London ¨C Russia has repeatedly launched drones and missiles on a flight path near the disused Chernobyl nuclear plant during attacks on Ukraine, elevating the risk of a major accident, Ukraine¡¯s top state prosecutor said.
Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko detailed the previously unreported Russian military activity near Ukrainian nuclear sites in written remarks, as Ukraine prepares to mark Sunday¡¯s 40th anniversary of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Apart from the decommissioned Chernobyl power station, Ukraine has four nuclear power plants, including Europe¡¯s largest, which lies in the southern ?Zaporizhzhia region and has been occupied by Russian forces since soon after Moscow¡¯s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
