In Ukraine, there are fears about the fate of Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant.
Ukrainian officials say Russia is preparing to connect the Zaporizhzhia facility with Crimea, which it annexed in 2014.
The plant has come under attack several times in the past week.
Al Jazeera’s John Hendren reports from Kyiv.

Putin doesn’t care what the G7 says… Can we just go old school and carpet bomb Putin’s home…. I’m not fearful
Why would Russia shell the plant? Ukraine needs to stop telling lies. It is time Russia declares war on Ukraine and send it to the stone age.
Russia are using the plant to rest their troops, as the British said a week ago. Now they’re saying russia are shelling their own troops? The western propaganda narrative is so full of holes! Of course it is Ukraine shelling the plant.
Now I get it! So all issue with this power plant is that Ru cut it from Ukr power lines and reconnect it to Ru, so that all the powers go to Ru territories and Ukraine will get big hole in there power supplys. This is why West so hard to demand "demilitarisation" and "peacekeepers" there, so that Ukr are not died so fast to first temperature drops)))
Go Russia😎👍🇷🇺smash ukronazee..
Europe is playing with nuclear disaster. They are encouraging their vassal to go down the lane of self destruction. The whole Europe is playing with the destiny of their citizens even the unborn children.
Russia occupied Zaporozhye nuclear plant since March, has their soldiers guarding and protecting it from terrorist actions, but Ukrainians say that Russians fire rockets on the territory they occupy themselves.
Even with basic logic it sounds absolutely ridiculous. But the absurdity of the situation is that all Western medias are posting this lie

Ukr. nationalists bombed the largest Nuclear Plant in Europe. Last week they used drones to drop bombs at the site. Yesterday they fired 20 rockets at the Enerhodar nuclear plant damaging electrical lines that needed for cooling used nuclear wastes at the plant. Today they continue shelling nuclear plant site with multiple rockets fired from US rocket systems. They deliberately bombing the plant trying to create ecological catastrophe in Europe, and it will definitely affect the entire world, but they don't care… They realised that they lost this part of Ukraine forever, so they are trying to leave dead land so that Russians will not be able to use it, and nobody will be able to live there.

The shelling of the territory of the Zaporozhye NPP by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Energodar led to the de-energization of some equipment of the third power unit and a drop in power in the fourth. Retired Colonel Mikhail Tymoshenko pointed out the confluence of circumstances in which a second Chernobyl is possible. After the shelling, the water and power supply in Energodar partially disappeared. This was told in the Ministry of Defense of Russia. Ukr. are attacking Energodar using HIMARS or self-propelled guns Caesar, M777. All the firing points are coordinated with US/NATO advisers.
this Ukrainian is just acting like Zelensky. Russia cannot manage a nuclear plant?
God help Ukraine with a thoughtful leader or otherwise renew the head, mind, heart and attitude of their president to understand that it is his people that are dying, not Americans, not the British. Peace making is not weakness
Russia warned that if they lost ground they would set off nukes. The largest Nuclear power plant in Europe is another way. Why is this even possible?
Tell us the truth.
Ukrainian is winning any day
The Western and Europe will do whatever mean to put all the blame on Russia.
Electricity block…..
2130
Why does Russia have to steal from other countries
Russia is not that st😒pid in nukes ukraine just dont accept that the russians take the nuke plant and use it for their own.. while ukraine will exp. Energy shortages.
yeah cause it sure makes a lot of sense for them to have to blow up the power lines of a plant they control instead simply flicking a few switches to shut power headed to kieve controlled regions instead,, kieve junta are the crazy ones shelling it
Why would Russia be shelling a plant it has controlled since March? This is deranged propaganda of medieval proportions. Russia has 500 soldiers guarding the plant. If they wanted to divert electricity away from Ukraine they could simply turn off the reacters rather than risk a nuclear catastrophie. Ukraine though would gain if the situation became so bad that Western forces had to intervene. The real story is that Ukraine is prepared to risk a nuclear wind bowing across Europe. However because of the deranged and psychopathic system we live under the media won't touch the real issue here.
Nobody wins if there is a meltdown of the nuclear power plant and fallout contaminates our world/food/water and we all starve to death.
Putin just says “ one word , COPE “ ha ha ha
No wonder Ukrainian shelled that Nuclear plant. They're worried that plant will explode. Zelensky seems lost the plot. Modern Nero
Ghost of kiev, snake island dead hero, Ukraine fierce counter offensive, and Iraq has WMD, and Gordon Chang’s “China is going to collapse” will combine into an alternate reality where Ukraine invades and conquer Moscow by 25th December 2022, thanks BBC and CNN !!
Wow Nuc in Europe
Western propaganda… Russia knows how to handle nuclear well
The Ukrainians attacked that power plant. Not the Russians This is how the western media manipulate the news in their favor.
Ukraine is over their head, they trusted the Americans and now they are about to loose their country.
This is crazy, and very significant, that the Westerns propagandists can believe that the russians are shelling a nuclear power plant in their own possesion.
Blow up the plant already
