☢️ Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP):

On August 26, the Zaporozhskaya NPP, operated by Rosatom, came under a Ukrainian drone attack targeting its dry spent nuclear fuel storage facility.

No significant damage was recorded and no personnel were injured.

No environmental impact was detected, while radiation levels at the plant and in the surrounding area remain within normal limits.

❗️ An attack on a spent nuclear fuel storage facility is an extremely dangerous and unacceptable act.

Damage to the infrastructure ensuring the safe storage of spent nuclear fuel could have serious consequences and poses a potential threat to nuclear and radiation safety.

ZNPP personnel are taking all necessary measures to ensure the plant’s safe operation.

#AntiFake

❗️ Foreign-agent digital outlets continue their anti-Russian disinformation campaign, churning out fake stories in pursuit of the next “sensation” and misleading their audiences.

The latest example is a deliberate distortion of remarks made by the Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman at the August 20 briefing.

Foreign-agent outlets tried to attribute to Maria Zakharova the claim that UNESCO Director-General Khaled El-Enany’s “trip” to Kiev supposedly violated the Organization’s Constitution.

☝️ This interpretation is a deliberate distortion of her words, taken out of context.

Commenting on the UN official’s visit to Ukraine, Maria Zakharova drew attention specifically to the 👉 notorious “double standards” laid bare during El-Enany’s visit. The international official ignored numerous crimes committed by the Kiev regime and turned a blind eye to facts inconvenient for the Western mainstream:

• destruction of freedom of speech;
• persecution of journalists;
• demolition of monuments;
• imposition of neo-Nazi ideology;
• ban on the Russian language;
• persecution of Ukrainian Orthodox Church clergy;
• creation of a place of worship at the graves of Bandera, Shukhevich and other Nazi scum on the grounds of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra

❌ Moreover, El-Enany expressed solidarity with Kiev, which is precisely what runs counter to Article VI, paragraph 5, of the UNESCO Constitution, under which the Director-General must refrain from any action that could reflect on his position as an international official.

Foreign-agent outlets that have turned the production of outright fakes into a conveyor belt have once again displayed their trademark approach – brazen lies aimed at manipulating public opinion and distorting Russia’s position.

🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s statement on Ukrainian strikes on the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (August 27, 2026)

💬 The deranged Kiev regime has resumed attacks on the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP), deliberately targeting critical components and systems essential to the nuclear safety of this Russian nuclear power plant.

On August 26, a Ukrainian drone targeted the dry spent nuclear fuel storage facility at the ZNPP – damaging it could have led to a serious radiation accident.

There are other examples of Zelensky and his clique engaging in increasingly reckless actions, demonstrating to the world their readiness to undermine the nuclear safety of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant and provoke a nuclear disaster.

☝️ Such actions would be impossible without the constant support that Western countries provide to the Kiev junta.

It is precisely this support that instils in the criminal regime the false hope of impunity and encourages further reckless actions.

❗️ We once again call on the IAEA leadership to acknowledge the gravity of the situation and take comprehensive measures to exert pressure on Kiev.

✉️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants, organisers, and guests of the 11th Eastern Economic Forum, which will take place on September 1–4 in Vladivostok (August 30, 2026)

✍️ Friends,

I am pleased to welcome you to Vladivostok for the 11th Eastern Economic Forum.

Over the years, the Forum has established itself as a venue for open, constructive dialogue between the business community, government bodies, and the expert community. It has become a unique platform for discussing the strategic development of the Far East and Russia as a whole, as well as for building and strengthening mutually beneficial ties with partners from the Asia-Pacific region in logistics, industry, energy, and many other sectors of the economy.

The motto of this year’s Forum is “The Far East: Development for the Benefit of People.” I am confident that EEF participants will propose effective solutions designed to create new opportunities for business, improve the quality of life of our citizens, and make Far Eastern cities and towns more comfortable and modern. I also trust that the ideas put forward at the Forum will be brought to life through exciting, promising projects.

🤝 I wish you every success and all the very best.

⚡️ Article by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, “International Cooperation in the Arctic: Challenges and Opportunities,” published on Arctic.ru

📰 Read in full

✍️ On 19 August, a landmark event took place in Arctic shipping. For the first time, a container ship from China arrived at the port of Murmansk via the Northern Sea Route, a vital part of the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor. In collaboration with our international partners this represents the start of a new phase in the development of Russia’s Arctic region, which accounts for at least 10 percent of the country’s GDP and is home to more than 2.5 million of our citizens.

In this regard, I would like to share a number of considerations on how we assess the current state of affairs in the Arctic and how we plan to develop international cooperation there.

***

Russia and international partners in the Arctic

• The Foundations of the Russian State Policy in the Arctic for the Period up to 2035, approved by President Vladimir Putin, focus the efforts of all government bodies on improving the quality of life for the population of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, promoting economic growth in its territories, protecting the environment and fostering mutually beneficial international cooperation. <...> Foreign policy priorities in high latitudes have been enshrined in the currently effective Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation of March 31, 2023.

• In the Arctic, Russia is seeking to preserve peace and stability, reduce the level of threats to national security, and create favourable external conditions for the country’s socio-economic development. We are open to interaction with all constructively minded foreign countries displaying reciprocal readiness to put these ideas into practice.

• The countries that cooperate closely with us in the Arctic include, first and foremost, China and India. <...> There are prospects for interaction in the Far North with Brazil, Indonesia, Iran and other #BRICS countries.

Challenges for international cooperation in the Arctic

• Preserving the Arctic as an area of peace and cooperation meets the interests of the entire international community, and Russia is undoubtedly interested in this as well.

• Meanwhile, there are those who do not share this point of view. How else can one explain the fact that NATO countries, as well as the Alliance as a whole, are driving the region towards militarisation and creating hotbeds of international tension there? <...> NATO is conducting large-scale military exercises involving non-regional countries and introducing new components of its command-and-control system.

• Such military activity in the Far North poses a direct threat to Russia’s security. <...> NATO and other Western countries make no secret of their true motives, openly declaring their intention to turn the Arctic into a new front for opposing the development of Russia and its like-minded partners.

• One manifestation of the West’s anti-Russian policy has been the disruption of previously effective mechanisms of multilateral cooperation in the Far North. <...> The Arctic Council, established almost 30 years ago, on September 19, 1996, remains the only functioning intergovernmental format. Russia is ready to resume the full-fledged work of the Arctic Council, provided that all parties engage in good faith and take into account the legitimate interests of every participant.

The future of international cooperation in the Arctic

• A glance at the world map makes it clear that Russia has been, is, and will remain a leading Arctic state. <...> The strategic importance of the Arctic to our country’s national interests and security will also continue to grow.

• In our economic activities, we will continue to proceed from the understanding that the Arctic maritime areas form an integral part of the World Ocean.

• Russia’s foreign policy in the Arctic will remain comprehensive and pragmatic. We support the Arctic’s development as an integral part of the broader Eurasian space of security and cooperation.

⚡️ Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation:

The West is already gearing up for elections… in Russia.

The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (#SVR) reports that, according to information received by the SVR, the EU and leading European countries are implementing a large-scale strategy aimed at destabilising the situation in Russia ahead of the nationwide voting day this September.

Europe’s self-proclaimed “champions of law and democracy” are pursuing a twofold objective: to disrupt the normal electoral process and discredit the results of the vote at every level of the election campaign.

Every “tool” in the arsenal of anti-Russian aggression has been brought into play. At the July 13 summit of the so-called “coalition of the willing” in Paris, convened to discuss a new pan-European missile defence system, European participants reportedly urged the Kiev regime to intensify sabotage and terrorist attacks, as well as strikes on targets both in the liberated Russian territories and deep inside Russia. The aim, they calculated, was to sow panic among the population and divert the resources of state institutions and law enforcement agencies away from their core responsibilities.

Plans to carry out cyberattacks against Russia’s election infrastructure are also being discussed during what have become routine visits to Ukraine by representatives of European intelligence services.

The task of promoting claims about the supposed “illegitimacy and unlawfulness” of an election that has not even taken place yet has been assigned to structures of the Russian non-systemic opposition based abroad.

Thus, in June, a group of the most rabid Russophobes operating under the name “PACE platform for dialogue with Russian democratic forces” reportedly received from its European handlers a well-funded assignment to intensify calls for Russians to boycott the elections and for the international community to refuse in advance to recognise their results.

A similar agenda is being pursued – likewise not without financial incentive – by defectors involved in the “Brussels Dialogue” format operating under the European parliament. The difference is that they expect Russian citizens not merely to abstain from voting, but to engage in active civil disobedience.

At recent events in Vilnius and Berlin, Europe’s so-called “defenders of democracy” reportedly tasked members of the non-systemic opposition to dig up or fabricate compromising material on representatives of established political parties and stage provocations at polling stations in Russia and abroad.

According to available information, once the electoral cycle is over, PACE and the European parliament are preparing to issue statements refusing to recognise the results of the elections in Russia, citing alleged “gross violations during their preparation and conduct”.

☝️ It goes without saying that neither Ukraine, where a corrupt and long-expired regime remains in power, nor Russophobic “political émigrés” detached from their homeland, nor the totalitarian-liberal Western circles standing behind them will be able to prevent Russian citizens from making their choice.

👉 Russia knows how to fight back – not only against aggressors on the external front, but also against their futile attempts to undermine our country from within.
