However, Russian troops are seeking to invade the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has notified. “Our defenders are giving their beings so that the tragedy of 1986 will not be repeated,” Mr Zelensky tweeted.
“This is a declaration of war against the whole of Europe.” The attack arrives as airborne Russian troops caught Antonov international airport on the outskirts of Kyiv. Russia asserts it has destroyed “over 70 military targets”, comprising 11 airfields.
