Contamination of vast territories, the official kremlin readout says. these new images seem to show little to no additional damage on the area of the plant since mid-july. but the ukrainians say russia has moved heavy weapons into the power plant and is shelling ukrainian towns nearby. it s unacceptable that russia puts all of us on the verge of a nuclear catastrophe of a global scale, ukraine s president said. as the brutal war in ukraine drags on with neither side recently making significant territorial gains, the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the biggest in europe with six reactors, lies right on the front line. one thing both russians and ukrainians can agree on, a full-blown nuclear catastrophe here could be as bad or worse than the chernobyl disaster in 1986 which contaminated large areas in eastern europe. the russians accusing ukraine of planning a false flag attack.
