Russia accused of using nuclear power plant to stockpile weapons
Ukraine’s atomic energy agency has accused Russia of using Europe’s largest nuclear power plant to store weapons and shell the surrounding regions of Nikopol and Dnipro, which were hit on Saturday.
Petro Kotin, president of Ukrainian nuclear agency Energoatom, called the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant “extremely tense”, with up to 500 Russian soldiers controlling it, Agence France-Presse reports.
The plant in south-east Ukraine has been under Russian control since the early weeks of Moscow’s invasion but is still operated by Ukrainian staff.
Russian missiles struck residential buildings in the city of Nikopol on Saturday, killing two people, said the Dnipro regional governor, Valentin Reznichenko.
