This was done, according to Zelensky, to “ blackmail our state and the entire free world.” He added saying, “ Every Russian soldier who either shoots at the plant or shoots under the cover of the plant, must understand he is becoming a special target for our intelligence, for our special services, for our army.” Visit BBC News for up-to-the-minute news, breaking news, video, audio and feature stories. In a video address late on Saturday, Zelensky said that Russia has engaged in “ constant provocations” by firing on the plant and claimed that the red forces stationed there use it as a military base to attack other surrounding regions of Nikopol and Marhanets- on the other bank of the river.

While Russia has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and justified its control of the plant as an effort to prevent possible leaks of radioactive materials during fighting in the region, Zelensky has made his intentions of an offensive attack clear. The UN has been alerted by the intensity of shelling in the region, propagated by both forces and is compelled to step in and warn both countries that continued hostilities around the station could result in a widespread nuclear disaster, affecting much of Europe.
