Russia asked the workers at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant not to come to work today (Friday).

According to a report on NBC, this request could be a hint that Russia is planning a large-scale provocation in the country.

This, against the background of the expected visit of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres during the day to the region.



"There is new information about a possible disaster at the station," said an official in the main intelligence directorate of the Ministry of Defense in Ukraine.

"Russia has instructed most of their staff not to go to work and this is evidence that it is preparing a major provocation at the power plant that may involve a radiation leak."

On the other hand, it was reported in the media in Russia that Ukrainian army forces began shelling an area with a civilian population in Energodar - a city located near the nuclear power plant.

It was also reported that yesterday Russia threatened to close the station and warned that there is a risk of disaster in the area due to shelling from Ukraine.



Guterres met yesterday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Lviv.

The three discussed the global food crisis and the danger of a nuclear disaster at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.

The subject of peace talks with Russia also came up during the discussion - Zelensky said that any outline of peace would be possible only after the Russian army withdrew from all the territories it had conquered.
