Nuclear fears rise as Russian forces occupy Ukrainian power plant
- The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine is currently occupied by Russian forces, posing a threat of a new nuclear catastrophe.
- The plant has been attacked multiple times since the invasion, and there are reports of Russian soldiers falling ill after digging trenches in the contaminated earth.
- The International Atomic Energy Agency Director General is "deeply concerned about the situation at the plant."
- Any attacks on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant could prompt a disaster.
- The only way to secure the ZNPP is to de-occupy Enerhodar and completely free the nuclear power plant from the presence of the Russian military.
