'Putin tried to commit a new level of aggression,' Ivan Fedorov, the mayor of Ukraine's occupied southern city of Melitopol, told Newsweek.
"Putin tried to commit a new level of aggression. But I know that we need to win," he said."Of course, every day we can expect from terrorists—Putin—something new, but it can't stop us from winning this war."
"All cooling systems of the nuclear power plant use the Dnieper river and of course, there is not enough water in the Dnieper—it's very dangerous," Fedorov said."It's important to understand that the nuclear power station has been controlled by occupants for a long period, and nobody knows the truth or what the situation is like now there. Everybody knows that the Russian [forces] are crazy and, without any thinking, they will try to do [things] as bad as possible.
Russian forces then targeted Ukraine's critical infrastructure from October 2022 in retaliation for an attack on the Kerch bridge. This links the annexed Crimea peninsula to Russia. Kyiv denied responsibility.
