 Russia and Ukraine on July 4 accused each other of plotting to stage an attack on the Russian-held Zaparizhev nuclear power station, along the subject of mutual recriminations and suspicions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he told his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, about Russian dangerous provocations at the plant in southeastern Ukraine. Russian troops seized the station, Europe's largest nuclear facility with six reactors, in the days following the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Each side has since regularly accused the other of shelling around the plant and risking a major nuclear mishap. Renat Kharka, an adviser to the head of Rosnergodom, which operates Russia's nuclear network, said Ukraine planned to drop ammunition laced with nuclear waste transported from another of the country's five nuclear stations on the plant. Zelensky tweeted that he had told Macron in a telephone conversation that the occupation troops are preparing dangerous provocations at the Zaparizhev.
