The head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog Rafael Grossi is expressing growing anxiety about the safety of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, after the governor of the Russia-occupied area ordered the evacuation of a town where most plant staff live amid ongoing attacks in the area.
The settlements affected are about 50 to 70 kilometers from the front line of fighting between Ukraine and Russia, and Balitsky said that Ukraine had intensified attacks on the area in the past several days. Petro Andryushchenko claimed that more and more vehicles were being spotted crossing the city “every day.”
According to an update posted on Facebook, the General Staff said the first residents evacuated were those who took Russian citizenship following the capture of the town by Moscow early in the war.
