Continued shelling was reported in the area overnight, and satellite images from Planet Labs showed fires burning around the complex – Europe’s biggest nuclear plant – over the last several days. The Zaporizhzhia plant has been occupied by Russian forces and run by Ukrainian workers since the early days of the six-month-old war.In yesterday’s incident, Ukraine and Russia blamed one another for the transmission-line damage that knocked the plant off the power grid.
The country’s nuclear power agency, Energoatom, said the plant had been reconnected to the grid and was producing electricity “for Ukraine’s needs”. Russia-installed officials in the Zaporizhzhia region, however, said that the plant was supplying electricity only to Russia-controlled areas of the country and not the rest of Ukraine.French President Emmanuel Macron said a visit by the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency should be allowed to take place “very quickly”, warning: “Civilian nuclear power must not be an instrument of war.”
