Ukraine’s state-run energy operator warned Saturday that “there are risks of hydrogen leakage and sputtering of radioactive substances” from the country’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as shelling in the Russian-occupied area continues, despite international pleas for a ceasefire.

“As a result of periodic shelling, the infrastructure of the station has been damaged,” Energoatom said in a statement, cautioning that “the fire hazard is high” and that the plant “operates with the risk of violating radiation and fire safety standards.”

    Of course a Ukrainian newspaper is not going to admit if Ukraine is shelling near a nuclear power plant in Russian occupied territory. You wouldn’t accept RT as an unbiased source, so why should anyone accept the *Kiev Independent?

    Kyiv Independent are the good guys

    Oh sweaty, there are no good guys and bad guys in this world. Moral judgements are not what determine credulity either.
