Tap title to read story
Satellite imagery suggests Russia deliberately sabotaged the sole remaining power line to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, contradicting claims of Ukrainian shelling. Experts found no evidence of shelling damage, deeming repairs feasible. The plant has been without external power for eight days, relying on diesel generators. Ukraine suggests Russia aims to create a crisis to solidify control, potentially integrating the plant into the Russian grid. This situation raises serious nuclear safety concerns, with a risk of meltdown if cooling systems fail.
