i don t know, if there s no people helping there anymore, maybe not their vote. max foster, thank you. top of a brand new hour on cnn. thanks for staying with us. i m victor blackwell. there are growing fears that there may soon be an escalation in ukraine after a violent attack in moscow this weekend. the kremlin is accusing ukraine s intelligence officers of carrying out an assassination of a daughter of a prominent putin ally. she was killed in a car bombing on saturday night near the russian capitol. russian security agency says a ukrainian woman was behind the attack and the bomb was detonated remotely. ukraine denies any responsibility. cnn s frederik pleitgen is live in moscow for us. fred, what s the latest. reporter: well, the russians have put out a video claiming to show this ukrainian woman enter russia, then move into a housing complex where daria dugina also apparently lived to see the daily routines of daria dugina, carrying out the bombing and escaping to
to cause an accident at this plant, and you could it could be a variation of a fukushima type disaster, that is some of the fuel that s stored at that plant. some of those casts could crack and be a radiation leak that would radiate the area, the town where most of the workers live, zaporizhzhia itself has about 700,000 people there. that would contaminate them. if you hit the reactor, if the power is cut off, if the water supply is cut off. if there s an operational error or if the containment dome is breached, you are looking at what jeffrey describes as a fukushima type of event, which would contaminate thousands, tens of thousands of square kilometers, including russia itself. putin here is showing a flagrant disregard, not just for the lives of the people in ukraine, but also of his own citizens. there are western leaders who want the iaea, the international atomic energy agency to be able

literally under gunpoint right now, i m worried you lose the pumps, that means you lose the water, that means the fuel can overheat and become damaged leading to a nuclear meltdown. everyone s mind, of course, went quickly to chernobyl when hearing about this. what is different though here with this facility? there are two key differences here. one of the most critical pieces is the containment dome that this plant has. so chernobyl style reactors didn t have any containment around their reactor pressure vessels but the reactor at the site have modern style robust containment domes. so this is 5 feet thick of reinforced steel and concrete capable of actually withstanding a direct strike from the airplane. and the other piece of it, there s one other piece of it as well actually. so the reactors chernobyl in a
