Russian Attack On Ukraine Nuclear Plants

Russia accused the West on Friday of sponsoring "nuclear terrorism" after authorities said a Ukrainian drone had struck the western Russian town of Kurchatov, where a nuclear power station similar to the ill-fated Chernobyl plant is located.

All three nuclear power plants still under Ukrainian control have reconnected to the electricity grid, Ukraine's energy ministry said.

A powerful Russian missile exploded just over 900 feet from a nuclear power plant in Ukraine's southern Mykolaiv region early on Monday, Ukrainian military staff said on Twitter and shared a video of the explosion.

Ukraine's military said it had carried out strikes against Russian positions in the region around the southern town of Enerhodar on Friday, near a nuclear power plant where U.N. experts are working.

Twelve Ukrainians, including three children, were wounded Saturday after Russian forces attacked an apartment block and several houses in the city of Voznesensk, near a key nuclear plant, prosecutors said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday urged the international community to "react immediately" to force Russian forces to leave the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant targeted by shelling in recent days.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Monday for international inspectors to be given access to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant after Ukraine and Russia traded accusations over the shelling of Europe's largest atomic plant at the weekend.

Ukraine's state-run nuclear power operator Energoatom said a Russian cruise missile few "critically low" on Sunday morning over a major nuclear power plant.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Western sanctions were akin to war as his forces pressed their assault on Ukraine on Saturday for a 10th day and the IMF warned that the conflict would have a "severe impact" on the global economy.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the biggest in Europe by capacity, has been seized Russian troops, according to the regional state administration. The plant was attacked by Russia earlier on Friday.

It is very difficult to believe a Russian attack on Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was not deliberate, British Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab said on Friday.

Europe's largest nuclear power plant in eastern Ukraine came under attack from Russian shelling early Friday, Ukrainian officials said, raising the stakes in Vladimir Putin's invasion as his forces bombarded cities across the nation.

Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba called on Russian troops to stop attacking Europe's largest nuclear power plant on Friday after a fire broke out.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the largest of its kind in Europe, was on fire early morning today after an attack by Russian troops, the mayor of the nearby town of Energodar said.

Russian forces have seized Europe's biggest nuclear power plant in Ukraine that caught fire overnight during clashes. Russia's defence ministry has blamed the attack at the site on Ukrainian saboteurs, calling it a monstrous provocation.
