Russia, Ukraine trade accusations of plots to attack Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant
Each side has since regularly accused the other of shelling around the plant, situated in Ukraine’s south, and risking a major nuclear mishap.
“If detonated, they would not damage the reactors but would create an image of shelling from the Ukrainian side,” the statement on Telegram said. It said the Ukrainian army stood “ready to act under any circumstances.”None of the reactors at the plant is producing electricity.The U.N.’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, has been trying for more than a year to clinch a deal to ensure the plant is demilitarized and reduce the risks of any possible nuclear accident.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, told Ukrainian television that Grossi had proved ineffective in trying to uphold safety at the plant.
