The presidents of France and Ukraine, Emmanuel Macron and Volodymyr Zelenskyhave insisted this Saturday that the safety of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia, the largest in Europe, be guaranteed.
The last reactor that was still in operation was deactivated last Monday due to the succession of bombings in the vicinity, which have continued in recent days.
The CEO of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) -the UN nuclear agency-, Raphael Grossimade a dramatic warning this Friday about a possible accident at that plant, occupied by Russia, after a bombing cut the external electrical connection with the plant the night before.
