Europe's largest nuclear power station has been controlled by Russian forces since early March.

Moscow's defence ministry accused Ukrainian forces of shelling the plant complex three times in the last 24 hours."A total of 17 shells were fired, four of which hit the roof of Special Building No. 1, where 168 assemblies of U.S. Westinghouse nuclear fuel are stored," the Russian defence ministry said in a statement.

Energoatom's statement on Saturday said its staff at the plant had come under "increased pressure" ahead of the likely visit. All three are on the approach to the larger town of Bakhmut, an important strategic outpost for Ukraine due to its size and road links.

Canadians spend 1.4 billion a year to be told logic doesnt exist Russia bombs themselves. Someone needs to get their head measured!!!!!

A nuke power plant bombed by CBC's hero Zelensky. As they rant about the environment. They want us all to think Russians and Eastern Ukranians would actually bomb themselves. Void of logic. As they write feel good stories for AZOV NAZIS in a DPR prison for war crimes.

I hope that it will not take a disaster & a 'get out of UN' for World to tell Russia what it is doing is wrong!! If Pres Putin gets what he wants he will do same thing to any country in Eastern Hemisphere! Just cause he can! Larger Russian army because hundreds of soldiers DEAD!

If Russia has controlled the plant for months - logic and common sense indicates that any shelling of that plant is being done by the UA, and any risk is actually created by the UA. Kindly take a common sense approach to your reporting.

Ukrainian Nazism, another word for insanity.

Wonder if those M777's Freeland gave the neo-Nazis are what they're shelling the joint with? Unintended consequences? Nah!

Darn Russians are shelling themselves! Putin you monster!!!

End all covid restrictions and mandates in Canada

Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant temporarily cut off from power grid | CBC NewsThe Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in the middle of the fighting in Ukraine was temporarily knocked offline Thursday because of fire damage to a transmission line, causing a blackout across the region and heightening fears of a catastrophe in a country still haunted by the Chernobyl disaster. Do we keep cheering on Ukraine even if they bomb a nuclear power plant because anything the do is ok like Israel and Saudi Arabia now? Just trying to keep score at home! Perhaps revisit the videos of people who survived nuclear bombs...the agony and long term effects. This is how precarious Putin has made things. Nazissm has no respect for human lives. MSM support for Ukrainian Nazis has created this mess.
