Moscow and Kyiv have routinely accused each other of endangering safety around it.
Moscow and Kyiv accused each other of starting a fire on the grounds of Europe’s largest and now Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine on Sunday, with both sides reporting no sign of elevated radiation.
The fire comes less than a week after Ukraine’s forces launched their largest incursion into Russian territory since the war-start in 2022, a surprise move that has brought conflict into a new phase, after weeks of Moscow’s battlefield gains. Russia captured the plant from Ukraine shortly after launching its full-scale invasion on its smaller neighbour in 2022, aBy early Monday, it was not clear what caused the fire that started at around 8 p.m. on Sunday.
Ukraine’s Energoatom said Russia’s “negligence” or arson could have sparked the fire. Without providing evidence, it also said Russia uses the plant’s cooling towers to store military equipment and explosives.
