Here are the highlights of events related to the war in Ukraine over the past 24 hours:

Energoatom warned of a high risk of radiation leakage from the Zaporizhzhia NPP after Russian shelling

The Ukrainian state company "Energoatom" warned of an extremely high risk of radiation leakage from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant due to Russian artillery fire.

Fears about the potential for a radiation leak at Europe's largest nuclear power plant persisted Saturday as both sides traded blame for nearby shelling. Ukraine said Russian forces fired on areas just across the river from the plant and Russia claimed Ukrainian shells hit a building where nuclear fuel is stored.

Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant occupied by Moscow's troops came back online on Aug. 26, the state operator said, after Kyiv claimed it was cut from the national power grid by Russian shelling.

That is why, as announced on Twitter, that nuclear plant fell out of Ukraine's electricity supply system. Just a few minutes after that announcement, Energoatom announced that the power supply was temporarily enabled by remote connection to other systems.
There's ongoing work to reconnect two working reactors to the grid, according to the latest information.

All the eyes of the world are focused on the largest nuclear power plant on the soil of Europe - Zaporizhzhia, which is controlled by Russian forces. If "something breaks", the consequences will be enormous.

Reuters writes that the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, therefore proposed that the power plant in Zaporizhzhia declare part of the area around it a demilitarized zone.

They are deliberately damaging it to divert electricity production, warned Ukraine's state nuclear agency Energoatom.
Zaporozhye is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, and Russia captured it at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.

"They are planning to damage all lines from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant"

Russian forces occupying the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southeast Ukraine are preparing to connect to Crimea, annexed by Moscow in 2014, and are damaging it by reorienting its electricity production, Ukrainian operator Energoatom warned Tuesday.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Aug. 6 accused Russia of using the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant "for terror" after the operator of the facility reported major damage at the site.
