🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on Ukrainian attacks against the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant on May 30-31 (June 1, 2026)

💬 Kiev no longer even seems to be trying to hide its criminal, terrorist nature.

On May 30, the Ukrainian armed forces used a UAV to attack the turbine hall of Unit 6 at the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP), and on May 31 – the plant’s transport workshop.

☝️ It was only by a miracle that casualties and critical damage to ZNPP infrastructure were avoided.

These reckless actions once again clearly demonstrate that the Ukrainian armed forces are ready to resort to the most desperate steps, including those aimed at undermining the nuclear safety and security of Europe’s largest NPP.

We are convinced that Kiev, as well as its American and European handlers, are fully aware of the catastrophic consequences such provocations could have for the entire world. Yet this is far from the first time the Kiev regime has shown utter disregard for human lives.

The primary responsibility for what is happening lies precisely with Ukraine’s Western puppeteers, who continue to pump Kiev with more and more batches and types of weapons. We hope that even in the West they will eventually realise that, by striking nuclear facilities with supplied weapons, Kiev is acting with the recklessness of an “ape with a grenade“, creating threats for its own sponsors as well.

We expect the IAEA Secretariat and personally Director General Rafael Grossi to give Kiev’s actions a fair and deserved assessment.

The threats deliberately created by the Zelensky regime, which, in its anti-Russian frenzy, is directly targeting a Russian NPP, cannot be ignored.

The IAEA leadership will have to call things by their proper names. Otherwise, all its appeals to ensure an appropriate level of nuclear safety and security, as well as compliance with any “principles” and “points” declared by Rafael Grossi, will lose any basis.

❗️ For our part, we will continue to do everything possible to maintain the safe operation of the ZNPP.

🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question regarding the Kiev regime’s attacks in the Black Sea (June 2, 2026)
 
Question: On the evening of May 28, a Turkish vessel, sailing under the flag of Vanuatu and carrying dry cargo from Odessa to Turkiye, was attacked by a drone. According to the Ukrainian navy, the vessel was attacked by a Russian UAV. Is this true? If so, what implications could this incident have for Russian-Turkish relations?


💬 Maria Zakharova: We are concerned by the significant escalation of terrorist activity by the Kiev regime in the Black Sea, which is worsening conditions and increasing risks for civilian shipping.

☝️ We remain convinced that eliminating all security threats in the region is indispensable to any comprehensive settlement of the crisis surrounding Ukraine. What we are seeing now is a familiar playbook: Ukrainian militants launch thug-like attacks on vessels with USVs or UAVs – and then try to blame Russia.

We have taken note of yet another provocation aimed at destabilising the Black Sea region – namely, the attack on tankers by Ukrainian naval drones on May 28 near the Turkish coast and the Bosphorus Strait.

These actions, directed against civilian commercial vessels, have once again shown that the Kiev junta has complete disregard for the principles and norms of international law, while routinely denying any involvement in such incidents.

In our view, these provocations – which are nothing short of terrorist acts – must be subjected to a thorough and impartial investigation. They also deserve a clear public response and condemnation from all coastal states, which bear a special responsibility for ensuring the safety of navigation in the Black Sea.

❗️ Naturally, both the organisers and the perpetrators of these lawless attacks must be held accountable.

We reaffirm our readiness to work closely with Ankara in the interests of finding the best ways to stabilise the Black Sea region and exert effective influence on Kiev.

⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:

On June 2, a delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (#ICRC), together with the leadership of the Lugansk Red Cross (#LRC), visited the site of the Ukrainian attack on a student dormitory in Starobelsk, Lugansk People’s Republic.

The ICRC delegates were able to thoroughly examine the site of the tragedy. They were granted access to the rooms of the students killed and wounded in the destroyed dormitory, as well as to classrooms and other educational facilities in the academic building of the Starobelsk branch of Lugansk Pedagogical University and the premises of Starobelsk College.

Representatives of the ICRC and the LRC also met with witnesses to the crime.

In conversations with students and local residents, representatives of the international organisation received confirmation that a series of strikes had hit the premises of educational institutions where students and teachers were present, killing 21 young people and wounding more than 40 civilians.

The delegates paid tribute to the victims at the “wall of grief” memorial created by Starobelsk residents – a place where hundreds of flowers are laid every day and where the grieving parents and loved ones of the students killed in the attack continue to gather.

The ICRC and LRC delegates also visited the Lugansk Republican Hospital, where seven wounded students had been taken. Four of them remain there, one in extremely serious condition. Two young people have been transferred to a federal clinic in Moscow. Psychologists are working with all the wounded young people.

At the end of the visit, the ICRC and LRC delegates held a meeting with the Human Rights Commissioner of the Lugansk People’s Republic, who provided detailed explanations regarding the circumstances in which the crime against civilians in Starobelsk was committed.

⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:

💬 On the eve of International Children’s Day, Ukrainian fiends killed 3 and wounded 8 minors. Over the past week, the neo-Nazis killed a total of 35 civilians.

The most tragic consequences were recorded in the DPR and the Kherson Region, where targeted drone strikes killed both children and adult civilians.

Kiev militants deliberately escalated the situation, increasing the number of strikes – primarily drone attacks – against civilian facilities, key civilian roads, energy and industrial infrastructure.

Using mainly UAVs, militants of the Ukrainian armed groups carried out remote mining of civilian sites and frequently visited public areas, and planted explosive devices inside populated localities.

Cases were recorded of remote mining on sections of the Novorossiya federal motorway, aimed at blocking supplies to the civilian population of these regions.

Ukrainian Nazis have openly moved on to acts of nuclear terrorism. The Zaporozhskaya NPP (#ZNPP) came under targeted attacks. A Ukrainian kamikaze drone struck the machine hall building of power unit 6. The impact was recorded just 10 metres from the station’s reactor compartment.

The ZNPP transport workshop also came under attack. Direct hits completely destroyed six passenger buses and two GAZelle vehicles used to transport duty shifts.

On May 25-31, shelling by Ukrainian neo-Nazis left 217 civilians killed or wounded: 182 people were injured, including 8 children, and 35 were killed, including 3 minors.

In total, Ukrainian militants fired at least 3,754 munitions at civilian sites on Russian territory.

⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:

💬 Twelve years ago, on June 2, 2014, a point of no return was reached for hundreds of thousands of LPR residents – from peace to war.

For many millions more, it became a moment of truth: Kiev’s airstrike on Lugansk exposed the bloodstained grin of the coup-born regime and its handlers.

That day, Kiev began bombing a peaceful city – one that had neither air defence nor an air force of its own.

☝️ Keep this in mind when reading Zelensky’s tearful messages to Trump.

⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:

On June 3, at approximately 3:40 am, a regular passenger bus travelling from Moscow to Simferopol was struck by a Ukrainian fixed-wing UAV while passing through the centre of Yenakiyevo in the DPR.

There were 46 civilians in the bus – peacefully the transport continue on its route. The strike killed 8 civilians on the spot and wounded 11 others, including a 10-year-old child.

❗️ An attack on a civilian passenger bus can only be regarded as a deliberate terrorist act with multiple casualties, aimed at killing and intimidating the civilian population.

The neo-Nazis are using Western military support to paralyse civilian transport links and create unbearable living conditions for peaceful people.

All substantive details proving the criminal actions of the Nazis will be collected and transmitted to our representatives at international platforms.

The heinous attacks by Kiev’s unhinged terrorist regime demand not only international condemnation, but also firm practical measures to bring the criminals to justice under wartime conditions.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on the shelling by the Ukrainian militants of a regular passenger bus in the DPR on June 3, 2026 (June 3, 2026)

The Kiev regime has once again exposed its inhuman neo-Nazi nature by committing yet another cynical and bloody crime.

In the early hours of June 3, a regular Moscow-Simferopol passenger bus was shelled in the centre of the Yenakiyevo municipal district in the DPR. The bus burned out completely.

Seven people were killed, while eleven others, including one child, sustained injuries of varying severity.

❗️ We strongly condemn this terrorist act.

We express our sincere and deepest condolences to the families of those killed and wish the injured a speedy recovery.

The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case into the terrorist attack. The details of the crime, as well as all those involved, are being established.

It is noteworthy that, after the shelling, Ukrainian reconnaissance drones were spotted in the skies above the site of the tragedy, apparently documenting the aftermath of the war crime committed.

The Kiev regime, suffering defeat on the battlefield, is seeking to vent its impotent rage on defenceless civilians. This is exactly how the German Nazi invaders and their Bandera accomplices acted more than 80 years ago as they fled the occupied territories, sensing their inevitable defeat.

❗️ We call on all responsible governments, relevant international organisations and independent media to firmly condemn the brutal terrorist attack in Yenakiyevo.

Silence over this crime, like its other heinous atrocities, amounts to approval of the Zelensky regime’s misanthropic policy.

Our attention was drawn to an article by Will Swanton, published in The Australian on 5 June, which contains a number of hostile anti-Russian remarks and seeks to politicise sport in pursuit of a narrow political agenda.

Commenting on Mirra Andreeva’s victory in the French Open semi-final, the author deliberately emphasised her Russian origin, adding that “we dislike her nation for the mass slaughter of innocents”. Doesn’t expressing dislike for an entire nation sound racist?

As for the “mass slaughter of innocents”, does Mr Swanton possess enough decency and journalistic integrity to tell his readers the truth about the bloody terrorist attack carried out by the neo-Nazi Kiev regime against a college in Starobelsk on 22 May, which claimed the lives of 18 young women and three young men? Would he dare to say that he dislikes the Ukrainian nation because of this, particularly given the long list of crimes against the civilian population committed by the Zelensky’s junta?

🕯️The portraits of the students are currently on display in the public reception area of the Consular Section of the Russian Embassy in Australia. Our thoughts remain with the innocent victims and their families.
