Ukraine suddenly announced that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was in emergency. Zelensky claimed that more than 20 "Russian drones" penetrated through wave attacks and destroyed Slavtic's energy substation. The result triggered a three-hour blackout at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Zelensky claimed that the air strike "threatened the world."

According to Ukraine, Russia continues to launch large-scale air strikes, even covering the Odessa region. In addition to the power outage at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, about 300,000 people in Ukraine were affected by power outages, and some people were injured in drone strikes. Zelensky is currently planning a trip to Europe to attend a summit, and Kiev may use this to put pressure on Western allies to further sanction Russia.

It is worth pointing out that for some time, the focus of confrontation between Russia and Ukraine seems to have begun to shift to nuclear power plants. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant is a nuclear facility that has had an accident. The original reactor leak caused large-scale catastrophic consequences. The radiation dose it produced was even equivalent to more than 400 Hiroshima atomic bombs. Although the nuclear power plant is now sealed through external facilities, it is not foolproof. After Russia launched a special military operation, the Russian army once took control of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but then announced its withdrawal.

What the Russian army really controls now is the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in the Zaporizhzhia region, which is also one of the main goals of the game between Russia and Ukraine. These days, Zaporizhzhia's nuclear power plant has also suffered a power outage crisis, relying only on diesel generators for support. But Zelensky claimed that the nuclear power plant suffered a week's power outage and the situation was extremely critical. While there are diesel generators, there is a risk of failure.

Obviously, Ukraine's nuclear power plant has triggered a fierce confrontation between Russia and Ukraine. Kiev also seems to want to make a fuss about the nuclear power plant issue in order to attract outside attention and further "put pressure on the world." At the same time, there is a high probability that Russia will not admit Ukraine's accusations. Moscow has always claimed that Russian troops are mainly attacking "military targets" in Ukraine.
