The world narrowly averted a nuclear catastrophe on Friday when a fire broke out during a Russian seizure of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the US ambassador to the United Nations has said. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has appealed to Russians to stage protests over Russian forces’ seizure of what is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.
Meanwhile, according to figures issues by the United Nations more than 1.2 million people have fled Ukraine into neighbouring countries since Russia launched its full-scale invasion on 24 February, according to figures by the United Nations.
