Zelensky Accuses Russia of Plotting ‘Terrorist Act’ at Nuclear Plant
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of plotting a “terrorist act” at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).
Zelensky made the accusations during a video address that was shared on social media Thursday.
In his remarks, he said Ukrainian intelligence had received information that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces could release radiation at the Ukrainian plant, which is Europe’s largest atomic power station.
Soon after Putin ordered his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, his military took control of the nuclear complex and has occupied it ever since.
Concerns about ZNPP’s safety have continued throughout the war, and the destruction of the dam at Nova Kakhovka earlier this month increased worries about nuclear risks since the dam’s reservoir supplies cooling waters for the Zaporizhzhia plant.
