Each side has since regularly accused the other of shelling around the plant and risking a major nuclear mishap.
Russian troops seized the station, Europe’s largest nuclear facility, in February 2022. “There is a serious threat because Russia is technically ready to provoke a local explosion at the station, which could lead to a release,” Zelenskiy said at the time.
Zelenskiy’s warnings echo comments he made last week at a joint news conference in Kyiv with the Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez.
