how vast this country is. in zaporizhzhia, they are training for a crisis which some fear could be more serious than the chernobyl nuclear disaster, the worst ever. the region s power plant further south has been under russian control since early march and officials say the situation is approaching critical. it s changed dramatically, and of course we are concerned. that s why we are here, that s why we created this group, that s why we are involved in everyday communication with this. translation: it s impossible to ensure the safety of the nuclear power plant while the russian occupying forces are there. this is the key concern that we all need to clearly understand. there are growing concerns that russia has been using it as a military base. the city of enerhodar where the plant is has seen recent heavy shelling, both ukraine and russia blame each other. elena has just escaped from there with her children and just wanted to get out.
