CPD: Message about the failure at the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant - a Russian fake.

The Center for Countering Disinformation stated that the information about the emergency failure at the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant, which could lead to a catastrophe, is a fake. According to them, disinformation is being spread in the media, which is actively retransmitted by Kremlin propaganda.

After verifying the information, NAEC 'Energoatom' confirmed that the information about a hidden emergency failure at the nuclear power plant is not true. They confirmed that the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant is operating in a normal mode, as confirmed by the IAEA. It is also noted that all nuclear facilities in Ukraine are under constant control of inspectors, who regularly report on the situation at the stations.

Russian propaganda uses disinformation to discredit Ukrainian energy security

The Center for Countering Disinformation also emphasized that statements about concealing information about emergencies at nuclear power plants have no basis. This indicates attempts by Russian propaganda to discredit Ukrainian energy security and create panic among the population.

The importance of verifying the reliability of information has been confirmed by the case of spreading disinformation about the emergency failure at the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant in July 2021. Official sources refuted this information, emphasizing the threat of disinformation and the need to verify it before spreading.
