Russian Official Says Captured Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant will Power Russian Grid

Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said on Wednesday that the Zaporizhzhia NNP, Europe's largest nuclear power plant, will supply electricity to Russia's power grid if Ukraine is not willing to pay for power from it. During a trip to the region, Khusnullin stated that "If the energy system of Ukraine is ready to receive and pay, then (the plant) will work for Ukraine. If not, then (the plant) will work for Russia," adding "We have a lot of experience of working with nuclear power plants, we have companies in Russia that have this experience."
