Ukrainian Nationalists Have Attacked Substation Supplying Power to Chernobyl NPP

"Russian troops established control over the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant on 24 February.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian authorities informed the International Atomic Energy Agency that the plant had been "fully disconnected from the power grid" and claimed that "radiation leaks" were "imminent."
Ukrainian nationalist forces committed a new and "extremely dangerous provocation" by attacking a substation and the power lines which provide the Chernobyl nuclear power plant with electricity, Russian deputy defense minister Nikolai Pankov has said.
 "We would like to emphasize and warn that any disruption of the work of compressor stations, or provocations against them, is the responsibility of Ukrainian authorities. This is their contractual obligation, it is the responsibility of the Ukrainian side," Sorokin said." Sputnik
