Russia refuses to give up massive Ukrainian nuclear plant to Trump or anyone else

KIEV. Russia has been occupying Europe's largest nuclear power plant for three years. Now the United States under Donald Trump wants to take it over – plus Ukraine's other reactors. Suddenly, Ukraine is forced to deal with not just one but two superpowers behaving like colonial masters. "The nuclear power plant is ours," reminds Ukrainian President Zelensky.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine received reports of damage to a diesel tank at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP.

Moscow Says Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Part of Russia – Rules Out Return to Ukraine

Russia has entirely ruled out the return or transfer of control to Ukraine or any other states of the plant because it views the facility as part of its own nuclear sector.

The Kremlin does not intend to hand over control of Europe's largest nuclear power plant to Trump, Ukraine or any other nation. The Russian Foreign Ministry has made it clear that it will not give up and excludes any joint operation of it, writes POLITICO.
