Russian army concedes Ukraine advances in Kursk offensiveKyiv and Moscow traded blame on Sunday after a fire broke out at a cooling tower of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, under the control of Russian forces.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a social media post that"Russian occupiers have started a fire" at the plant, accusing them of trying to"blackmail" Kyiv. In a later statement, the IAEA said it had requested that its team get"immediate access to the cooling tower to assess the damage"."Russia must be held accountable for this. Only Ukrainian control over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant can guarantee a return to normalcy and complete safety," Zelensky said.
The site is on the eastern bank of the Dnipro river -- a de facto front line snaking through southern Ukraine. Later Sunday, each country blamed the other for a fire at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine occupied by Russian forces, though both sides -- and the UN nuclear watchdog -- said there was no sign of a nuclear leak.
But the army on Sunday appeared to concede that Ukraine had been able to penetrate its territory by up to 30 kilometres in places. Zelensky said in a social media post that"Russian occupiers have started a fire" at the plant, accusing them of trying to"blackmail" Kyiv. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and has waged an unrelenting campaign, occupying swathes of the east and south and subjecting Ukrainian cities to daily missile and drone attacks.
Russia's rail operator has put on emergency trains from Kursk to Moscow, around 450 kilometres away, for those looking to flee.
