Ukraine and Russia have repeatedly blamed each other for attacks on the nuclear power plant, located near the town of Enerhodar, which is now controlled by pro-Russian forces.
Residents of the Zaporizhia region, who live near the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, are worried about the catastrophic consequences of a possible blow to its facilities.
Ukraine and Russia have repeatedly blamed each other for attacks on the nuclear power plant, located near the town of Enerhodar, which is now controlled by pro-Russian forces.
“Of course we’re worried… It’s like sitting on a powder keg,” says Alexander Lifirenko, a resident of Enerhodar.
The head of the local administration said authorities had a plan to deal with a possible “accident” and noted that artillery shells had fallen near the six reactors at the nuclear plant.
“In the event that a reactor is hit, it will not be a local but a global disaster,” Alexander Volga said.
