Russia’s nuclear threats - In wartime, how safe are Ukraine’s nuclear power plants? | DW Documentary

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine, fears of a nuclear accident have returned. In the very first days of the war, Russian troops occupied the exclusion zone around what’s left of Chernobyl. Shortly afterwards, they took control of Zaporizhzhia’s nuclear power plant. Russian troops withdrew from Chernobyl after a few weeks. But Zaporizhzhia, Europe's largest nuclear power plant, has effectively been occupied since March 2022.
