KYIV, Ukraine — Shelling resumed near Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant with the warring sides trading blame again on Wednesday, a day after the U.N. atomic watchdog agency pressed for a safe zone there to prevent a catastrophe.
The Russian side blamed the Ukrainians. Vladimir Rogov, the head of the Russia-installed Enerhodar administration, said on Telegram that heavy Ukrainian fighting had caused the city’s blackout, and Russia’s Defense Ministry blamed the outage on Ukrainian forces attacking a power substation. The fear is that the fighting could trigger a disaster on the scale of the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986.Because of damage from the fighting, the plant is generating electricity only to power its safety systems, a senior Ukrainian official said. The plant normally relies on external power to run the systems that keep the reactor cores cool and prevent them from melting down.
Authorities could consider shutting down the plant, Korikov said, without offering details about how that would work. He claimed fragments of Western weapons have been found at the plant, denied that Russia has placed military equipment there and said he doesn’t understand why Ukraine would fire on the facility, other than “to create an additional crisis.”
