Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky said that the world 'narrowly escaped' a radiation disaster when electricity to Europe's largest nuclear power plant was cut for hours. Urging international bodies to act fast to force Russian troops to vacate the site, Zelensky said Russian shelling on Thursday had sparked fires in the ash pits of a nearby coal power station which led Zaporizhzhia plant to be cut off from the power grid.
