A Ukrainian minister has said Russia must urgently observe a temporary ceasefire to allow repairs on a power line to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant – warning radiation could be leaked if an electricity outage continues.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said “reserve diesel generators have a 48-hour capacity” to power the facility.
On Twitter, he added: “After that, cooling systems of the storage facility for spent nuclear fuel will stop, making radiation leaks imminent.”
