Don’t trust or be afraid of Putin: Ex-Ukraine president
PBC News: The former president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has sent a defiant message to Vladimir Putin, as Russia continues its invasion.
Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Poroshenko called on the West to toughen sanctions on Russia and not to trust, or be afraid of Putin.
Russian troops have seized the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the Ukrainian authorities say.
“Operational personnel are monitoring the condition of power units,” a local authority said on social media, quoted by Reuters news agency.
Station personnel continue to work and monitor the state of the power units, it said.
A fire broke out at the plant earlier – Europe’s largest – after a Russian shelling attack, reports BBC.
