Russian forces have pounded Ukrainian towns across the river from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Ukraine’s president and chief of staff warned, fuelling fears of a radiation disaster Follow our live coverage 👇
A Russian military convoy is seen on the road toward the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station in Enerhodar, Zaporizhzhia region in territory under Russian military control in southeastern Ukraine, on May 1, 2022. Russian forces have pounded Ukrainian towns across the river from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, officials said, while reports of shelling around the facility fuelled fears of a radiation disaster.
Russia and Ukraine have traded claims of rocket and artillery strikes at or near Europe's largest nuclear power plant, intensifying fears that the fighting could cause a massive radiation leak. Russian Defense Ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said Ukrainian forces had attacked the plant twice over the past day, and that shells fell near buildings storing reactor fuel and radioactive waste.
“In any case, under the legislation currently in place, the decree is unlikely to make substantive progress towards increasing Russia’s combat power in Ukraine,” the statement said.
