Moscow has called for a UN Security Council meeting on Tuesday to discuss the Zaporizhia plant, Russia’s state news agency RIA reported, citing Deputy UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyansky. Russia and Ukraine have repeatedly traded blame for shootings at the Zaporizhzhia facility, which is near the town of Enerhodar now controlled by pro-Russian forces. “Of course, we are worried… it’s like sitting in a powder keg,” said Enerhodar resident Alexander Lifirenko. The head of the city’s civil-military administration, Alexander Volga, said local authorities had a plan to deal with an accident, adding that some shells were falling near the plant’s six reactors. “In the event that a reactor is hit, it will not be a local, but a global disaster,” he said.
