Vladimir Rogov, a member of the pivotal council governing the Zaporozhye regional administration, asserted that the Ukrainian landing force in the Energodar area was aimed at the Zaporozhye nuclear power facility. This claim was reported by TASS, the Russian news agency, and is echoed in regional security briefings. Rogov contends that the coastal area near Energodar remained under the control of allied forces while attempts were made to seize a foothold. He described the operation as part of a broader effort to test the perimeter and identify vulnerabilities around the riverfronts that could support a larger mission connected to the nuclear site.
