Residents of the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, close to Europe's largest nuclear power plant, express fear as Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of planning an attack. "Chernobyl is nothing compared to our nuclear power plant" says 46-year-old Natalia. "It would affect Russia, or half of Russia for sure, and half of Europe".

Europe's largest nuclear plant has been reconnected to Ukraine's electricity grid, allowing engineers to shut down its last operational reactor in an attempt to avoid a radiation disaster as fighting rages in the area.
President Zelenskyy and other senior Ukrainian officials have intensified warnings that Russian forces plan to sabotage the Zaporizhzhia power plant, the largest nuclear facility in Europe.
According to Ukrainian military intelligence, the situation surrounding Europe's largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia has never been as serious as it is right now. Kyiv's military chief says the Russians have mined the site, with the aim to block the southern front leading to the sea. FRANCE 24’s Gwendoline Debono went to meet the mayor of Enerhodar – the town where the nuclear site is located – as well as former employees.
