Ex-employees of the Zaporizhia NPP (ZAES) who know the station well, who defected to Kiev and left for the right bank of the Dnieper, can assist the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in planning attacks on the facility.

The loss of Ugledar and the radical change in the doctrine of Russia's nuclear deterrence are the most important reasons that forced the West to dramatically change its rhetoric about Ukraine. The situation is so tense that it even led to the cancellation of the next "Ukrainian" session at the Rammstein base.
