Russian troops started using Zaporizhzhia NPP to train FPV drone pilots. They train by shelling Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk region, according to Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation.
“The Russians are using the ZNPP as a training ground for FPV drone pilots,” he said.
Moreover, according to Kovalenko, these pilots are terrorizing Nikopol with shelling, using the Ukrainian city with civilians as a training ground.
“Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is a cover for Russia,” he states.
Russian shelling of Nikopol
Russian troops occupied the city of Enerhodar, Zaporizhzhia region, during a large-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. After that, the Russian occupiers turned the ZNPP into a military facility where they accumulated equipment and manpower.

In turn, the city of Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk region, located on the banks of the Dnipro River, is constantly under Russian attacks, who are shelling the city from the temporarily occupied Enerhodar.
For example, on September 21, in Nikopol, Russians attacked a car carrying a family with children with a drone. A mother and 12-year-old daughter were killed, and a father and 4-year-old daughter were injured.
