The International Group that monitors nuclear technology and weapons has warned that Ukraine may be on the brink of a major nuclear disaster. A fire has broken out in a nuclear plant under the control of Russia on the border of Ukraine. The fire was apparently caused by an attack by the Ukrainian army. It is being told that the ZNPP was attacked by the Ukrainian army.
On the other hand, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that talks with Ukraine are no longer possible. He said that what is the use of talking to those who attacked nuclear facilities.
The Ukrainian army crossed the Russian border and advanced more than 35 kilometers yesterday. The Russian army was forced to retreat in the Kursk region. This success of the Ukrainian army is being widely appreciated and Russia is apparently refraining from saying anything.
The nuclear plant under the control of Russia within the borders of Ukraine has also been attacked by the Ukrainian army. Experts say that an attack on a nuclear plant is likely to cause massive destruction. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has said that six reactors have been shut down and “cooled”.
Several explosions were heard at a nuclear plant on the border of Ukraine, followed by thick clouds of black smoke. The Zaporizhia nuclear power plant was seized by Russia in February 2024 within days of launching a full-scale war. Since then, this nuclear plant is under the control of Russia.
IAEA chief Rafael Grozzi said in a statement that a very careless bombing could result in a major nuclear disaster.
