Russia’s nuclear agency on Saturday said Ukraine’s shock cross-border attack posed a “direct threat” to a nuclear power plant located less than 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the combat zone.
“The actions of the Ukrainian army pose a direct threat” to the Kursk nuclear power plant in western Russia near the Ukraine border, state news agencies cited Rosatom as saying, adding: “At the moment there is a real danger of strikes and provocations by the Ukrainian army.”
