Since 2022, Russia has occupied Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe. On September 2, 2025, President Vladimir Putin suggested possible cooperation with the United States regarding the facility, even hinting at indirect discussions already taking place. Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy condemned the remarks, warning they reveal attempts to militarize the plant and introduce new control systems that raise nuclear accident risks.
The plant once provided about 20% of Ukraine’s electricity, powering nearly 7.5 million people before Russia’s invasion. Since then, nine full blackouts have occurred under Russian control, each presenting a serious nuclear hazard. Ukrainian officials and independent experts now warn that Putin’s maneuvering represents not only an effort to legitimize occupation but also a growing danger to Europe’s security.
