Only a very dumb person can keep a claim that Ukraine shelled their NPP. Russia has no problems showing off their crimes.

Quote from Kotin: "Rosatom staff [Rosatom is a Russian state nuclear energy corporation which is attempting to control the Russian-occupied ZNPP - ed.] are implementing a special procedure that will allow them to reconnect the ZNPP to Crimea.
One aspect of this procedure involves tampering with the power lines connecting the ZNPP with Ukraine’s power grid.
In order to ensure that the power produced at the ZNPP is relayed to Crimea, the entirety of southern Ukraine has to be disconnected [from the ZNPP], including the [Russian-] occupied territories in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.
This is spelled out in the procedure. Then they will connect those oblasts to the substation in Dzhankoi, then to the Kakhovka substation, and then they will reconnect the ZNPP.
Following this procedure, it will be impossible to connect it [the ZNPP - ed.] to the Ukrainian power grid, it will be hooked up to the Russian frequency.
That’s what their plan consists of, and they’ve
started to implement it."
More details: Kotin added that as part of the plan,
Russians have damaged three power lines [connecting the ZNPP to the Ukrainian power grid - ed.] over the course of the past three days. The power station is currently only supplying electricity to the Ukrainian grid via one power line.
