The Kremlin said today, Thursday, that there is an ongoing threat of “provocations” from the Ukrainian side regarding the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said inspectors were recently at the site to check security at the plant, which is controlled by Russian forces but is close to the front lines of fighting in southern Ukraine.
The UN atomic energy agency has repeatedly appealed to both sides to refrain from shelling the Zaporizhia region.
