Concerns rise over shelling of Ukrainia’s Zaporizhzhya nuke plant

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for sanctions to be imposed on Russia’s nuclear industry following the shelling of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant.

“Anyone who creates nuclear threats to other peoples is definitely not in a position to use nuclear technology safely,” dpa news agency quoted Zelensky as saying in his daily video address on Friday night, calling for punitive measures to be taken against Russian nuclear energy authority Rosatom.

Kiev and Moscow on Friday both accused each other of firing on Europe’s largest nuclear power station in the Russian-occupied city of Enerhodar.
