozhye NPP, which has been under the control of the Russian military since March. The Zaporozhye thermal power station was also targeted by Ukrainian troops.

"Some of the shells fell between the thermal power plant and the nuclear power plant, and some - on the thermal power plant. The nuclear power plant itself was not damaged and is operating normally. The air defense of the Russian army once again protected the site from the nuclear threat, which is being constantly provoked by Ukrainian nationalists," Rogov said.

On Friday, Rogov said that the Zaporozhye NPP could be mothballed if Ukrainian troops continue to shell its territory and infrastructure.
