“Ongoing attacks by the Ukrainian military on nuclear power facilities, including the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), would have been impossible without the support of Kiev's Western sponsors”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that attacks would be 'impossible without Western support' is presented as a statement by a Russian diplomat via TASS. While other search results mention shelling, they do not independently corroborate the specific causal link to Western support as a factual certainty, but rather as a political assertion.
