On August 26, Ukraine again became a victim of massive rocket fire from the occupiers. One of the targets of the attack was the Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP), located near Vyshgorod. The published videos from the scene show how a fire broke out on the territory of the station and destruction took place.
Despite these destructions, the head of the Center for Combating Disinformation assured that there is no threat from a missile attack on the Kyiv HPP. According to him, further destruction or serious damage to the station is impossible.
"A rocket attack on the Kyiv HPP cannot cause critical damage, as was the case with the Kherson region, where the detonation took place from the inside. Russian forces are using this situation to create informational noise and incite panic," the head of the Center noted.
He explained that the Kyiv HPP has structural features that ensure its resistance to such attacks. Rockets, even if they hit certain parts of the station, are not capable of causing catastrophic consequences similar to those that occurred in the Kherson region.
Currently, Ukrainian experts continue to assess the extent of the destruction and take measures to eliminate the consequences of the attack. At the same time, false reports and information manipulations spread by Russian sources are trying to influence the morale of the population and create additional tension.
