Amidst Ukraine's urgent need for additional power sources following the closure of the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, negotiations are underway for a groundbreaking deal between Ukraine and Bulgaria. Ukraine aims to secure the purchase of two nuclear reactors from Bulgaria to bolster its energy capacity, with hopes of finalizing the agreement as early as June.

They are deliberately damaging it to divert electricity production, warned Ukraine's state nuclear agency Energoatom.
Zaporozhye is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, and Russia captured it at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.

"They are planning to damage all lines from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant"

Russian forces occupying the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southeast Ukraine are preparing to connect to Crimea, annexed by Moscow in 2014, and are damaging it by reorienting its electricity production, Ukrainian operator Energoatom warned Tuesday.

Russia is using Europe's largest nuclear power plant as a base to store weapons including "missile systems" and shell the surrounding areas of Ukraine, an official with Kyiv's nuclear agency has said.
