Tensions Rise as Ukraine and Russia Clash Over Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant

Ukraine and Russia have traded accusations regarding an imminent attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Kyiv claimed that Russia was planning a "provocation" at the plant, while Moscow accused Ukraine of planning an attack. Concerns over the safety of the plant have been heightened since the destruction of the Kakhovka dam, which provides cooling water for the reactors. Both sides have regularly accused each other of endangering the plant's safety since the start of the war in February 2022.
