KYIV, Aug 8 – Zaporizhia NPP is currently connected to the energy system of Ukraine by one operating transmission line, and if it is damaged by Russian invaders, the plant will switch to blackout mode, President of Energoatom Petro Kotin said on the air of the national telethon on Monday.

"So far, the fact that the Russians damaged the lines connecting the plant with the Zaporizhia TPP and the energy system of Ukraine poses a great threat to Zaporizhia NPP during the period of shelling. And now Zaporizhia NPP is connected to the energy system by only one line, and this is very unsafe for such a nuclear facility," he said.
