Ukraine claims Chornobyl confinement lost power after Russian shelling in Kyiv region

By Alperen Aktas
ISTANBUL (AA) - Ukraine’s Energy Ministry claimed Wednesday that Russian shelling damaged the energy infrastructure in the Kyiv region, causing a blackout at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant facilities in Slavutych.
It said voltage surges cut power to the New Safe Confinement structure, which isolates the destroyed fourth reactor of the plant and prevents radioactive releases.
“Currently, specialists are working to restore the power supply,” according to a statement.
Russia did not respond to the accusation, and international verification is difficult due to the ongoing conflict.
