TL;DR Summary

Russia plans to relocate around 2,700 Ukrainian staff members from Europe's largest nuclear plant, the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, in Russia-occupied southern Ukraine. The move could lead to a "catastrophic lack of qualified personnel" at the facility, warns Ukraine's atomic energy company. The governor of the region has ordered civilian evacuations from the area, including from the nearby city of Enerhodar where most plant workers live. The move comes amid fears of a potential catastrophic incident like the one at Chernobyl. Military analysts say Ukraine may focus the counteroffensive on the Zaporizhzhia region, trying to split Russian forces in two by pushing through to the Azov Sea coast in the south.
