The United Nations has called for access to a power plant after an exchange of missiles hit very close to the location by Ukrainian and Russian forces. The shelling of the area was close to leading to a chernobyl-like situation. Antonio Guterres, the U.N. Secretary General, said that any attack on the plant is “a suicidal thing.”

Peacekeepers have been called to the location by Petro Kotin, the head of Ukraine’s state nuclear power company Energoatom.

"The decision that we demand from the world community and all our partners ... is to withdraw the invaders from the territory of the station and create a demilitarised zone on the territory of the station. The presence of peacekeepers in this zone and the transfer of control of it to them, and then also control of the station to the Ukrainian side would resolve this problem."

Petro Kotin said.

The Defense Ministry of Russia has claimed that Ukrainian shelling has damaged multiple power lines that service the plant leading to a reduction in output by two of the six reactors. However, as has been common in this ongoing war, Ukraine has blamed Russia for renewed shelling in the area that is said to have damaged three radiation sensors.

“The shelling was extremely dangerous. We expect the countries that have absolute influence on the Ukrainian leadership to use this influence in order to rule out the continuation of such shelling."

Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, said.
