KYIV, UKRAINE - Russia and Ukraine accused each other of new shelling near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on Thursday ahead of a UN Security Council meeting to address concerns over the facility's security.
Ukraine's nuclear agency Energoatom said later that there had been fresh Russian shelling near one of the plant's six reactors that had caused"extensive smoke" and"several radiation sensors are damaged". Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia could cause an incident"even more catastrophic than Chernobyl" - a reference to the nuclear disaster in then Soviet Ukraine in 1986.
"Russia has turned the nuclear station into a battlefield," Zelensky said, addressing a Ukraine donors conference in Copenhagen by video link.
