Russian troops have entered an area near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister has claimed.
The Ukrainian President believes Vladimir Putin’s forces are attempting to capture the plant itself.
Zelensky said his troops are fighting to prevent a repeat of the radioactive disaster, which struck in 1986.
Fighting is already believed to be raging in Chernobyl, near the facility which went into meltdown nearly 40 years ago.
