Ukraine’s nuclear chief calls for military-free zone at Zaporizhzhia plant

KYIV (Reuters) – The head of Ukraine’s state nuclear power company Energoatom called on Monday for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to be made a military-free zone and said there should be a team of peacekeepers present at the site.

He made the comments on television after Ukraine and Russia accused each of shelling the nuclear power plant – Europe’s biggest – which lies in Russian-controlled southern Ukraine.
