Ukraine news LIVE: Nuclear panic grows as experts reveal Europe’s largest atomic plant has been damaged ‘several times’

FEARS of another Chornobyl-style disaster are on the rise, as UN experts reveal Europe’s largest nuclear plant has been damaged ‘several times.’ The head of the UN’s nuclear agency announced that he is “worried” about the Zaporizhzhia plant in southern Ukraine, following Vladimir Putin’s brutal shelling of the facility. This comes after the UN dispatched a 14-strong mission to the plant, hoping to investigate the damage done by constant Russian shelling. While Russian forces obstructed the investigation, Rafael Grossi noted that his team were able “to gather a lot of information” during their time at the facility. “It is obvious that the plant and physical integrity of the plant has been violated several times,” Grossi told reporters after he returned to the Ukrainian-controlled area with part of his team. “Today we were able, in these few hours, to gather a lot of information. The key things I needed to see I saw, and their explanations were very clear,” he said. “I am worried, I worry and I will continue to be worried about the plant.” Grossi concluded: “The important thing is the IAEA is staying here.” Read our Ukraine-Russia blog below for the latest updates…
