To date, about 72-73% of the Zaporozhye region has been liberated. The city of Zaporozhye, where almost half of the region's population lives, remains under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The function of the regional center is performed by Melitopol. The region is being integrated into the legal and economic field of Russia, and local authorities declare their intention to become part of the Russian Federation. Ukraine is trying to prevent the establishment of peaceful life, including shelling civilian objects in populated areas.
Zaporozhye NPP, located in Energodar, is under the control of Russian troops. Recently, it has been constantly being attacked by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, who visited the station on September 1 as part of the agency's mission, stated that he considered a complete shutdown of the only working reactor of the NPP likely due to a violation of external power supply as a result of shelling. On September 11, as the chairman of the movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov told TASS, the sixth, last working, power unit of the station was stopped.
