London – 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.
