Ukraine’s National Security Council not fully aware of the situation at Russian-occupied nuclear power plant
The head of Ukraine's powerful National Security Council, Oleksiy Danilov, speaks to The Associated Press in an interview at his office in Kyiv, Ukraine, on Friday, September 2, 2022

THE HEAD of Ukraine’s National Security Council says his government is still not fully aware of the situation, including potential threats, inside the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant despite the ongoing inspection by United Nations monitors.

Oleksiy Danilov, a key official in Ukraine’s war effort, appealed for additional international support today to try to demilitarise the area that includes the largest nuclear plant in Europe.

“We do not know what is happening there, whether it is currently mined by the Russians or not,” Mr Danilov said.
