Ukrainian and Russian leaders accused each other this week of preparing for what could be a catastrophic attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
While each side has repeatedly said the other could be planning an attack on what is the largest nuclear power facility in Europe, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that Russian forces allegedly put objects resembling explosives on the power units at the plant.“The Russian military has placed objects resembling explosives on the roof of several power units of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant,” Zelensky said in his night address, citing Ukrainian intelligence agencies.
Despite Zelensky's latest claim, International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Grossi said on Wednesday that inspectors did not find any signs of mines during their most recent visit. Days earlier, U.S. National Security Council coordinator John Kirby provided a similar outlook from what the United States was seeing as it relates to a potential attack at the Zaporizhzhia plant.
