"Zelenskyy warns of potential nuclear plant explosion as Russia blocks UN inspectors"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed concern that Russia may attempt to destroy the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in order to halt Ukraine's military operations. Zelenskyy believes that if Russia continues to lose ground, they may resort to causing a global nuclear disaster to instill fear and stop the fighting. Russia's Foreign Ministry has accused Ukraine of damaging the plant and warned of potential fallout. Zelenskyy, however, stated that Ukraine is prepared for a possible disaster. He also dismissed concerns about the return of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, stating that the group has been unable to defeat Ukraine's forces thus far. Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine will not yield any territory to Russia, including Crimea.
