Nuclear plant loses power line as Moscow, West energy row escalates

KYIV, 05 September 2022, (TON): A critical nuclear power plant in Ukraine again lost external power, international energy officials said on Saturday, heightening concerns as the energy battle between Moscow and the West ramped up in recent days amid the ongoing war.

International Atomic Energy Agency said “Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia plant the largest in Europe saw its last remaining main external power line cut off even as a reserve line was able to continue supplying electricity to the grid.”

The plant, controlled by Moscow since Russian troops invaded Ukraine in late February, has become a focal point of the conflict, with each side blaming the other for nearby shelling.
