Kyiv and Moscow have traded accusations about attacks on the power plant, Europe’s largest nuclear energy station, in recent months.
Russia’s defence minister Sergei Shoigu on Friday denied Russia had heavy weapons at or near the power plant and accused Ukraine of committing “nuclear terrorism” through its attacks on the facility. The United States said it has been collaborating with Europe to ensure sufficient supplies are available for winter.
During the first six months of the war, thousands of people were killed and Ukrainian cities reduced to rubble, and now there is the danger of a nuclear calamity.A United Nations inspection team, led by its chief Rafael Grossi, braved intense shelling to reach the Zaporizhzhia plant on Thursday. The site sits on the south bank of a huge reservoir on the Dnipro river, 10km across the water from Ukrainian positions.
Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu said Ukraine was continuing to use weapons from its western allies to shell the plant. He rejected assertions by Kyiv and the West that Russia had deployed heavy weapons at the plant.
