Operations at Ukraine's Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant have been brought to a complete halt as a safety measure, as fears of a radiation disaster persist.

Energoatom, the state agency responsible for the plant, recently announced that work at the facility was "completely suspended" after it disconnected the power unit in the early hours of this morning.

In turn, Kiev on Wednesday called on residents of areas around the plant, which are controlled by Russia, to evacuate for their own safety. The Zaporizhzhia plant is the largest in Europe, and the damage that can be caused by nuclear radiation can be catastrophic.

The six-reactor Zaporizhzhia power plant went offline last week after all its power lines were severed as a result of fighting in the area and had been operating in "island mode" for several days, generating electricity only for critical systems of cooling.

Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of damaging power lines connecting the plant to the missile network and heavy artillery, risking a nuclear disaster. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for the surrounding area to be demilitarized.

The risk of further damage to the line "remains high", which would force the plant to be "powered by diesel generators, the duration of which is limited by the technological resource and the amount of diesel fuel available", it said. Energoatom". The atomic plant, one of the 10 largest nuclear power stations in the world, has been occupied by Russian forces since the early stages of the war.

Energoatom called on Russian forces to leave the Zaporizhzhia plant and allow the creation of "a demilitarized zone" around it. The International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations nuclear watchdog that has two experts at the plant, has also called for a safe zone around the plant to avoid a disaster.
