Zelensky warns: Extremely critical situation at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned today that the situation at the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant had become critical, with Russian bombing preventing the restoration of energy needed to cool the reactors.

Zelensky, speaking in his daily video address, said one of the diesel generators providing emergency power was no longer working, seven days after external power lines were cut.

"This is the seventh day. There has never been such an emergency situation at the Zaporizhia power plant before. The situation is critical. Russian bombing has disconnected the power plant from the power grid," Zelensky said.

The Zaporizhzhia plant, the largest in Europe with six reactors, was occupied by Russian troops in the first weeks of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and each side regularly accuses the other of attacks that endanger nuclear safety.

The plant is not currently generating electricity, but needs power to ensure the fuel in the reactors remains cool and does not melt. It was the 10th time since the start of the conflict that the power plant has been disconnected from the grid./CNA
