Ukraine's Nuclear Plants Face Escalating Threats Amid Ongoing Conflict
Ukraine's President Zelenskyy warned that Russia's shelling of the Chornobyl nuclear plant and other energy infrastructure pose a global threat, amid ongoing attacks and sabotage linked to the broader hybrid war. The incident follows similar issues at the Zaporizhzhia plant, with the US considering providing Ukraine with intelligence for long-range missile strikes on Russian energy targets. European nations face increased security challenges from Russian drone and sabotage activities, prompting calls for enhanced defense systems. Additionally, the G7 is intensifying efforts to pressure Russia by targeting its oil exports, while France has detained individuals linked to suspected drone operations.
