Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met Monday with U.N. atomic energy chief Rafael Mariano Grossi in southern Ukraine where they discussed the precarious situation at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
The plant, which is Europe’s biggest, has lost several of its power transmission cables during Russia’s war, and on multiple occasions has had to switch to emergency diesel generators.
He stressed that the situation at the plant remains tense because of the militarization of the area around it and the recent blackout at the plant. It wasn’t the first time that has occurred since Russian forces last year took it over. Video footage of the aftermath showed damaged residential buildings, debris in the streets and vehicles on fire.Russia has denied targeting residential areas even though artillery and rocket strikes have hit Ukrainian apartment buildings and civilian infrastructure daily during the war.
Avdiivka Mayor Vitali Barabash said utility companies are being evacuated from the frontline city, as it “resembles more and more a landscape from post-apocalyptic movies.” The mayor of the occupied city of Melitopol said several explosions shook the city Monday, damaging a building where Russian security forces have been quartered.
