Rosatom chief accuses Ukraine of strikes on Zaporizhzhia fuel trucks, risking nuclear safety
Rosatom Director General Alexei Likhachev said Ukrainian forces struck diesel fuel trucks serving the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, killing two Russian servicemen and injuring many others, and warned the attacks near the plant’s perimeter jeopardize safety at the Russian-held facility. Diesel generators are used to keep cooling when external power links were down, underscoring the plant’s vulnerability. Ukraine demands Russia abandon the plant and hand it back to Kyiv, a demand Moscow rejects, while the UN’s IAEA maintains observers at the site to mediate and monitor safety.
